Funny, even when I game I rest my hand on the home keys. I just change the binds to use SDFE instead of WASD, why should I shift my hand to play a game, it makes me type faster in game also when voice chat isn't available, plus it gives me another column of keys to bind.
I wonder if they will also determine if it's just trackball or touchpad also, I know on touchpads I'm all over the place since I suck at them. The end guy is hard with all that two-finger gestures.
I think the terms of patents are too long. I think they should only last 5 years at MAX, and that should really depend on startup/manufacturing time. Basically if you didn't start making money from it and making your brand name known in 5 years for your "invention" then you don't deserve the profits of the idea after that time. We don't need to stifle innovation, we need it to grow, so make patents only a temporary place holder, NOT a business model!
Wait? They are going to ticket the owner of the car and not the driver of the car?!?! In the US, the police ticket the driver, NOT the owner. They aren't always the same person.
Make the error message do various things depending on the severity. Small error, make annoying noise. Big error, shuts down program. Huge error, force reboot.
Uh, you can play Castle Crashers (two at yours, two at mine), with only one gold account at each Xbox location. Just create an additional profile, (I called mine Player 2) and they are in the game, the only thing is "Player 2" cannot use the headset to communicate, annoying yes.
Uh.. with google gears you don't need a constant internet connection, you don't need a connection at all. I use gears on my netbook and I can still read/compose emails, read my google reader, make new and modify docs/spreadsheets all without an internet connection.
KeePass is an excellent utility, available for Windows, Linux, and other platforms. It's simple, quick to use, and configured correctly, you will only have to learn one password the one to unlock the encryption file.
Most banks, (well at least the few that I use). Require extra verification if you are trying to connect from a machine for the first time to the bank, (ie. mother's maiden name, father's birth year, favorite movie, etc.) giving you the password to my account doesn't mean you can easily get into my account. True, if I gave you my password, you are probably going to get my other information needed to log into the account since I'd be an idiot. It always falls back to the user being the biggest security hole.
I just wish there was a read-only method to my banking/credit information, something that I could provide to mint.com and not have to compromise my personal/private data to get the financial data.
As someone mentioned in one of the other comments, the Touch Book by Always Innovating is basically that. The keyboard is detachable and contains extra battery power, but the tablet portion is still usable. And it's on the fly dock/undock while working on it.
Google rules my iPhone, I have all the services synced to google. My phone is jailbroken (mostly for custom sounds), and I run whatever apps I want that Apple refused to "approve". It's really silly that an app which does A, B and C will get rejected, but 3 apps, which do A, B, and C respectively will get approved. If google made an Android install for jailbroken phones, I would probably install it as long as I don't lose much functionality.
Oh man I remember those days, we used South Park voices (don't kick the baby), Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and we even made our recorded voices while playing Worms as some voice packs for the game which is hilarious after drinking a bottle of vodka while playing.
A gun isn't the only thing that could kill you. Any blunt object can become a deadly weapon, or a knife, or bare hands. Not every neighborhood is bad where you might get shot, but almost every neighborhood is bad enough where you could get beaten or choked to death. Kid's party or no, crazier things have happened in the presence of children because the adults involved don't care.
It was stupid to go searching for an iPhone from a criminal (regardless how petty this one was). This is why I don't have MobileMe for my iPhone, I just have enough sense to keep my phone in my pocket (the front pants), and not let it out of sight just like my wallet and other personal possessions.
Why not just have the "which doesn't belong?" test? Shit even a 4 year old can do them, but I doubt that someone can come up with an AI that will be able to solve it regularly.
Red hooded cape, brown basket, bad wolf, grandma, witch. Which doesn't belong?

Actually, now several states are changing those laws. They used to get away with shipping from one state to another, no tax. But now warehouses are all around. Several states changed laws that, if you ship to a state and you have an establishment (ie. warehouse/office/etc.) in that state, regardless where the item is shipped from, a tax must be paid for the item shipped to the destination state. I know this is true of NY and NJ. Basically if I order something from NY and ship it to NJ, if they don't have anything setup in NJ, then no tax. If they did have anything in NJ, then I would be charged tax. Funny when shipping comes out cheaper than tax, I would rather pay the shipping and wait. Who wins then?
Alternative to weights is bands. Xertube is a brand, but easy to search for. They are cheap $20, and they aren't heavy like weights, and you can store them away with little space taken up. I work out regularly, but I don't like weights because of the chance of overexerting myself. Bands only increase resistance over distance, so the further you push, the more they push back, you really can't hurt yourself with it.
But for waist, you need more situps and a lot more cardio. Jump rope, if you never done it will take a few weeks to get a rhythm, but then you will be working to keep going.
Now those are all for in the house. The best I have found is going out and doing something: Frisbee with friends, jog/walk, play a sport, etc. Those are the best things to get you motivated to doing stuff on your own more.
And who do you call do deal with significant problems?
You call the operator, ask to be connected to your local police department, then they can handle your problem as a non-emergency-but-serious-enough-for-police-help.
When there was a car alarm going off at 2am on a weekday outside my window, that's what I did, I didn't call 911 cause they might be handling emergencies. They contacted the owner through registration/license info, or else they would have towed it for disturbing the peace.
Why hurt the environment in the process? You could instead have google encrypt the data a few hundred thousand times and provide the key and let Viacom waste their time and resources to decrypt all that crap.
While they are at it, they can provide the keys on a few pages of paper, noting that each encryption cycle has a different key. I'm sure that will be fun, especially when several of the keys are hand written on pages, can't let OCR have all the fun.
Libraries and Documentation. Those two are what make a language successful. The better those two are the better the language gets. That's why I like Perl. There are so many libraries/modules out there that if you have an idea for a function, it's probably already written (probably more than one way), and you can modify it to your needs also. The docs are usually very clear and give examples. I've had no trouble teaching people about Perl and I have had no trouble learning it, alone, from a book or website.
I agree, cp -rp ~/backup as a root cron job can easily save your @$$. you can even be fancy using tar or other commands/scripts. But even the Simplest one is better than none. I keep my mp3s in sticky bit dirs and have a cron just chown them so once they are there, they can't be deleted except as user mp3:)

Currently there was no way to install Chrome on Windows anywhere else except the %USERPROFILE% location. Have they changed this for 6?

Sounds like an idea.

You are aware that the iPad doesn't have a headphone jack correct?

Most people just want stuff to work, and don't want to care how.
Flash will not just work.

Yeah, at least I keep using my trusty search engine for all my porno searching: pornoogle.com
