I like it.

My wife will be happy to hear this. It's a true story, and she just loves that I now say it like a fourth grader reciting his lines at the school play.

We have a crack between the concrete garage floor and the driveway. Every year, at least once or twice, we get a swarm of ants there. I get the Raid out and kill them. I once said to my wife, "I killed them. I killed them all. They're dead, every single one of them. And not just the men, but the women and the…

Gravicle1, can you spot me the $500?

Looking for something like this for Android. Any ideas out there?

Do you REALLY want an answer to that question? Seriously!

More important than eating when there are a lot of them, is eating when they are not breeding. Fish (all fish? most fish? I don't know!) breed at very specific times of year. If you eat a fish that was "fished" during their breeding season, you reduce their population by more than just one.

I was thinking the same thing.

I tried the "hey, I'm the only one who can do technically required thing x in the whole company, and I'm thinking about leaving" thing before. Got me fired before I was ready to quit.

I used Thunderbird for a very long time, and never thought I would want to use a web client for email/rss feeds. Then, I lost my job, and had to fall back on an old laptop that just couldn't handle Thunderbird and Firefox running at the same time real well. So, I switched to web access for my email and rss feeds. …

Lotus Symphony is/was a rebranded OOO to work inside the eclipse platform. No new features there. (I had both installed, and Symphony would launch something on startup that would make OOO say it was already running. I looked in my task list, and there was an soffice.exe running already. I launched Symphony, and got…

That and the fact that Lifehacker doesn't email me when someone replies to a comment (or maybe that I don't know how to make that happen!).

If you can build your own computer from scratch, this isn't as bad as it seems. I've opened up every laptop I've owned for one reason or another. (Well, this one is yet to be opened, but I've only had it a month or so!) The key would be finding a place for the controller board, and it sounds like an empty PCMCIA slot…

There is some correlation between the Sell by and Consume by dates, and that varies from product to product. For bread kept in the fridge, the Consume by date is further down the road from the Sell by date than bread not kept in the fridge. I just don't know how long either road is.

Willful destruction of US currency is not against the law unless it is done with intent to deceive people. If you're cutting up 1 dollar bill and taping the end of two ten dollar bills on it, that's intent to deceive and is illegal. If you just want to shred money because you're stupid, that's perfectly legal.

@undecim: I've been watching the HD light when it happens, and it will flick on then off, maybe. Nothing that indicates real hard HD activity that would slow things down.

@Teknophilia: Beyond the drivers for the laptop itself (some of which I had to install myself), and the basics like you mention, it's not looking like there's a whole lot. Man I was just hoping this was a windows setting somewhere! :(

@TheFu: I don't buy the keylogger/screen cap stuff with this company. It's got less than 220 employees, and only two or three are IT guys. The rest of us are consultants hired out to do work for other companies. But, I've been called naive before.
