Hey guys, a simple reboot seemed to fixed the problem (whew!). I should've just tried rebooting from the get-go probably. Thanks for all of the suggestions! I'll keep them in mind if the problem comes up again.

I had an original gameboy when I was three. I could play it reasonably well. The long car rides spent playing Tetris and Kirby's Dreamland were probably more beneficial than detrimental. I'm not sure how the touchscreen the DS has would affect anything, but the original gameboy's large buttons seemed fine for a toddler.

I just went to the dermatologist today for my acne.

If you're using a cartridge razor, make sure you're replacing the blade regularly. The dermatologist reccomended a replace every three or four shaves. Also make sure you aren't shaving against the grain, as it can cause irritation. Shaving Gels seem to be a little better than foams, and never use soap and water.

Electric razors came highly reccomended. I ended up picking an electric... [more]

Fn doesn't seem to do it for me, upon initial testing.

Sbutler, as for OpenApple+Left/Right, it's very close to what I want, but it doesn't work on unix programs (i.e. Terminal, Vim, gVim, etc.) and doesn't quite behave like End or Home on a pc.

Ctrl+a/e does it for me. Thanks guys. I'll get into the habit of using it instead.

jjg, the main difference is that if, for example, you have wordwrap on, and a line takes up more than one line on the screen but is physically one line Home/End or Ctrl+A/E will take you to the end of the physical line, whereas Command+Left/Right will take you to the end of the line that's being displayed.... That's the best way I can articulate it. I apologize if my explanation is a bit convoluted.

I know a 16 year old girl dating a guy with a similar age gap. It's somewhat long term, and they both seem to be responsible about it. It was a little strange at first, but from what I can see (and it's admittedly from some distance, as I'm friends with the girl, but we're not particularly close), they seem to be in a pretty healthy relationship. The parents know about it. Had quite a shock when they first found out I hear, but I think they've warmed up to it. Overall I'd say it isn't... [more]

I set up a python script that does one of two things. I set a time and a task name, and it acts as a timer. When time runs up, I have the current timer action set to opening a "Times Up!" page on my web browser. Then when the time runs out, or I kill the program pre-emptively, the program writes the task name and the time spent on that task into a .csv file. I'm still tweaking it, but it's been working great so far in keeping me on task and tracking my time.

Another fun liquid nitrogen demo my Chemistry teacher did for us is drench cheetos with the stuff. It makes it seem like your breathing smoke when you eat it, it's a lot of fun. You have to be a little careful eating it, making sure you don't hold it in one area too long, but it's reasonably safe and a lot of fun.

From what my sensei from Japanese II to IV explained to us, giri choko is given out by girls on Valentines Day. While men are supposed to return the favor on White Day, she said it wasn't as common as girls giving it out on Valentines Day. Girls typically get a bunch of giri choko, and then get one big gift for their crush. I think it's less about romanticism than it is in the US though. Hope I helped, sorry I can't add more, as I don't have personal experience in the area, just what I've... [more]

I'm living in the southern area of where Bedhead is talking about, Cardiff by The Sea. Socio-economically, I'd say that it's definitely cost-prohibitive where I live. Homes were expensive to start out with, and from what I understand (I'm a high school student, so please understand my knowledge on the subject is somewhat limited), housing has experienced a fairly substantial inflation over the last couple years.

As bedhead mentioned, the schools in the beach areas are... [more]

Perspective might be what you're looking for. In addition, this page on Wikipedia might be a helpful reference. Similar to the wikipedia page, a good reference can be found here. Best of luck finding the right package.

You could block the port it operates on through the router. Although, I think a firewall lke ZoneAlarm makes more sense.

I'm not positive what your organization system looks like. Initially, I had everything done through raw text files. Since I use a hipster-pda, I wrote a perl script that parsed my todo list into an html file, that had a css include, so it was formatted for a 3x5. My main problem was I simply wasn't looking at the HPDA very much, so after a few weeks sticking to just hand-written notes, I've now switched everything I do into a pmwiki on my website. Keep in mind I'm taking on a bunch of... [more]

The Beatles are definitely a good answer for this, and probably the expected answer, but it's not without good reason. Pink Floyd would also make a good contender for this. According to Wikipedia, 1 in every 14 people under the age of 50 in the United States owns a copy of the album. While the Eagles are the best selling, Dark Side of The Moon is the 2nd best selling album in the United States.
