I got a palsey in my left arm about 6 months ago from laying on it incorrectly for about an hour. My left hand was motionless for about four days and didn't recover, really, for a few weeks. I had just started a new job, where of course I use a computer all day; I also play guitar and basketball, so I was intensely

@KarateMedia: Entirely true. Consumer priced Acoustic guitars are really no more or less expensive than a consumer priced electric guitars. And if you're learning an instrument it does not make a shred of sense to spend anywhere near $3,000 ... What beginner buys a $3,000 guitar? Heck, what beginning spends more

This former Arizona QB is the only person I have heard of to have this reaction, being upset that his likeness is represented in a videogame. Most student athletes are excited to play as their team with mostly real players in the game. The litigants QB obviously sees an opportunity to make a buck now that his

I went to Florida May 1 - May 8th, and I'll be taking time off throughout the summer but I don't know if I'll do anything beyond a few trips to the beach and hanging out.

This works and it's decent, but there's one key flaw... especially with Gmail. Loading from the Bottom right sucks because the bottom right often has important info. In Gmail, all your chat windows dock to the bottom right of the screen, so this blocks chats. I have the same prob with Twhirl.

Meh... Win7 task bar works great at decluttering, and the fact that it's 'above' the aero menu bar is kinda weird. I'll stick to how it is :)

Because we all need to be more passively aggressive and anti-social!

EMailaholic... and my emails are typically rather verbose. I've made it a habit to add executive summaries to every lengthy email that I compose.

I _HATE_ voicemail and very rarely check it. Often times, I check it just to prevent my mailbox from filling up because then I get the inevitable "your mailbox is full.. wtf!?" emails.

Whipped cream is one thing that is very easy to make, much cheaper, tastes better.

I generally hate Tuesdays. I dunno if they're any more or less stressful than any other day. Wednesdays usually aren't great either.

But a salad and French fries is much better for you than french fries and chicken nuggets... obviously people who are thinking somewhat health-minded would do that.

Hate Hate HATE voicemail. People give me shit at work and on my cell for having full mailboxes, but the fact is, 90% of voicemail messages are "Hey, name, it's name, I'll talk to you later." And it takes like 35 - 45 seconds to get to that message... which is useless. Texting is wide spread enough that if you have

RonPaul inspired "american government" class in 3 ... 2 ...

It doesn't functionally matter, but they should quit using the BETA tag because it's devaluing the meaning of the phrase "BETA." It's a cover-all to let them have goofups and have things shut down inexplicably, but at the same time, they're offering this to colleges, businesses, and other enterprises as a solution...

@CreamSodaSlurpee: Agreed. I just bought a PS3 this week because I couldn't take another crappy baseball sim on the 360. I know that some people like the 2K arcade baseball game, so they could live without a good sim baseball game, but I needed a serious baseball sim that played well and wasn't utter crap ... so,

@TheIrishNinja: Sega Sports became 2K Sports, and slowly but surely, all of their sports games have turned to crap. MLB 2K is consistently one of the worst games made every year, and it's the only MLB licensed 3rd party baseball game; All Pro Football was decent, though not what everybody was hoping it would be and

wtf, this is the internet... how do I load a ".exe" in firefox!?

I think it's easiest to explain it this way:
