I totally disagree with tip #4.

Soap Nuts FTW!

Post offices don't like to mail boxes that look beat up and torn. If you wrap the beat up box in a paper bag like a present, they'll take it no problemo.

@PyroOsik: A light coat of butter or oil gives the potato a nice crisp and flavor.

Wow, thanks for the process monitor tip!

I bake my own sweet potato fries with olive oil and seasoned salt.

Wow, Mike. I thought you were being harsh, but it turns out you were being nice.

If the Wacom Cintiq 12" model was a tablet, I'd carry it around with me. I could care less about the OS, as long as there is one good painting/sketching app.

@nachorevolution: Also, if you read the comment from the photographer, she said she was sick about 30 minutes after eating it.

SG1 and SGA were pretty good. SGU has a bigger budget and better visuals than the first two series, but it just isn't fun or adventurous.

@TheFu: I may be more paranoid than you. I have most of that inside a fire proof bag. Also, I have an extra pantry of high calorie canned foods that I donate and restock before expiration dates. And some freeze dried foods just in case I need to pack lighter.

When my mother in law's neighborhood in Mexico finally got broadband, we sent her a laptop with a built in web cam. She isn't very tech savvy, so before I sent it I installed Windows Live Messenger and created a new account for her. Now my wife and her video chat all the time, we even cut the long distance plan.

@RD Matt: Possibly, but if by chance it got injured, I wouldn't have the heart to release it in the wild.

3D Max would be great. That's the only reason I can't switch to Linux.

Very cool. I'd probably have some shredded or wadded paper in the trashcan to soften the landing.

@Taggart6: I have Chortles: Your post is LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL ... nevermind, I'm not funny.

@fxsoap: You just apply. When I worked on a popular real time strategy game, the testers we interviewed had to prove they were really good players. Part of the interview process involved challenging them to a game of Warcraft3 or C&C.

@I_have_something_to_say: What about powder that's not in a puck?

Funny, I found this video by accident before my daily visit to LH.
