@UGAdawg: Can't always do that with tripods, lights, or large road cases of any kind...and UPS shipping isn't always an option when you have to choose between

Well, to be fair, it's not just as easy to get fat from almonds - sure, they have fat in them, but it's much better fat, there's none of the chemical crap that's in chicken nuggets that screws with your body, etc., etc...I'm sure you didn't actually mean that comparison, but I wanted to clarify in case anyone was

@Buster Friendly: Those are all good points, none of which I initially had in mind. I wasn't aware of the memory controller limitation, and that changes my misgivings about what you said earlier.

@Buster Friendly: I'd be interested in knowing the nature of the benchmarks you ran. Since RAM is traditionally most recommended as a multi-tasker's upgrade, did your benchmarks involve running multiple applications (or, even more pragmatically, a bevy of tabs in firefox/chrome)?

@orbitbreak: Yeah, you're exactly right. I think that was ultimately the spirit of the article, so I was reacting (and I think others have been picking up on this somewhat) to the part of your initial post that seemed like you were arguing against that. If you didn't mean it to be snarky, then neither did I.

@orbitbreak: Yes, thank you. I know what metabolism is. Andre re-addressed my point for me, but just so we're clear, I probably should have said "unless your body burns more than 2,000 calories/day...". If you want to fill the 2k calories that your body does burn with the dozen Big Macs you mentioned earlier (and good

@orbitbreak: Um, if you're looking to lose weight, you have to burn more calories than you consume. No way around it. So, unless your body burns 2,000 calories/day while sitting on your rear, yeah, you're going to need to do some "work".

@nolabar10der: I'll go one better than Copper: I spilled a bourbon/dr. pepper (both sugar AND alcohol) on mine a couple years back. Took 'er apart, rinsed with distilled water, let dry, and I'm typing this comment on it.

@Jason Fitzpatrick: Yeah; I had Charter for several years (only company available...) - in my experience, you don't want to try to cancel the cable - their price structure is completely nutso, and you'll end up paying ~$50 or so for just Internet.

@DisposableInterloper: Once again, I wish I could promote comments...I almost want to delicious tag that one for ideas later.

Don't forget some punctuation in there for sites that support it in their passwords - the more differentiation, the better.

@kureshii: Portable. Very good call; I should've thought of using portable apps for that. Thanks for the tip. #windows

@TheFlyingFish: Yeah; I came in here to say this very thing. Plugins, settings for programs like FileZilla - every time I grit my teeth to do a system backup, I comb through my Program Files folder to find stuff like this. I'd be pissed if I lost some of this info to a simple format/reinstall.

@ShadowStaarr: Sorry; I should've realized that was the point of miscommunication.

@ShadowStaarr: It's...not a typo, unless for you unlimited means backing up an unlimited number of computers. #onlinebackup

@mjpd1: Yeah; it's all fun and games until you get out the needle-nosed pliers to jam the cork the rest of the way into the bottle.

Ikea. Grundtal. Same price, no construction labor.

@phoenix: Sounds more like propaganda than conjecture. Yay, fear-mongering!

That sounds absolutely disgusting. Runny scrambled eggs are the reason I always regret getting scrambled eggs at breakfast buffets.

Ever since I heard about your site, I've kind of been wondering in the back of my head what you do about licensing and where you get your track library. How does your search feature work - do you pull info/tracks from [last.fm] or a similar service, or what?
