@Melde: Highly agree here - sketchiness is usually reported in the comments. If there's a long list of comments and everyone is saying it's spam...

@teh1andonlym0: I think it's funny that most of the problems people have with your idea (coercion, identity verification) would also apply to absentee ballots, which are currently in use and no one seems to have a problem with.

HUGO RULES

If you are even remotely interested in this topic, PLEASE read Evan Ratliff's article "Vanish" in Wired magazine. It's incredible:

They need to do this for Hulu. I can't get anything to run off that site on my desktop past 12 fps.

For the love of God, there is so much misinformation about hand sanitizers it drives me nuts.

@virgilstar: I find that people who put down television don't watch it or don't know what's good to watch, so their opinion is frequently moot.

I figure I'll be the minority voice and express satisfaction with everything buckets, provided your sifting and filtering method is fine. I tend to think Evernote's search works great, which is why I like it.

@Will Burns: FYI - practice this before attempting to do it in front of friends. It's a little tricky.

I work at Starbucks, and we will use something very similar to this when someone orders a decaf coffee later in the day, because not enough people order it to necessitate brewing an entire batch. This makes a single-serving drip and from what I can tell it does a pretty good job.

Has anyone mentioned that the beanbag was supposed to be a replacement for a tripod? I want to be the first person to point this out.

Oh man, I am anxiously awaiting an authenticator app for iPhone or Android that works similarly to the WoW one.

Shame. One thing I loved doing with this was seeing if I can could workaround payphones, since GOOG411 was an 800 number. So if you wanted to call a taxi cab, normally you'd need to pay for the call. But instead, you call GOOG411, ask for a taxi cab in your area, then tell it to connect. Voila, free phone call from a…

Just wanted to chime in to always double check your generics. With a pregnant wife, I've been extra careful about double-checking ingredients, and you'd be surprised how different brands can be at the "inactive ingredient" level.

"Oh man, it looks like the kindle I quickly grabbed off that dude's table at Starbucks while he was in the bathroom is a non-functioning demo-unit.

I believe this is a common debate (or rather, question of balance). On one end of the spectrum you have people who categorize and tag everything so that the workload happens during storage and efficiency occurs when searching, and on the other end you have people who throw everything else in the same place, and…

I didn't read all the comments, but as someone who ditched their cable a year ago in favor of torrents (yeah, I know) I should note this does nothing for you if you watch sports at all. There are low-fi ways of getting sports (justin.tv, hockeywebcast, etc) but if that's your bag you need to reconsider cutting the…

@wunddal: This is crazy talk. If I drink a water and have a burger, I'm not going to pay for my friend's import friggen' draft beer and his sirloin tips and mushroom sauce.

@hilltj: As someone who was once a waiter, this is really not that big a deal. People would always be so apologetic about having to do it, but it wasn't a big deal, especially if they already knew how much to put on each card.
