Cat-in-the-middle attack? 

Geeze, I can't function if I don't have 3 cups in the morning, 3 cups at noon and 6 cups after supper.

I used to work night shift, so coffee was mandatory, and lots of it. [attach=1]
The company saved quite a bit of money once they started buying crappy coffee so I started making it at home and bringing a thermos.
... and chocolate covered coffee beans for an extra eye-ball-numbing kick.

My after supper coffee is fresh ground Mocha Java that I grind myself right before making a pot.  Mmmmmm Mmmmm.  I'm sucking on a cup right now!!!

That does sound good! I grind my own as well, Kona if I can find it in decaf, made in a Moka pot^w for maximum flavor without the hassle of an espresso machine (though I have and use one of those too).
Cheers! [attach=2]

Some chips to go with that gum?

[Autohotkey]

A handy combination that I had to search like hell to find.  If a program's window disappears from the screen but it is still open - meaning the window has moved to a location off the screen:

Alt-Tab to the missing window, then Alt-Space, M, then any arrow key. Now move your mouse and the missing window will suddenly pop back onto the screen.
...

I wonder if I can make an Autohotkey macro to do it. Then I wouldn't have to remember it with my brain.

How's this?  Control+Alt+Shift+S to invoke:
...

When I've had that happen in the past, I kept an autohotkey script on my desktop that would grab the last active window and center it.  So I would select the hidden program in the taskbar, and hit the script, but I agree a custom hotkey would be better.
Since abandoning Windows, I don't have a copy to reference, but this may do the trick, anyone care to test?

Oh dear, diet Ritalin in gum form  

Seriously, I was a gotta-have-at-least-one-cup-a-day coffee drinker, and never had sleep problems, etc. until the day I ran out of coffee and money on the same day.  I got a headache that would kill a horse (good thing I'm not a horse, *ba-dum-pish*), and began weaning myself off caffeine that day.  I still enjoy a good 'cuppa joe' made with the best decaf I can afford, but even the best methods for removing caffeine unfortunately remove some flavor as well.  
Waiting for the day Coffea Charrieriana^w becomes widely available...

#DIV/0!

I always figured it was a case of "six degrees of separation".  I get "you may know X" emails all the time and it's somebody I vaguely remember from a place I worked at 15 years ago, but since I've been in and out of the same industry for ~20 years, it's somehow not surprising. 
I used LinkedIn strictly for job networking, and so they have my work history, but not much else, to go on, which prolly explains a lot.  I NEVER gave them my address book nor my Facebook friends list or any of that jive, so my 'real life' friends don't show up, and they don't have my personal email either; I made a new one strictly for business and job hunting.

I totally agree with the proprietor's cultural view there.  The 5-Point's motto is "Alcoholics serving alcoholics since 1929", and they are one of the best joints to grab an old-fashion plate of eggs and browns on a Tuesday morning when you can smell the rain is going to clear in a half hour or so.  That and they really do kick out scumbags, I've seen it. 
Good on them.  No complaints here.

Sounds very interesting, I've always wondered about other practical uses for clusters besides monstrous number-crunching, and your illustration of cards and 10-year olds is eminently descriptive.

Looks like a project has been started for Box (and others) synchronization.  No code yet, but looks promising:
http://www.syncany.org/

Also, nice article on keeping a davfs mounted folder and a local folder synchronized with unison:
http://seb.so/50gb-of-clo...ncd-on-linux-with-webdav/

Keeping it sync'd with cron is an OK idea, but I like the footnote of syncing when file changes happen.  Apparently, the two options mentioned there, FAM and Dnotify, are deprecated on some distros (re: Debian).  Dnotify has been replaced with Inotify in the kernel and a little research seems to show Incron to be the better option to interface with that (Gamin being a drop-in replacement for FAM but uses inotify):
http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/581

I tried to see if syncing could be done more 'properly' through the Box API, but you need to register your software with them to get an API key.  I'm not writing software, just seeing if some shell script magic could be done... 

Couldn't find anything in the Kansas laws against them, but then again, tl;dr:
http://kslegislature.org/...ute/008_000_0000_chapter/

I always thought those "suicide knobs" were illegal.  Something about moonshiners using them to do be able to do trick turns and evade the authorities.  The local after-market dealer had a box of them on the counter and a friend of mine asked about it.  The guy at the counter said "because you got a tractor... right?"  

