The Mobile Barcode plugin for Firefox does the same. Ironically one of the most efficient ways to transfer small bits of data to your smartphone, e.g. links, contacts, text.

@Gotlactose: Then move the freak away. You'll save money. You'll only have 2 garages but you'll do okay, I promise.

Kid's iPhone.

Hey, two of my computers already have this exact interface! It's called Gnome-Panel. Way to copy someone else's reinvented wheel! Linux 1, Windows 0.

@jackster: OpenOffice has a mail program? I'd no idea....

Why change the autoreplace to something else equally problematic (not all systems / mail programs display control characters the way Chris assumes, either!)?

Doesn't handle step-family at all.

I have a real hard time with the idea that people spend over $100 on a cell phone that they don't know how to use.

Neat, although it's not hard to roll your own by hand, either.

"There are two schools of thought on this".

postal rates have increased more slowly than the actual inflation rate in the last 30+ years.

Unemployed neighbors, as well as self-employed home workers, are not a good idea to start chatting up if you intend to be a productive home worker. They have LOTS of time to talk.

If I had sufficent house space, I wouldn't need organization. :)

Sir, you don't know how lucky you are to have (a) an attic and (b) few enough toys to all fit in a toy chest.

Lunch is often the budget scapegoat, and IMO unfairly. I would save more by brewing coffee instead of going to Starbucks.

I've recycled candle wax just by cramming the leftover hunks into a flared glass, using a thin strip of t-shirt fabric for a wick hung from a rod over the glass. The oven does not have to be very hot; wax melts easily. Once it has melted enough to have a flat surface on top, it's more than good enough.

Simple, modular office furniture may be good used, but not home furniture — especially if not fully assembled. I've been dealing for months with a nightmare with a used piece of prefab assembly furniture. Repairing worn attachment points, searching high and low for special brackets, and even having to divine the shape…

Well, this would certainly (maybe) save you time if you'd already come up with the idea of turning a real photo into an A Scanner Darkly looking image. Which... you probably didn't, before you saw this.

Won't ruin the book?! You drill holes into the thing for goodness sake!

iaw wrathchild. This is silly. You don't need to install obscure software to do this fairly easily.
