@wildeny: I didn't find that to be a problem, nor did it come up. In fact, this method has rescued an Australian copy of "Dark City" my mom accidentally bought for me for Christmas a year ago from the garbage. Read more

@ADM: Thanks, ADM! I was hoping somebody would share their command line tips. In researching this, I found a lot of instructions, but yours is much more straight-forward. I'll have to give it a try. Read more

@dwroth: True enough. It's not a big deal and I'm not really hiding, but CIDINHO is right — SpamBots are a tireless foe. Read more

@SnowLeopard: Thank you (honestly!) for noting my terrible n00b GIMP skills. I re-uploaded the pic using a more even, darker black-out, but it probably still looks a smidge juvenile. I promise to improve my FBI-type skills very soon ;) Read more

@natenovs: I had a problem downloading the "U.S." link on Softpedia and pulled from the Romanian site instead. The first MSI file for me didn't work because it was actually incomplete. Read more

@StrangeTikiGod: I also had to guess that there was some second-language writing there, but you guys usually seem pretty handy at doing a little decoding. And the break-downs are pretty handy, all grammar issues aside. Read more

@Andy S.: I should note here that iHound can also be set to place an "If found"-type file on a device, although that's something most anyone can do on their own. Read more

Hey everybody: I changed the link and put the strike-through in the post because it appears the content was copied pretty much word for word from a blog we link to frequently. I apologize to the How-To Geek for the unintentional dis. Read more

@devan: You are correct. I believe it would likely work for router antenna(e) since they look almost identical, but not being 100%, I struck out that suggestion and changed the headline. Read more

@surftrip: Good points on those secondary market sites, but I think SeatQuest's goal is to become an aggregator for both direct purchase and the secondary market (eBay and sites like the ones you mention). Perhaps a how-to ticket-buying feature is called for? Read more

Pulling out the relevant info from CWW's link: "... the Agriculture Department insists that the temperature between the thigh and the breast should be 165 to 180 degrees (the department has given different advice in different places), but professional chefs scoff, saying that's a guaranteed formula for dryness and for Read more

@-emory-: Actually, I am running Gutsy Gibbon at the moment, but I have to learn how to tweak certain folder permissions to allow VMWare to set up virtual machines inside of them. I appreciate the sympathy re: Vista, however ;) Read more

@ejcdke: I think the context behind Ruhlman's do-it-ahead advice is that almost nobody can fully comprehend a recipe if they're reading it during the cooking process. If you're taking time to chop onions, the garlic in the pan could get a bit too crispy. Read more

@radleyas: Oy, thanks for the catch. That was the result of trying to program Google Calendar to remind me of holidays like the "fourth Thursday of November"—and failing. Read more

@shane_mckinley: Good point, and I should point out here that Buzzword claims to offer just "preliminary Linux support." I'm using standard Flash on Ubuntu 7.10 and managed to edit a document. Anybody else having problems in Linux? Read more

@Columcille: No anti-MS snark intended, I assure you, however awkwardly worded. I only meant to say that yes, like Google, each of the MS apps in the Live package, by default, point your computer toward other Live services. Read more

@Posco Grubb: A valid point. I searched around a bit and never came across an obvious prank or worthless document, but nothing would necessarily prevent that, either. Sorting by "highest rating" is a kind of built-in filter, but I don't yet see a "report this document" link or the like. Read more

@chucklebuck: The extensions should work with NeoOffice. I just tested it on a G4 (PowerPC) box running an updated Tiger and had the clip art gallery up and running in less than a minute. Read more

@loudambiance: Yes, I corrected the feline confusion in the post ... thank you for catching that! And thanks also to NineTailedFox for noting the universal binary for the Tiger version. Read more
