Matthew, type first dir C:/cygwin/home/user/fixedbbot/

Adam, so sorry to do this. I'm still having problems with teh l33t script. I'm getting the same error with my G5 OS X Tiger iMac. I've downloaded and installed the fixedbbot program, got it up and running, but it still goes boom in the same as before. Am I the only one having problems with this? Also, would you happen…

@Sanja: but the point of this is to have it entirely automated! Sending SMS to you email and then typing those out is a lot of work which this program gets rid of.

Sorry, I should have added the error:

I'm having the same problem as spacehaven and mrapplegate. I don't really understand spacehaven's suggestion to get it to work. Can anyone help?

@JezCurious: relax, jeez.

Personally, what I've done is ended the conversation as quickly as possible and called back immediately. This ensures that I'll speak to someone else who knows what they're doing and has a shred of decency. IOW, what skormos said.

DeeJay, and how exactly do you know if you get your point across? When I taught non-native speakers of English, they often got confused by statements such as "I never ever ate there". Of course I could also mention that in legal contexts the correctness of phrasing can save companies millions. I know this for a fact,…

Sorry, I must comment again.

Wow, Scott, for someone so intelligent and working at a "major university press" (we in academia laugh at you who failed to join the club), you sure don't know what you're talking about. A grammatical error such as "I have never ate there" is not a non-native mistake, but American regional dialect. Correcting it is…

I double the compliment to whomever was listening to Frou Frou—they roxors my boxors. As does Quicksilver. I only wish they would implement an add to iCal module much like the add to Google Calendar module. There was a hack using a 3 year old service, but I never got it to work.

I do a lot of public speaking (I'm in academia, so a lot of conferences, presentations, lectures, etc.), and it's become second-nature. I think I have a bit of an edge because I've done much more public speaking than most at my level (first-year PhD student), and a calm demeanour and smooth speaking voice impress…

Allow me to prove a point with minimal effort. Please read the following:

Okay, this clained 133 wpm for me. I know I type fast, but most typing tests rate me at around 100 wpm average. I'll ake 133 wpm and sure as hell that's what I'll be telling everyone now, but I have my suspicions.

Whoa! I've never seen so many comments on Lifehacker.

Here's my biggest e-mail sin:

I think I agree, monkeyboy. On the one hand, I like [todo.txt] because it uses the least amount of tech for the biggest output; I don't really see why an internet solution is necessary for a simple todo list, as much as I like [rememberthemilk.com] and its staff.

@Phoenix: lol internet fight

@phoenix and MeEducated: I am not talking about the customer always being right, I'm talking about maintaining a level of decorum necessary for writing to a broad audience. This predates capitalism, as you can see it in medieval writings. Your analogy is still plain wrong.

This is an ingenious idea, but I see a problem with it. It cannot generate the cold air itself, which means ou are relying on an alternate source. This means (in physics terms) that you're using something else (ie. a freezer to make ice) in order to remove heat energy from something. But that energy must always go …
