Bouncing may not, but the great "mash it against the side of the mug" technique works wonders!

No, I would hardly say "packed". I live in the UK, and whenever we get a light dusting (by the rest of the worlds standards, that is) everyone freaks out and the country grinds to a halt. I am certain that the people I see sliding down hills sideways and stuck in ditches are the people who carry on driving as if…

I have a hard time believing adding 'balast' like this will really help traction. A car is a heavy old thing, adding a few sand bags (or bottles willed with sand) will barely make a difference in the long run.

14pt is barely readable .....

I used a mac for several years in an office that ran off a Windows SBS server that handled mail (through Exchange), sharepoint, active directory, DHCP, and a small office intranet, and I never ran into any real problems.

I'm assuming there must be something preventing you from using a jack splitter on one of the audio outputs and taking a lead from that to the line in on the second computer?

Vote: Apple keyboard (the wired one with numpad and USB hub)

Isn't the whole point of text messaging (and "iMessaging") that it is a passive form of communication?

I have a little "mind hack" of sorts.

On the whole I quite like the new implementation, the one thing the new one does worse in my opinion is handling multiple monitors. Sometimes I want to drag a window from one space on my left monitor to another space on my right monitor (or vice versa). Currently it can't do that, if it could it would be perfect!

Colleagues assuming you're always free to help with something or answer trivial questions that they could find out on their own, and thus neglecting to recognise that people have their own routines and workflow.

Pretty nice, been using the YTO Chrome extension for a while now and this gets rid of the need for it!

Ahh, wasn't aware of that!

For android: I use the app "shush!". Not quite the same, as it doesn't exactly schedule muting, instead when you turn the volume all the way down it pops up and asks you when to automatically bring it back up to it's previous state.

Much more geeky (and gratifying) to set up a Cron event to send this command:

I wasn't even aware of a problem with mounting an Android phone in OS X! Been doing it for years!

VOTE: Opera Mobile (not Mini!)

Seriously, don't lull yourself into a false sense of security just because you use Linux.

At first I was going to put my current laptop, a late 2011 13" i7 MacBook Pro. It's a great piece of hardware which I use daily for work and leisure, and I couldn't ask for anything better. It's perfect!

Yes but I'd never say "This road is 0.0625km long", I would say it's 62.5m, or 62 and 1/2.
