  1. Cell Phone Docking Station on You've Dropped Your Landline — Now What? · · Score: 0

    Check out phonelabs Dock N Talk. http://www.phonelabs.com/
    I have had one of these for over seven years. Excellent gadget.
    I can use any wired phone in the house to answer or call out on the cell phone.

  2. Yes, go for it. on With a Computer Science Degree, an Old Man At 35? · · Score: 0

    I was in a similar situation. Dropped out of high school, got my GED in in the early 80's. Decided I did not want to come home ever night covered in printers ink. Signed up for Devry. I graduated CS in 1992. I was 32 when I graduated. Going back to school was was worth it.

  3. Wind chimes? on What To Do With Old USB Keys, Low-Capacity Hard Drives? · · Score: 0

    Take the platters out of the old hard drives and make wind chimes.

  4. Re:Just stop watching TV on Most Hackable Coupon-Eligible DTV Converter? · · Score: 0

    Unfortunately, no. Amazon accepts the territory protection scheme in place to protect the interests of various publishers, you have to buy from your local Amazon if you want to get a DVD

    Actually no.
    I have ordered stuff from amazon.co.uk, amazon.com, amazon-Australia, and amazon.ca with no issues.
    From Amazon UK I just received Season 1 & 2 of Doctor in the House. Have also ordered other DVDs from them (Space 1999 etc). Speedy delivery to Canada - just over a week - usually no customs duty or tax on the UK stuff. Don't think they watch UK mail as much as mail coming from the US. Had to order The Quiet Earth from Amazon Australia as .ca and .com did not carry the title at the time.

    Note:
    When ordering from these stores you probably will end up with region 2 or region 4 dvds. Region coding is a nuisance but it's easy to circumvent (no DMCA in Canada ... yet).

    Friends don't let friends buy Seagate.

    Growl.
    IMO, Growl brings one of the worst features of Windows to OS X. Stupid pop-ups interrupting me all the time.
