As an added, amazing bonus, PenFed doesn't have foreign transaction fees (at least on the super basic card I have of theirs). When traveling abroad, I carry two pieces of plastic: PenFed credit card and Charles Schwab debit card. Both don't have fees, including foreign transaction fees.

Thanks Whitson, just learned a new word: antediluvian. Nice.

Good eyes. I am surprised someone isn't getting sued. But if it isn't patented, there isn't a lot of protection.

I haven't actually tried, but good to know your experience. I assumed since you would be mounting the drives, it wouldn't matter what filesystem they were (HFS+ or ext4 or whatever) but whether you used the correct AFP (and definitely not SMB). Netatalk 2.2x comes recommended from folks around here for sharing to a…

So the issue isn't "Can I use the NAS for time machine?" its whether you can move your time machine backup to a different file system? Can't you copy the time machine backup to another drive with a different file system (using CCC or something), and then just re-format your USB drive to something like ZFS, copy the…

Q: Easiest way to re-do my Google Music library?

Great story, but its hilarious that this is the cover of my favorite album.

Keep in mind that depending on how far north of the equator you live, the Sun's path is going to be shifting a lot or a little throughout the year. NOAA has a pretty handy Sun calculator to show the Sun's path at your location any time during the year. Super helpful when planning a spring garden (broccoli, etc.)…

Thanks. Also, aside from going the SSD or Data Doubler Route, are there any specific 7200 rpm or hybrid drives that you or someone else has had a good experience with in a MacBook Pro?

I have enjoyed many of the boks you are talking about so I will say you definitely should check out Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones on HBO). Also, I don't suggest reading the book Martel wrote after Life of Pi, its not near as good. And my favorite author is Michael Chabon, probably read Yiddish Policemen's…

Best options or suggestions for upgrading my hard drive on a MacBook Pro?

The best advice I have for mac and cheese is to use yogurt. It gives it a kick that really takes it up a notch.

How many of these, if any, can be used with a custom domain?

I love that your comment made me remember that I have a badly neglected N800 sitting in a drawer. Need to get that thing back out...

Fn+delete does the trick! I don't think I can adequately describe how happy I am to have that ability back on my Mac. I would say this akin to win I realized command+` tabs between windows within an application. Seriously, thanks.

I'll have to wait till I get home to check if this works (work PC is windows). Regardless, thanks.

To all, thanks for the comment thread, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

How can I get the equivalent of a windows delete key on my MacBook Pro when using Excel?

Add vinegar to the water to help keep the egg together. Just my two cents.
