My wife finally got one after years of eying them in the store. In Red of course!

Personally when it's too cold I run this:

Oh... Yeah, I'm pretty sure no one thought I would seriously remove their hand ;)

Sharing a desk with my parents in high school was awful... I've recently informed people that my desk is MINE and anyone that puts crap on it is going to loose a hand... Maybe that'll help?

Get him to socialize. The same friend I mentioned has had trouble getting a job or really getting started in any project for a similar reason. He has no social skills really. Outside of his family he never had to interact (or the opportunity) with anyone else. If he could gain some of those social skills that…

I really wish I had a second bedroom to put my desk in. I'm not the kind of person that has an overflowing desk usually, but I'm certainly not a clean desk kind of guy usually.

Yeah, I see a lot of stuff like this and just think, "Well, that's not going to fly in my apartment complex".

Yeah, I have a couple family members that want me to teach them "how to make video games". I really try not to smash their hopes and dreams, but I neither have time to teach such an advanced topic from scratch, nor do I have an interest in game development.

Seriously. I couldn't find a program for my ti89 that would convert infix to reverse polish notation. Just something I wanted handy, but hadn't been done yet.

I see new programmers struggle with similar ambitions. I have a friend who wants to be a video game programmer, but doesn't know anything about programming. He's checked out lots of books on the subject, but without the basics...

Here's some of the things that I learned in the last few years.

Because most Americans don't have access to such a thing as what you described...

The girl is 4. Besides, the interest you would get from a savings account at a bank is negligible.

I'll second the cal for I'm just here for the food. When I'm teaching new people how to cook, I'll usually recommend/gift them a copy of that book.

No problem, the other thing that might be helpful is to connect something like Thunderbird through IMAP. That could handle your sorting and deleting.

Gmail's philosophy is something along the lines of "search not sort". However you can search for your largest emails with something like

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll take a look :)

Nope. I've actually been looking into doing this lately... Any tools you prefer?

I know a lot of people like that. I'll be damned if I can remember what money goes to what if someone asks. I can give a ballpark, but I'll be damned if I don't have everything lined up and calculated on paper.

I haven't had a Facebook account for a while, and to be honest I rarely think about it anymore. The one thing I've found weird, is that some people get mad at me for not having it. By that, I don't mean mildly annoyed; I mean full on angry that I've somehow disrupted their way of life and now it's "so much harder"…
