@hal_c_on that won't work if you've plugged any cables into the dock. it also seems to lack the stability of the Floater

@b1tr0t see my note about conserving desk space; i have a 24" monitor which is all the screen real estate i need

@O9scar that might just do the trick; good find, i didn't think to look for book holders.

Wikipedia to the rescue.

List of songs with the name of a musical performer in their title

I think this is the only relevant list there -- check it out yourself by searching "song titles" on wikipedia.

Yeah, sorry if I was vague. The plan is to replace all of the buttons so they'll match.

Thanks for the tips folks.

Les Savy Fav. They're better.

Property Shark.com has listings for Seattle and a number of other major US cities. You can search their database by street address and obtain all sorts of information about the property (who owns it, its zoning, valuation, etc.)

Maybe an apprenticeship? I know a few welders around me that still offer both formal (through a school) and informal apprenticeships for novices to learn the trade.

Lake Wallenpaupack in the Poconos (PA) is beautiful. I'm not sure about pricing, but it's only a 3 hour drive from the city and not a terribly popular place for people to "summer" if your looking for someplace kind of quiet. There's a bunch of neat little towns scattered around the lake, and there are plenty of hiking trips to take in the region as well.

I'm trying to find out what the rules are for republishing jokes in a mainstream media publication.

jimw nailed it. i prefer to read these sites in my browser, not via a feed.

Jim, I guess you would be the expert in this field. If you don't know of any comparable services, it's safe to assume none exist.

I'll just have to wait for Yahoo to get their act together, and follow Jim's blog in the process, as he does a better job of keeping users updated than Yahoo does.

I should be more specific. I'm looking to do this myself, at a Kinkos or something similar (I'd rather not have to send away for it), but they don't seem to offer anything like this.

Very cool - 4x6 seems like exactly what I need. Thanks.

Thanks felix, that at least gives me a starting point. I can't believe it didn't come with directions or some kind of diagram. Kind of makes me feel like an ass :)

I recently bought the Maxtor One Touch, and although I'm thrilled about the drive itself I am entirely unimpressed with Retrospect. It's just painful to use -- they maintain that it's so easy you don't need a manual, but I found it to be the opposite. I wound up using the One Touch button to trigger Rsyncx and that works great.

It will take you a while to run a complete backup at first, but if you do it often it shouldn't take very long at all (I run it weekly on my 50gb... [more]

Mixel Pixel. I haven't heard much of them, but they might fit the bill.

At first I thought that maybe it was due to prolonged standing at bar all night - but I'm not in that bad of shape. On top of that, it happens even if I get drunk sitting down.

Get at least the 512mb -- I'd recommend going even higher, but it doesn't sound like you'll be doing much heavy lifting.

The OS itself doesn't require much room on your hard drive -- disk space is really a preference I think.

This is fantastic -- thanks interrobang. These Tex Avery cartoons are exactly what she was talking about.

It seems in addition to The Car, there was also a T.V., Farm, and House of the future. Still hunting about for where to purchase -- Amazon seems to have a few Avery collections with these toons, but many are out of print.

I hereby second the vote for Aquaphor. A bit expensive, but it does the job magically.
