  3. Re:Lack of an editorial board. on Online Reporters Now the Journalists Most Often Jailed · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Blogs can make a good starting point for finding info on something but overall they generally only post stuff that doesn't appear in papers or news channels because they lack the quality control or journalistic integrity of news organisations.

    And also because they aren't hookers.

    If a Muslim terrorist died and went to paradise to meet 72 virgins, there would be 73 people in paradise with no fucking idea what to do.

    A regular dehumidifier that drains into a commercial water filtering pitcher with a UV light beside it might be a workable solution for people on a budget.

  15. Re:Technology replacement on How to Deal With an Aging Brain? · · Score: 1

    Taskfreak rules.

    Using it for a day-to-day personal planner is genius. Depending on your operating system and desktop software, you could concievably run it on a local server and set it as your desktop wallpaper.

    I use a combination of Taskfreak and Webcal to schedule updates and to keep track of updates and changes to over 70 websites, and the access controls are fine enough to allow hirelings to use it as well. The comments feature is handy for version control of site scripts, and the whole structure of the script is logical and simple.

    There are quite a few other groupware and scheduling apps but most of them are way too feature-rich or they cost money that could be put to better use buying ad space or paying designers.

    Webcal is good for scheduling simple recurring tasks or appointments, with very low overhead and solid options for email notification. If only it supported SMS...
