From the looks of it, this would only make a sew-sew scroll saw.

@TehBeardMan: The worst thing about smoking pork shoulder? They're so hard to keep lit.

Back in 2000, Bruce Branit and Jeremy Hunt released a three-minute film called "405: The Movie." It's worth watching if you've never seen it. They used this exact technique, but with video, to film the 405 in Los Angeles without any vehicles on it. Go here: [www.405themovie.com] to watch it.

It never ceases to amaze me how little people know about online privacy. We constantly have remind students about the consequences of sharing too much, and how employers use social networking sites to vet potential employees.

@virtualcourtney: Thanks, but keep that joke to yourself... Wouldn't want it in circulation.

I use chipotle pepper powder in mine, and use the knife technique here ([www.youtube.com]) to remove the pit and meat.

@DrNugu: "achieve communion" fits your definition, plus it's ironic because it's usually used in a religious sense.

As many have already said, if you're a student or work at a public institution of higher education, check whether your school has a purchase program. I work at a public institution in Wisconsin and students and staff members can purchase personal-use copies of Office 2007 Professional for $72. I'm sure a similar…

The slide used as an example is endemic in the military. When I worked as a researcher for the military, I'll never forget the first research report I submitted. It was tightly written, professional and concise. The major brought it back to me and dropped it on my desk and said, "This needs work. They don't read it.…

Snickers=crack to me. I showed my wife, and she said "Delete the bookmark. NOW."

@defuse: I work in a college where lots of non-trads like you attend. First, moving in with your parents is a good option, because that takes some of the burden of having to work enough to pay rent off of you. My recommendation would be to be aggressive in your information collection... Find out what support services…

Lisa, on an episode of Mythbusters that aired 22 Dec 2004, the spoon trick was tested and debunked.

I have used audio alerts for years as a way of managing my massive daily influx of email. Here's what I do: I look at my email inbox at work three times a day, at 8:00, and 12:00, and 16:30. However, for a small group of individuals I deem important (my boss, and my direct reports), I write Outlook rules that play…

If Michael Jackson wasn't in such grave shape now, do you think he'd re-think is life and say, "I need something to stop this coffin?"

@joe.glass: At least Natalie was up front about it.

Firefox

I ran into a glitch when I upgraded from v1.4 to v2.1: It swapped my left and right folders. I haven't found a way to swap them back, short of manually recreating the folder pairs.

I guess it's true... With excess cabling, you've got to draw a line somewhere.

My only addition would be some kind of mobile power system. Then, when the wife was carting you to another room while you were in the middle of a firefight, you could say, "Slow down, honey! I'm on a roll!"
