   I do this as well, more of a "track where I am when I'm reading" when I get distracted by something else, I quickly return to the spot. I dislike it when something like WSJ puts those 'learn more' links after you highlight something right u

   Themes caused the most round-about slowdown for me when they were introduced. I haven't gone back to using any theme sense and I get fast speeds on a 5k msg account. Also - Hooray for a free, fantastic email service. Thanks google!

   In a similar vein, outside organizations can poll our University with what's called an "Open Records Request." (Kansas Open Records Act - http://www.dol.ks.gov/es/html/kora_drh.html ) Any data that's not protected under some law (HIPAA, FE

   It is a waste of resources for a college to recruit, advise and coddle an incoming class of students to only lose 20-25% of them due to fail outs after the first two semesters. Retention is a huge issue at state level universities. It's not

   >Suits are made to be as comfy as pajamas. There is a reason investment bankers tolerate them. If yours isn't, it's either a lousy suit or it needs to be tailored. Wearing a tie to bed sounds like a form of mild torture.

    Just a .02$ story about renting from about two years ago. I never really rented before this but was making enough money finally to say 'eh what the hell.' I rented three games in a row from the local hollywood video for my 360 that were unp

    "It must be so much easier to buy the software from you than getting the illegal copy that your customers will quickly dismiss the latter." Yes THIS! Exactly. Perfect example in my book is Steam. Steam has singlehandedly made me a consisten

    Wow, you just saved me the headache of just stripping out the offending White on Black css using a devtool. Thanks much!

    State Academia here - No free coffee. We sorta have a informal 'coffee club' in our office. You bring in a round of homebrew and make it when there isn't any in the pot. You also hate on the people who make weak coffee.

    Took a picture of a Halflife 2 poster I have in my office ( http://store.valvesoftware.com/productpages/prints/product_H... ) - not only did it return a strider battle youtube but also a wiki article on it.

    This works really well. Picked out the KU logo and Swingline staplers perfectly. Choked on a big box o Jolly Ranchers. I'll prolly keep futzing with this for the rest of the day now.

    As I work at a good sized institution I gotta disagree. The effect I actually see is that students who spend more time at our university take up disproportional resources and end up costing the university money - Since students who take &#6

    I, too, read this and started laughing hard. Good old highschool memories of huffing whippets and laying around giggling like idiots. NO2 makes me love going to the dentist. Huffing whipped cream to 'feel better' is lunacy. Go have a beer a

    Same here. Government feels weighty. Altho I do catch myself hacking something together with figurative duct-tape and grunting "good enough for government work."

    Imagine you haven't had a smoke for 2 days and want one. That's all that quitting is, putting up with that feeling for a long time. You get used to it! It took about a year before I really stopped noticing that feeling. Whenever you smell o

    Yup! I didn't renew my AT&T contract in favor of Google Voice. Whenever I find an ~iTouch/Android (Zii EGG!) portable that does what I want over WiFi I'll happily avoid larcenous SMS fees. I'd say that's a good threat to AT&T.

    I'm dubious about what the "Flame Retardant" can actually prevent. In my past, Polystyrene has always proven to fall in the "very, very flammable" category. I'd like to see a video of someone experimenting with progressive intensities of op

    Good article - I'm happy to find out that other DBRs have the same healthy fear & utter suspicion for each analysis they write as I do.
