The "How does it work" questions focused on "how do they know when you left your car?"

One word - footrests.

Thank you for the clarification, it wasn't obvious the search engine wasn't related. Looking through the text listings, I found some awesome deals in the Austin area, but sadly not within a reasonable distance of the conference.

Does anyone else think it's odd that the suitcase and the duct tape are listed together? Is it an editorial comment?

As the old saying goes, your mileage may vary. I need to stay in Austin next weekend and found that Travelocity did a LOT better for me than Extreme Hotel Deals. Will it be better every time? I doubt it - but it clearly pays to check a number of sites.

My reaction to this is somewhat reminiscent of "Yesterday someone told me you could cook with leftover wine. What's leftover wine?"

Every decade or two, until they sold their speaker line to RCA, Radio Shack would accidentally make a really good speaker. And then they'd realize the error of their ways and stop. When I was a kid, they sold a line of electrostatic speakers that were quite good for the day.

A coworker produces training videos in the office. The bad part is the white noise generator in the office. If we didn't use Audacity to filter it out, it would sound like it was recorded in a rain- or hail - storm.

The discount seems to be applied at checkout. It worked for me!

QuickOffice is a different company. If you're happy with QuickOffice, keep using it. If you're not happy with it, or just can't live without yet another flippin app on your mobile device, or if you want the One True Microsoft Experience(TM), go for it!

LuckySponge hit the nail on the head. What are the tradeoffs of having a bar stool and a fixed height desk at standing height, versus a regular chair and a motorized adjustable desk?

If it has never landed you a job, it's not working.

Shared this article on Facebook. The best reply? "Why would I want to do that?"

Mirrorless Interchangeable Lens Camera? MILC? Really? Is that the new industry standard name? Rather similar to another acronym with less savory associations.

It was time to upgrade from point-and-shoot cameras, I needed a better image and better glass. And my searches and research kept going back to the Samsung NX series. It doesn't have as many lenses as some, but it has enough to meet my needs.

Probably none. All of them use a LED as the viewfinder. If your night vision is important, that might not be a match made in heaven. As much as I like my electronic viewfinder interchangeable lens camera, perhaps a DSLR would be a better match for this application.

Maybe you should have waited 5 minutes.

You're probably right. While the guy did a good job fixing my windshield, I wasn't entirely convinced about the rain-x thing. I probably should have expressed more skepticism here and asked for feedback.

This is a BIG reason why you should keep your domain registration and hosting service separate. Having separate companies doing both gives you a lot more mobility.
