@dirtybacon: You take a decision: that's what you do. Either "punch him/her on the face" and walk away or learn to live with it. Just don't be a victim; life is too short. #communication

No love for those of us outside "the continental United States" according to Amazon... bummer #music

"Android twoDotO"? #remainders

Try sunlight: there's something about it that kills the bacteria that creates the stinky smell. Works like a charm. #diy

How can I make these work from a USB pen drive? My laptop's DVD drive gave up and in these days of drive-less netbooks there must be a way to do this. #systemrecovery

Is that Ballmer screaming in the background?

@orlo: Just look at politicians

Brings me memories from my days in India...

@maltese:

Geez... not sure about this one.. I've been on the hiring side and hardly see myself rejecting someone and including in the reasons, among others: "showed 30 minutes earlier; disrupts people's schedules".

I'm sure my colleagues -who work mostly on the road for 1 week to 1 month long projects, will find this "hack" interesting. To them, the priority is to carry the least amount of stuff while working on site. Many times, it's just not worth carrying/shipping/expensing a scanner you intend to use for a few days when…

@SalParadise: I agree... we've been bred to use these canned phrases only because HR guys use them in their job openings/descriptions.

Well, for starters, putting them under the sun does magic. Sunlight kills a good deal of the fungus and microbugs feeding on your skin residues and what not. It even takes care of any odors. Highly recommended at least once ever month or so.

Lassi? Wow... that explains why it's so popular in India. For the uninitiated, it's ice-cold watered down curd (kind of yogurth). You can have it with mango (delicious) or add some chopped coriander and sea salt (which is a nasty smells-like-sewer version they love here).

Spinning room... feeling dizzy...

My wife is looking for a solution like this... forwarding post now... thanks!

Been there... I travel to all these exotic places in South Asia and am always shy of taking pictures.

@zrag: That's probably the reason I enjoy audiobooks so much when commuting. Driving alone is the only situation where I find myself completely immerse in the plot.
