@atomicrabbit: Still the chances of an issue arising from this are so slim that I wouldn't even worry about it.

@mangs:

@farcedude: Depending on your definition of cold, the Appalachian trail is great. I have yet to hike farther up than than Virginia though.

@ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO-TOAD: I thought it was growl for a second but it's still crashing on me.

I'm having trouble with it in Snow Leopard, anyone else have the problem of it constantly crashing?

@Unionhawk: That's a tricky thing to pull off. Scuba gear disguises the human face and it's hard for software to notice that it's human, I doubt it will tell the people apart.

@GitEmSteveDave_ForgivesChris4T...: Hmmm, that may become my new check book pen....

@GitEmSteveDave_ForgivesChris4T...: I think I use the jotter, but my parker is an all aluminum frame and the best pen for my on the go note taking.

I have something similar that I've dubbed my "emergency account" that I adjust to my current state. Right now it's at about 2,000 so that if I run into an emergency I can quickly get a new computer, printer, bicycle, or any other item I depend on. I've already used the account once for a bad hard drive.

@nwaasob: Noted and implemented thank you very much.

@minealone6: "Nothing At All" by Sulek. Awesome song just to have going while I walk or bike too.

@icecreamman: It wasn't a cold turkey kind of deal. I just sort of lost interest in it over time and now I watch less than 30 min. of tv a day. That 30 min is spent on news. I've taken a passion with local 'green' projects and bike rides. Which reminds me, critical mass is tonight......

@Toastie: Wait....audacity can save projects as mp3's. Sorry my roommate just solved my problem.

Okay, can anyone recommend a good audio converter (.wav to .m4a) for windows? I use switch on my mac but I'm digitizing my LP collection on my workstation and if I could cut my mac out of this process I would be able to spend less time moving files around and more time listening to music.

This is how I power the fan on my laptop stand. Works fine, but it's a little underpowered.

@Sean Masters: True not only are you held to a schedule, but natural lighting is also easier on the eyes.

Add a little lighting directed at your desk to reduce eye strain when you're trying to read books and documents. There are many affordable light solutions nowadays. I personally use several led lights to brighten my books when I'm working/studying.

@StevieQ: The problem is that Apple advertises themselves as a company that doesn't have these problems.

@Fabrictramp: I find that the two take about the same time as far as upgrades are concerned.

@snoweagles3 10.6: Yes, but I can usually rely on the bus at those moments. Also my proposal only works for those within about 10 miles of work.
