I appreciate the recommendation, but being an actual scientist I pretty much have that one covered (i.e., debunking what the media presents as science). Not that I am infallible but being a skeptic and not trusting anything without hard proof is pretty much my job.

most 4 cylinders have timing chains which don't need changing until 250k, hence the recommendation. My current car is a 1990 350SDL with 250k miles. Got it sub-$3K, and its still a luxury car which should last for 250,000 more miles (and has already been on a a few 10 hour road trips).

Every car I have ever bought was for $3k. Granted most of those needed about $1k initially just to get up to perfect (tires/brakes/timing belt), but I can get around 100,000 more miles out of them with minimum investment and then when I re-sale, its generally for $2-3k. Think in terms of cost of ownership: how much…

So I am a scientist, and for some reason I really appreciate solid news without a hard-science focus:

And I never had a chance to use PDF pen [lifehacker.com] , pretty awesome.

No Windows NT customizations? I heard there was a script to make Aero Snap work.

This post may help [lifehacker.com] for some issues with the open wifi. I think you need two routers, but the open one can be something super cheap like this asus (which I own) [www.newegg.com] and has DD-WRT already on it, or easily installed. Just run them on different channels.

I was trying to figure that out too, since burried in Onyx seems to be some pretty powerful options (in the cleaning tab for instance), but both seem pretty solid but probably the same tricks.

That is actually my phone. I agree with you. Am running a CM7 [2.3.4] flavored build which has made a world of difference. can't imagine still running stock 2.1. I think all the ROMs with their eventual battery pulls is what made that door so loose.

You can always read about ways to increase your signal before needing to buy a new router, [lifehacker.com]

super late reply, but podcasting on windows kind of stinks. Most of the media players have it built in if you have them (Winamp, Zune, DoubleTwist) and for stand alone, you want Gpodder [gpodder.org] which is super powerful with insane crossplatform power.

it was working briefly. If you have an account you had to place an invitee in a circle, post something to that circle and email it to them. then, they could use the link above, without an actual invite, to get started. I used that trick on two people at 10:45 PST.

Thanks.

Is the premise that journalists use FB? I really thought that was mostly twitter. I don't think 'liking' a revolution was very anonymous to begin with.

That hosts file linked to in the post killed my system (OSX 10.6.8) and adblock does a fine job. I have a modified hosts file on my phone which is definitely handy, but until I get better with picking the hosts list, I am sticking with simple browser based/css blocking for now.

Couldn't you limit this with permissions? It even sounds like, at least on the Win7 machines, it already takes admin to open, and on UNIX systems definitely requires sudo. I guess what I am saying is that as long as I am not running as admin constantly or downloading malware, it should be fine right?

This sounds like a good excuse to do an article about upgrading your hard drive on a macbook[pro] (or whatever Mac you use Adam).
