    Don't worry guys, I got this!

    Vote: rugged flip phone (Casio gzone, etc.)

    Of course, you might need to make yourself wrench-proof...

    Yep, and HUH989 just did a really nice write-up on how to make this turn on and off based on location if you have an Android phone last month. Well worth the time!

    Windows Phone has the same feature if you go to windowsphone.com and register your phone.

    The RealVNC client for iPad looks like it's free today, too. (Just checked b/c I saw your post.)

    Splashtop is my vote, easily. It's by far the best when it comes to lag. I can actually watch videos on my iPad streaming from my desktop because somehow they figured out how to get the video to come across nice enough to see while keeping the audio perfectly in sync.

    Vote: VNC

    I don't know about the rest but I certainly would have a hard time using IE and Winamp on my Linux machine.
    Also.... IE... I'm not sure, but isn't Google Chrome the most used browser now days, cause if it is, then the "sheeple" don't even use IE either. d: (Before asking, I'm an avid Firefox fan.)

    Works on:
    Windows
    Mac OS X
    Debian GNU/Linux
    Ubuntu
    Mint
    openSUSE
    Gentoo Linux
    Fedora
    Arch Linux
    Slackware Linux
    Mandriva Linux
    ALT Linux
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux
    FreeBSD
    NetBSD
    OpenBSD
    Solaris
    Android
    iOS
    QNX
    Syllable
    OS/2

    Vote: VLC
    Why: so far it opens everything I throw at it. (Period)

    Sriracha + Ketchup is my go to sauce!

    Exactly! I handle warranty claims as part of my job, and being able to look at the aggregate claims as a heat map — on an actual map — is so much more helpful than looking at a Pareto chart.

    Unless it's panettone (Italian fruitcake). Mmmmm.

    I think I saw a book on how to deal with that. I will try to find the title.

    Try DoggCatcher for podcasts - I don't use it too much, but the paid version updates podcasts automatically (Great way to differentiate tieirs, if you ask me)

    Another method would be to use the app Authy, which has the capacity to store TOTP (Google Authenticator style) tokens for use across multiple devices. The tokens are encrypted on the client side so you aren't giving away your codes to anyone and its UX is so much better than Google Authenticator.
