Mnemonic devices should only work one way; if you can screw it up, you need a new one. Like, when the time comes, I could easily misremember it as "Red and Yellow kill a fellow, White and Blue, good for you," which would get me killed.

See, with Starbucks, why don't they just do something where if you buy a cup of coffee, you get free wifi for an hour? Heck, I'd have no problem buying coffee every hour.

is this any better than Process Explorer? You guys covered it before and I thought it was awesome: [lifehacker.com]

Agree with the article. Get there early, then wait in the car or go to a nearby Starbucks. Show up five or ten minutes beforehand. Showing up half an hour early doesn't do you any favors, and usually just irritates your interviewer. If I had a dime for every time someone showed up to our office too early and their…

One question I never had answered was about in-network calling. My family and I have unlimited in-network calls. If my brother calls my google voice number and I pick up on my phone, is he paying for minutes? It's kind of a dealbreaker for me.

@Nathanael Dale Ries: That's odd - I thought CRTs and Tubes used less power than flat screens and LCDs. Or is there a difference between older tubes and newer tubes (no sarcasm, here, I really don't know) Here's a link showing that plasmas use 4x as much energy as CRTs [news.bbc.co.uk]

@krewemaynard: My wife and I have problems with bulk purchases, too. The skinflint in me loves saving money on paper towels, and the Costco near me is really cheap.

@UnMicD: Agreed. OTC drugs are a big one - same exact thing and usually for cheaper than branded ones on sale.

Layar seems really cool, but not that useful. I mean, it's cool to see it overlay on the camera phone video feed, but if I'm looking for places to eat near me, I'd just as soon have it list everything and then have me click on it and automatically route me via GPS. Seems like that would be faster than holding my phone…

I COULDN'T GET THIS TO WORK. =)

This is cool, but I wonder if it would get eaten up by either more general "How To" sites or by a bunch of enthusiast diy sites specific to the gadget (like, an iPod hacker forum).

I did this and highly recommend any job hunters to do the same. Job hunting, especially online, is very much a numbers game. If you want to be in the game, you have to submit a lot of applications, and you need to track those submissions.

I find it helps people to teach them in terms of a simple slip knot.

This goes on my list of things I will loudly applaud but quietly never use.

@AmphetamineCrown: Doesn't seem that off-topic to me. Most guys who buy convertibles are obsessed with their genitalia. =)

@.357-Wingman of Syrax: It depends on the channel and video creator. For example, CBS (on youtube) has complete TV shows and good quality video clips as well (I watch MacGyver on it all the time).

@dchall8: I agree with a lot of what you're saying, but it's not just on MS. Google Maps came out way after MapQuest, GoogleDocs is just a string of acquisitions like Writely, Google Voice is the acquired Grand Central, and as far as failed innovations go, how about Google Answers?

@MCWHAMMER: So when I Tivo American Chopper, Timewarp, Mythbusters, Rescue Me, Tudors, The Ultimate Fighter, In Treatment, and Breaking Bad, do I fall into the category of "basement dwellers with runny noses" when I use my 30 second skip to get through commercials? So if I'm watching Mythbusters with no commercials on…

Thanks for posting this! After their servers come back up I will definitely be checking this site out.

I second wordle for the artsy approach. I've been combining it with Project Gutenberg as a sort of mini-game.
