Ahhh... the title in the ask the commenters round up was "what perils await if I go paperless". I was all there ready with a comment about having very brown fingers, and making sure to have plenty of soap on hand in the bathroom sink, but then I get here and the thread's all about office paper!

Of course, the other solution is to just cook things the English way... wait until you smell burning, then go another 15 minutes. #cooking

Show me a decent tablet PC (not used, with a decent battery life, and doesn't weigh 5kg) for $200, and I'll buy you a coffee. #kindle

Have been running the RC for months and love it. Have also ordered a nice little 32GB SSD which will be getting installed in laptop at the same time as Win7 - looking forward to near instantaneous boot times! #windows7

Re the folder-on-the-desktop thing... this can be a major reason why desktops load slowly, if such folders get mega-sized over time. A better way is to create a folder in the C:\ drive root, and then place a shortcut to it on the desktop. You can make the shortcut invisible just the same, but everything will run a…

I guess I'm out of touch with rentals in big cities / cool places, but in most cities I've lived in there has always been an excess of apartments, and competition is not really an issue.

One thing missing from the Wired piece...

@moe52: I for one could not care two hoots about starbucks and their silly challenge. Kinda like the pepsi challenge of long ago. If soft drinks are your thing then it was important. If you don't drink instant coffee, then I seriously doubt any taste-test thing is gonna suddenly make you switch. For me, instant…

An easy way to avoid spending from your iPhone/touch, is to jailbreak it, and just use the BossPrefs app to remove the itunes store icon from the springboard screen. No store = no shopping!

Man, that has got to be one of the most FUGLY office set ups I've seen in a long long time.

How about a fix for a 100 year old house where none of the door frames are square, but the doors still are? I want someone to invent a shape-shifting door that can adapt over time to a sagging house and shifting door frames.
