I am an attorney who defends RIAA file-sharing cases: [recordingindustryvspeople.blogspot.com]

The prostate line amused me. I tend to illustrate the point by asking potential pro se litigants if they'd remove their own appendix.

The one thing this seems really useful for doing is archiving list-based mail. If you're on several high-traffic lists, kicking them out to a private Google group allows for clearing them out of your inbox, browsing at leisure, full Google-based search, etc. I also suspect there's a way to "reply" to messages…

I studied for one bar exam while sitting on the beach; years later for my second state I camped out on my back porch (ah, summertime!)

I'm a big fan of the conference room method. In extreme cases I just leave the office entirely, take my laptop to the library or a coffeehouse and grind out whatever I'm working on.

@lordgaruda: As noted above, you can use "+suffix" in your emails. So, let's say I wanted to forward all my email from foobar@perpetualbeta.com to my Gmail account. I would set up the foobar@perpetualbeta.com to forward all email to "myname+foobar@gmail.com" then apply a filter to all "To: myname+foobar@gmail.com"…

@vr4z06gt: You win the thread.

I've got "!! In Case of Emergency" listed in my phone, so anyone opening the contacts can't help but see it - the double-bang pins it right to the top.

For what it's worth, I'd let you guys use any of my Flickr pics, even though I don't use the Creative Commons licensing scheme.

Another way to get commenter status: photograph an assistant editor passed out with a troupe of midget hookers and a six-foot bong labeled "Zeus."

For the sooper-dooper paranoid - throw a dot at the front of the filename to mask the .dmg file from casual snoopers:

@joshua: If you're paying off credit card debt, your loans would skyrocket for missing a payment anyway. So if you've got a card with a 15% rate, and miss a payment, say hello to rates of 20% or more. At least with a Prosper loan, you're saving money on the front end and are less likely to miss a payment.

This whole thread - especially the flaming hate for ""regards" - reminds me of last week's panel at SxSW:

@structuralpoke: That's what makes these shots so interesting.

Still no vcard plugin.

What some folks are forgetting is that network-level wifi encryption - WEP, WPA, and whatever might come down the pike in the future - don't protect you against other people on the network. (Legit or otherwise)

I ran into this in Albuquerque a few months back - there was a real hotspot which didn't work (!) and then some jagoff who had set up a trap. I tried to connect to that network (firewall enables, natch) to see what I could glean from it, but it was not only fake, it seemed to be totally non-functional.

I'd love to see Truecrypt for Mac. I can't for the life of me imagine why that hasn't happened yet.

Which of these options hides your... ahem... "private financial data" from Spotlight? So far, I'm confident that Spotlight only shows .dmg file contents when it's actually mounted. I haven't tried any of the other solutions.
