“Ettiquette question: What's the best way to tell a room mate that the noises he makes while eating (I'm talking moaning, grunting and slurping) are, how shall we put this, disconcerting?”

I've seriously thought of recording it and just playing it back for him... - Mark VandenBerg
Invite a woman over for dinner with you (not including roomie, though he's nearby), and have her make the same noises? - Ladybug Heather
"Hey, wanna know something? Most civilized people eat with their mouth closed." :) - Steven Perez
Pull him very very close to your face, look him straight in the eyes and whisper, "When you eat, it turns me on". He won't eat anywhere near you again. - Josh Haley

“So, who here, besides me, celebrates Festivus?”
Monday at 8:51 pm - Link
*raises hand* - Jill, Superhero Librarian
I remember festivus being a little too involved for me - ♫ Rahsheen ™ ★
It's for the rest of us! In fact some of my friends back home and I started a Festivus party tradition. This year will be the sixth year we've done it. We generally spend the night doing Seinfeld trivia, contests, and eat Seinfeld-related food like Snickers with a knife and fork or soup. One year we even did a scavenger hunt in The Woodlands Mall. :D - Haggis (Sean)
Festivus? - Lindsay Donaghe
I already have my aluminum pole set up! - Mark VandenBerg

“Poll: I am a Verizon Wireless customer and am going to upgrade to a new handset in a week or so. Heres the question: Touch Pro, Storm, Bold or Omnia?”
Monday at 7:46 pm - Link
I need my keyboard. So, for me the choice is between the Bold or the Touch Pro. I don't think the Bold is available on Verizon though. And the Touch Pro is just a touch expensive. - Yolanda
Storm, unless you dislike the BB os. - Mattie Kenny
Yolanda is correct. Striking the Bold from the list. - Mark VandenBerg
if you plan on staying with verizon i'd go with the omnia if you plan on using it as a real smartphone rather than a toy. if you want a pda and small computer go for the iphone. i'm kind of in the same boat and thinking i'm going to get an iphone after the next macworld in january. i was originally set on the storm, but it was less than compelling after the release - Cee Bee
Ditch it... go with iPhone!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you must stay with Verizon - go with BB Curve - Susan Beebe (Santa Claus)
Yeah I need to stay with Verizon. Something to do with a familial relationship with Vodaphone that I don't quite understand. No iPhone in my future, but that's okay as I have an iPod Touch and do enjoy it. - Mark VandenBerg
I'm still watching warily regarding the Verizon take over of AllTel. Most everyone tells me that Verizon cripples their phones, and having compared plans I'd be paying more too. As for the bold/storm etc, I'd suggest the Bold. The storm has been released before being really ready for market. I wouldn't want one myself in any case, as I don't like touch screens, much prefer keys, but then I don't make many phone calls, mostly SMS and emails on my curve. - Ian May
My Verizon bill was way cheaper then my sprint bill, but verizon does take a ton of the functionality out of their phones. a little google helps you get around some of the roadblocks though. I'll likely go back to Verizon when my Sprint contract is up. - Orphan Spinster Librarian
That's why the Touch Pro intrigues me; Verizon left the GPS and the WiFi alone, plus it has a touch screen and a real keyboard. - Mark VandenBerg

Did you take that picture while driving 100mph. - Bjorn Tipling
sigh. It's been forever since I was able to push my car to 100. stupid L.A. traffic. - pea♥ fierce as a woozle
Just mosey up to Barstow and head east! And if you look a little closer, it's a l'il more than 100... - Mark VandenBerg
I can't drive at 100mph here. - Morton Fox
Ooop! Gotta go folks, Kayla and Chantel just arrived with more champagne... - Mark VandenBerg
I drive over than 160 Km/h :D - Aida
Best memory about my first trip from L.A. to Vegas? Getting the mustang convertible I was driving past 100 mph on several occasions without once getting pulled over. And that sentence, my friends, tells you PLENTY about me. :D - pea♥ fierce as a woozle
Oh, Mark. You amuse me to no end. Enjoy! The champagne, I mean. - pea♥ fierce as a woozle

Gas must be a lot cheaper where you are. I can't burn it like that in San Jose. I still have to pay the rent and cross my fingers that the check doesn't bounce. - Pete Delucchi
Officer: Do you know how fast you were going? Motorist: I have no idea. The little needle stops moving at 110 mph. - Denton Gentry
Not fast enough! - Mo Kargas
@Denton: many years ago, my parents came to visit me in college. They got there awfully quickly but when I asked about it, Mom said she didn't go over 88 MPH. They had a new Lincoln with a digital speedometer and, for whatever reason, it didn't register anything above 88 (I guess because all the segments of the LCD were lit?). There's no telling how fast she was actually going. Not that 88 wasn't already pretty fast.... - Tommy Williams
pfft.. that the best you can do? ;) - Anthony Citrano
Anthony check the Odometer... - Mark VandenBerg

“So, you know how wireless mice all have a USB dongle? And how an average laptop never has enough USB ports? Why don't the mice makers build a combination USB drive/mouse receiver?”
November 18 at 9:06 pm - Link
I bought one of these Microsoft bluetooth mice: http://www.amazon.com/Microsof... It's really nice. I have large-ish hands but this one is still comfortable but compact. I have a Macbook and it works perfectly with the built-in bluetooth support. - Jason Huebel
I *hate* wireless mice and keyboards. I guess for most people they're cool, but when all your friends who come over are hackers, and they have these really strong wireless adapter systems that they personally tweaked, THEY.WILL.BRING.HELL.TO.YOUR.COMPUTER...bad experience, brrrr - Mohomed=genieyclo
I should have been more clear. What I have never seen is a USB memory stick/Mouse Receiver combination. - Mark VandenBerg
Logitech VX Nano has the smallest receiver I never see it any more. But you're right, not enough ports. http://bit.ly/2T0pYX - Andrew Trinh
@Mark, I see what you're talking about now. What if you used something like this? http://www.targus.com/UK/produ... Plug the small USB hub into the laptop (with the mouse dongle already plugged into the USB hub) and away you go. Even gives you addition ports! - Jason Huebel
@Jason I own about a hundred bazillion different USB hubs... most work pretty good. However, things like my iPod, some of my work test equipment, my Navigon, etc... don't work in them. Plus, I think it may be a good seller for Logitech/Kensington/Targus. - Mark VandenBerg