Apparently, they aren't as illegal as some would have me believe, and are even required in some states if you have a disability.  See here:
http://www.suicideknob.net/state_laws.html

...Except in my home state of Washington, where it's a "possible violation"  

I would also add to the list one of these doodads that plug into the cigarette lighter and transmits whatever's plugged into it to your FM radio:

Cool. Going to test now...
In the meantime, relevant:

And yeah, cloud/web/SaaS/'subscription model' is all the rage in tech investment circles. And probably will remain so until the day some super-popular online/cloud product does a major crash and burn on its users. But until that happens, web is where it's at.

Yes, his humor was disquieting because it was so self-deprecating, but that was his whole schtick; summed up in his famous tagline "I don't get no respect".  It's funny because we all have some degree of insecurity, and in some smaller or larger way can then sympathize; thus it becomes cathartic to laugh at those small insecurities brought larger than reality via the guise of absurd theater.

... or something like that.

From the blog of Jim Bottomley comes a mostly complete step-by-step on pwning your own UEFI PC:

Bookmarked.  

some really lame, especially laptop, BIOSes turn NX-support off without offering you a way to enable it, even though the CPU is capable. One has to wonder, sometimes

My single-core 64-bit is nx-capable, but I can find NOWHERE in the BIOS how to enable it.  Wonder, indeed.

What the hell, is Webkit just that effbombing awesome that it really would be cheaper to re-tool around it than continue with Core when Core has had this many years to mature?  Really?  I mean, I use Chromium as my default browser now, because for the most part is just works and stays out of my way, but the rendering isn't THAT awesome, or am I missing something?

This one?

Agreed, losing your docs in a transfer and then having to ask your users if they'd be so kind as to commit a copy they may have into the tree; very facepalm.

I just tape a piece of paper on my tablet the same size as the working area.  Works great!

That is why originally recommended to use a tablet (computer) device. More specifically, a Windows 8 tablet.

Most tablets generally suck at precision, which is required when doing proofreading markups.  Don't know of any modern tablet computers that take pen input AND run Microsoft office.  Do the Surface tablets have pen input?

Cheap is not a realistic requirement, in the context you've drawn.

Sadly, I agree.  Most cheap digitizers sacrifice quite a lot on the lower-price side of things.  The best option IMHO, is  Wacom's Cintiq line, which is basically a pen-input second monitor with lots of very cool functionality. Unfortunately, it's like swatting a fly with a sledgehammer; more tool than is needed for the requested task.

1- You can pick up inexpensive digitizing tablets on eBay or Amazon.  Look for older models or the Bamboo line, not the Intuos or Cintiq ones.  Mine cost 20 USD IIRC, picked up on eBay.  Just make SURE if it's a used unit that it comes with the pen.  The pens are rather expensive to find replacements for.  Take your risks with 'off-brand' tablets from Monoprice or DigiPro; Wacom has been in this business for a long time and reading a few reviews will reveal the subtle flaws in other brand graphic tablets. (EDIT: this glowing review of the Monoprice 6.25" x 10" tablet may beg to differ: http://frenden.tumblr.com...raphics-tablet-that-could)

2- Admittedly, the lines aren't very good.  LibreOffice treats each line as a separate graphic element, and it likes to do some "smoothing" of squiggly lines and square corners.  No such thing as simply drawing on your document.  Microsoft Office might have better tools for graphic annotations, I don't know.  I only worked up the screenshot to show it can actually do the job you are looking for, and if you zoom into the page about 150% or so, you can get a little more exact. 

Like I said, just get a what-you-can-afford Wacom tablet, and see if Office lets you do graphic markups.  Here's a sample from Open/LibreOffice, done with my Wacom Graphire 3:

I just manually link and login as needed since I generally don't like to automount anything that resides on a server I don't own.

+1  

If you don't want to autosync but just want to use your Box account as a network mounted share, this will show you how to set Box up in any Linux based file manager that has a "Connect to Server" option.

Gigolo does this on Xfce, but it has dependencies on gvfs, which has caused problems for me with Thunar, and the only fix was uninstalling gvfs.   Apparently, thunar has been fixed, so I'll be trying again.
EDIT: mounting normally with 'mount -t davfs https://www.box.com/dav /home/edvard/Box' works fine, but Gigolo mounting with davs://www.box.com/dav results in 301...  
Maybe I'll just be content with manual mounting in a terminal, or whip up a shell script or maybe a GUI with Yad and call it good.

Haven't seen Old Boy, but that is the kind of movie I like.  My netflix free trial runs out in two weeks...
