A lot of people still use AIM. They just don't use AIM. They use Pidgin, Meebo, Trillian, iChat, pretty much any other IM program except AIM.

Step 1: Install Android on your Touchpad. If you don't have Android, you can't get it from the Amazon Appstore. [liliputing.com]

"...if you've got a list of deal breakers that has more than five things on it you are the problem."

I don't know about you, but I have poor circulation and when I crawl under the covers, I'm freezing and not putting off enough body heat to warm up the covers, and I wind up shivering myself to a miserable half-sleep. If I have a source of warmth, though, I can get to sleep and then, once my body is relaxed, it puts…

Or mix in some lavender with it, which is great for helping get to sleep. I personally have a little flannel-and-flax-seed heating pad that I use which doesn't smell at all, but it's probably not as easy to find flax seed as it is rice.

I curse and have no problem with curse words, but I try not to use strong curse words too much. They're emphasis words that lose their effect if you overuse them. It's like Caps Lock: obnoxious if used too much, but effective if used in proper context.

I can vouch for this. I make sure to only buy left socks at the store, and I've never had someone else's underpants spontaneously appear in my laundry.

The real question, magus-21, is did the original author of this idea separate student loans from debt in their equation? You can't say that their logic is flawed if you change the rules when you do your math. The 20% goes to "non-mortgage debt"... which includes student loans. Now, the way you allot the 20% is up…

The money in savings is for unexpected expenses that may come up between now and the time you are debt-free. If you have a sudden car repair, would you want to add it to your 15% interest rate card debt, setting yourself back again?

I have never been able to reheat french fries of any caliber, from the giant potato logs you get at Red Robin, to the teensy twigs you get from McDonald's. They always come out grainy, bready, and just plain disgusting.

For big parties, we usually do a turkey-and-a-half deal: We do the traditional roast turkey in the oven, crispy and golden brown (and usually slightly dry, haha), and then I do a turkey breast in the crockpot with the gravy. That way, we have the big presentation piece, but we also have what is the most succulent and…

If you don't have a "porous bag", go buy those cheap nylon stockings in a plastic bubble from your local drugstore or women's department. Seriously, knee-highs are cheap.

The problem with that logic is that baking soda is supposed to absorb smells, which means the odors have to be directed to it. Coffee, on the other hand, naturally emits odor, which is really all this hack is doing: letting the coffee odor overpower the other smells. It's like saying you need airflow to make an…

Do a Google search for "create ringtone". There's tons of sites that convert music into ringtones and MMS them to your phone for free. I discovered a really great one back when I had an old Nokia bar, but I can't remember it now for the life of me. The common ones I see are Myxer and Ventones, but there are…

Eh that's a difference of opinion. I can respect a well-made musical ringtone, as long as they answer it quickly enough for me not to have to hear the whole song. I use music tailored to the person calling instead of my own personal tastes, so I can identify people who call without even having to think about it.

My entire cell phone is Zelda themed, with a Master Sword background, the Link to the Past theme as my ringtone, and a plethora of Zelda sound effects as my notifications. Old video games work GREAT as sound themes for phones.

You can usually find good sounds like that, though, for free on the Internet just by looking up "sound effects". There are literally hundreds of free sound effect websites out there that just give away all kinds of goodies that work GREAT as ringtones and notifications.

Okay, I can kinda see why some people buy ringtones. There are some phones that are almost impossible to hack your own ringtones onto, at least for the average user. And if you're not tech-savvy, it can be alluring to just have all the work done for you.

There's no mention of an iOS version on their website, which only mentions Android 2.2 as a compatible OS. [www.ionroad.com]
