Unless you eat packaged foods or at chain restaurants, it is a HUGE pain in the ass to count calories. The sandwhich my wife made me today has ten damned things in it.

@markedward: My Dad did the same thing when we lived on Hoth

Yes, but not on purpose. I hate only having 16GB of storage when my collection is 523GB.

Got renters insurance because it could be used as event insurance for our wedding. First day of our honeymoon we had two bags stolen and were surprised that it totaled $1600 to replace everything. Very happy we got it and will never let it lapse.

Like another commenter we went the laptop route for our music. We didn't want the cheesy DJ guy and no band would play everything we wanted, how we wanted. We are avid music fans with a wide range of taste and people were asking us all night where the selections were from. Definite highlight.

@zrag: On the converse tip, I used to get my best thinking done over 100mph.

@WCityMike: It is what it is. Apple said after the release of 10.5 that this release would have little to no new features. It was always intended to focus on cleaning up 9+ years of code in order to have a solid platform to build on going forward. They are delivering exactly what they said they would.

@davidrools: But I work with idiots. Why do I have to talk to them.

Tri tip is great on the grill. The steaks and even the whole roasts.

@Hiram-Q-Pustule: I'll go a step further and suggest that you let it get up to room temp before cooking. You want the meat to be "relaxed". Hell, get it a massage and take it out for a couple of drinks too.

WHO'S A CUTE LITTLE PUPPY? YOU ARE! YES YOU ARE!

@Phoshi: My theory is that something got screwed up in rendering and had to go with an earlier placeholder graphic. It often happens that something will go all the way through post production and final CG will be the last element added. But it was so god awful, I would have rather watched a commercial.

I hope it fixes that Asl Manager bs where it pegs both my processors while I trying to do stuff. Important stuff. Not even porn related stuff.

IE6. I have to be a crafty bugger to use Firefox and technically they could fire me for doing so. But they can't. I'm the only one who knows how all of the fancy equipment works. IT calls me.

@jerkstore99: That's just where they are when the picture was taken. People don't leave them on the plane when they get off.

@Don Southard: Any one of those machines is just a months rent in SF or NYC. Sooooo, no.

I, like everyone else, thought it was a joke when announced. Two and a half months later I got an invite.

@NinaKolkata: Why is the beta tag strange? Is it done? Have they stopped improving it?

@BrettKS: Gmail launched on April 1st. I remember someone telling me about it on a message board and thinking my leg was getting pulled. I got in on 2 and a half months later and haven't even looked at my Hotmail account for over three years now.

@karlrove: 20% of our income goes to feeding our family of three. So I would have to say that is a significant expenditure.
