@iPolak: You do have that right. It's called "Don't buy it if it doesn't work properly, and get something that does instead."

Red Dead Redemption is showing as $50.99 now, not $45.99. Looks like GS bumped the "original" price up by $5 or it was misreported.

@Coulterboy: Man, that idea is just so... so... Zuckerberg!

@Channan: Reminds me of that Ryan Singel article from yesterday: [gizmodo.com]

So apparently the Nexus One for AT&T doesn't count as a serious Android device? Good to know.

@Curves: I use anti-personnel landmines to keep the kiddies out. One blown off leg is usually all it takes to keep those present hedonist oriented little beasts away.

@timgray: even better idea - keep your encrypted and hidden OS on a removable MicroSD card, that way when they try to boot up your computer, its totally blank. you can then put all your dirty files on the computer, but it will look like it's completely empty!

Or, if you want to take the "make yourself as uncomfortable as possible" to it's illogical conclusion, you could shoot off a toe with an automatically timed pistol to get yourself out of bed.

@Simoniz: no worries - i was just doing a play on words with your grammatical errors - no offense to you intended - your writing is very witty.

@Simoniz: To follow up with that, here's a freebie from me:

@Simoniz: omg so THAT'S what I've been doing wrong all these years! nobody ever told me I had to unzip my pants first!

until you forget that one or both of the bikes have wheel quick releases on them, and you come back to find the mini-lock still firmly attached to the pole and nothing else. just attaching the wheel fork to the lock doesn't seem like the brightest idea to me.

software/OS updates? ha! I'm just so rich, I go out and buy a new computer once a week.

How does that saying go? Correlation does not imply causation?

one problem I potentially see with this is as a resident of Queens that rides the 7 train, there are a TON of people with their G1's on that train, possibly giving faulty readings for parts of Queens Blvd and Roosevelt Avenues (the main streets the 7 is elevated over) due to the train's relatively fast traversal of…

@SpudDude:

While I'm a 23 year old lucky enough to have amazing health coverage and a potentially secure job (so long as I don't get fired for goofing around too much on gawker media sites all damned day) - Right after I graduated college and before I started my salaried job, I lived by the Wild Turkey health care program. A…

I was about to say "Ohhh, Giz, you and your hating on the G1 by not even posting the correct photo of a G1 (though at least it is of this mythical "skype light" business). But then I realized this is Lifehacker. The overlap you guys have sometimes can be a bit confusing.

Clearly nobody here has heard of the upside-down-ternet [[ex-parrot.com]] - or the fact that they can use open dns (or their own damned list) to limit traffic.

This one is easy: Change your name to John McCain, and contact AT&T and Verizon. You'll have what you need in a week. For free.
