@sammouth: You're not going to get yelled at, but Windows Update is for updating Windows... not the other hundred odd things you have installed on your computer. Read more

@dwardio: Oh! Good call. I rarely run into that problem, but some hotels do charge. Read more

@timos: If you lay it on too thick, it does in fact leave starch. In a single pass or two it didn't leave any behind. Read more

@MattMiddleton: That's a great point and part of my own personal DIY ethic is that I hate throwing something out because a minor cheap component is broken. If you don't care about trash and environmental issues however, the equation tips strongly in favor of buying a new lamp for $10 or an even nicer lamp to prevent… Read more

@thinkerer: I'm looking for the "Honey we need a router!" project right now. ;-) Read more

@orlo: I disagree, and I say that as a life long DIYer. The roof I had put on last summer was done beautifully to a higher level of quality and precision than I could have hoped to do on my own. Read more

@bobby.tables: Mr. Jack is great. My wife and I picked up a copy last Saturday and we've already played three times. I'm sure we'll pick up Mr. Jack in NY soon. Read more

@bobbo33: Interesting. I'm going to try it out in this comment here and see what happens. [lifehacker.com] Read more

@giannisg: I don't know of an ebook app that doesn't read those two natively. Is there a reason you want to convert them? Read more

@Imagism: It's good in the sense that it's absolutely brilliant and an excellent addition to any mental library... but it's not a pleasant read by any stretch of the imagination. Books that mine the depths of social practices and culture rarely are. Read more
