Actually, he mentions the base was taken from another chair.
I found two Herman Miller Eames chairs being thrown away. The bases were missing, so I pulled two chrome chair bases off some old desk chairs and mounted one of the Eames chairs onto a base.
Actually, bartering is already covered in the US tax code. You're supposed to claim the fair market value of the goods/ services you received as income.
Starting Strength is a good resource for learning proper weightlifting form and routines. http://www.amazon.com/Starting-Strength-2nd-Mark-Rippetoe/dp...
There is also a wiki covering some of the material with videos: http://startingstrength.wikia.com/wiki/Starting_Strength_Wik...
Hacker's Diet Online has a nice graphing utility. It's much easier to see progress on the average than with daily fluctuations.
Exactly, and while you're at it, don't ask your barber if you need a haircut.
I'm sure the low ink warning is justified somewhere on the grounds of ensuring consistent quality, but as long as the prints come out good enough, print away.
All-in-One Gestures saves me a good bit of time. It's the one addon I find myself missing when I'm not on my computer.
Using the scroll wheel to switch between tabs in the bar = priceless.
The issue with having individual fishing companies determining policies is that it invokes the tragedy of the commons. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons
This is addressed in part by the Law of the Sea Treaty, but this only addresses waters out to 200 nautical miles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_Sea_Treaty
Living resources past this zone are free game. If any fishing companies pull out of a region to allow the populations to grow, it only opens up opportunities for other companies to come in.
And now you have two problems.
The speeds are 1 gigabit connections. The Dark Knight Blu Ray was approx. 35GiB. At 1 gigabit connections speed it would take 280 seconds in a best case scenario.
That doesn't account for any network overhead and assumes the storage medium can write > 125MiB/s (Pretty much discounting all standard platter drives)
The 5-10 minute figure is reasonable.

Speaking of tabs, I often use the middle mouse button to open a link in a new tab. While you can left click anywhere on the text to open in the current window, the only place you can middle click is on the small link itself. This feels a bit inconsistent.
Also, the search box is too small for entering anything more than a few words.
On the positive side, the expanded text summaries are nice to find relevant content faster.

This is just a glorified digital photo screen with embedded controls in the bevel. It has limited internet connectivity through preloaded applications and no browser. Hardly a fair comparison to a real multi-touch tablet, even if it did make it to market first

This is really great news for the Sprint data plan users. I have the unlimited everything for $99, but I mostly call other mobile lines. With this change I can drop my plan down to the $69 bracket and still be fine on minutes. The free minutes are added to your plan at the start of the billing cycle if you have one of the unlimited data plans.
With an increase in the use of Skype and Google voice which circumvents the minute counts anyway, Sprint made a good choice to push through with this.
