In my experience, anything that comes in a spray can or bottle will kill insects, if you can hit them with it..

While I've got a microwave, I like the oatmeal that comes out of the rice cooker better. Rice cooker also lends itself to more of the "fire and forget" solution, where I can toss the oatmeal in the rice cooker, take a shower, come back and scoop it out hot.

I've had bad experiences shaking things full of hot water that I thought were properly sealed.

Crush the jeweled thrones of the world beneath my sandaled feet.

Seconded on keeping cold water around. Keeping a half-gallon of water in the fridge works wonders. I also keep a few plastic bottles in the freezer, each of which is filled about 1/3 of the way with ice, so I can grab one in the morning, top it off with the pitcher or the tap, and have ice-cold water with lunch.

Storing babies in the cloud doesn't work. They fall through and the airline gets angry.

Throw it in the fire and yell at it.

They'll be on the list. You can save movies that aren't even in theaters yet. If it's got a theatrical release date, you can probably save it for queueing using the Netflix site when it becomes available.

I'd agree that's it a bit annoying to have to install it, especially since it is pretty annoying to configure if you only want to upload part of your library. For instance, if you take the standard option to grab your iTunes Music, it will also grab your drm-free audiobooks and podcasts because of the folder the…

I don't have mobile phone service through AT&T, only landline service and until last month, DSL. I've never had any mobile service attatched to that account. I guess I'm just confused as to what "convenience" third-party billing was supposed to be providing.
