I usually hit F1 to hibernate and the power button to wake up to the password login. I'm not sure that this would be easier?

I don't know what you need out of a fitness site, but the Livestrong Foundation has something called 'MyPlate' where you can enter foods in almost any amount: 140g of apple, .75 oz apple, 1/2 serving apple, 1 cup apple, etc, and it calculates the nutritional value for you.

Something tells me this would be depressing. "You've spent...20% of your week waiting." "You've spent...50% of the workday commenting online."

I love notebooks, and I buy more than I'll ever use. I have a bookshelf with nothing but blank journals and sketchbooks on it, including a few that are still in the wrapper (a Moleskine, in fact). I've never used Field Notes, but I've given some as a gift. I keep thinking I'll use new notebooks, but I know I'll…

At the risk of sound naive and/or paranoid, I'll ask: I recall reading, I think at the Guardian, that the use of things like Tor or encryption services alone are excuse enough for the US government to start monitoring your online activity (and probably your offline, too - credit card purchases, cell phone use, etc). …

Thanks for the tips. I was thinking of a 'simple and easy' way to track my print collection; given the context of the topic I should have made the distinction! I've got far too many to type in manually on a tiny screen or to scan each UPC. If there was some way to convert an Open/LibreOffice or even an Access…

First Google Reader, then Astrid. Call me old fashioned, but this is why I will never trust the cloud with anything important, serious, or sensitive — nor any web apps with my data.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Can someone tell me, if you install a ROM, do you have reinstall all of your apps, settings as well? In other words, is it like getting a new OS or installing Linux on an old Windows machine, where all your old apps are erased/incompatible?

I think this is what I've been waiting for. I was 10 days away from going with Newsvibe.

Whenever possible*, pay for quality. It was specifically related to hand tools at the time — buy something that will last, rather than something cheap to get you through one job. You don't know when you may have use for it again, and you end up spending more when buying 5 or 10 cheap things over your life where 1…

What's up with the giant photo of the girl on the Earbits splash page? Is she a famous performer I lamely don't know about? Did she invent Earbits? Or is she just being used as eye candy? Why no candy for those who like the men? Don't get me wrong, she is beautiful, but, come on, she's not even wearing headphones.

Getting engaged. Couples falling in love. Babies. Oh, god, the babies. (But I do like them so. If you don’t like babies—hide!) Friends and acquaintances off on adventures. Beautiful mountain photos taken during weekend trail runs. Family outings.

I've never been so happy to see a cop. If he had come out pistol blazing, I don't think anyone could fault him. Good job, officer.

Interviewing at an architectural firm, I directly insulted a building that one of the interviewers had worked on (while at a different firm). What I said was absolutely correct, even if it did end up being what cost me the job.

I imagine there is an immense paper trail between telecom, NSA, and the courts. Not because telecom was fighting for customers' privacy and data, but because they wanted to make sure their own finances and security were protected if this ever got public.
