    Expresscard in Haiti... a little confused

    So I'm going to be making a trip to Haiti in a couple weeks, and I don't know how consistent the connection that I'm going to be able to access is going to be. I figure I'm going to need something like an aircard, or an express card, or a data card, but I don't really know which one would be...

    Interesting Word 2003 problem...

    So I'm at work. I receive this document from an unknown source, having gone through God only knows how many hands before it gets to me. Par for the course, right? They sent it to us because "the formatting was corrupted." Normally, this just means that they don't know what styles are, but...

    Anybody know anything about voiceover work?

    I've had enough people tell me that I should think about "getting into radio" or "doing voiceover work" that I figured I'd ask around and see if anyone knew about it. If anyone has any hints, knows who to contact, etc., it'd be appreciated. I'm in Maryland, if that's worth anything. Thanks...

    Does Google Reader just delete entries after a while?

    Well? Does it? I get the impression that it does, but the searching only shows how to delete feeds, which is... not what I'm talking about. At all.

    Quick question about Google Docs...

    Does Google Reader automatically delete entries after a certain amount of time? I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like some things are getting erased on their own. I did some searching, and it seems like everything I'm seeing has to do with automating the deletion of entries/feeds; I'm...

    Can anybody access www.meebo.com...

    I don't think my job blocks anything, but the site went down all at once. Can anyone else access Meebo? Thanks in advance.

    What the deuce is "surrender of defendant"?

    I was at the barber today, and one of the guys there threw the term around as some super-duper secret magical way to get out of trouble if you're ever arrested. I automatically called bullshit, because... well, it just sounded asinine. Sue me. He told me to hit the internets and look into it...

    Do you "invest" in people in the service industry?

    I've noticed that, if I enjoy going to a place and know what day I'll tend to go, I end up making sure that I chat up the bartender/waitress/whomever, find out their name, leave a nice tip, things of that nature. Anybody else do it and receive perks?

    T-Bills?

    First off: yeah, I hit Google. Yeah, I hit Wikipedia. I feel like I've got a vague understanding of what's going on with this situation. However, as everyone knows, ATOT is full of the smartest people to the internet. You've all got Ph.Ds in every subject that you can get a Ph.D in. So I turn...

    Looking for a solid RSS Reader for my USB key

    So I've got a Cruzer Micro (2GB with the U3 launchpad), and I've been looking for an RSS reader since I finally realized that Google Reader can add items hours after they've actually featured on the website. Unfortunately, I've been having a hell of a time finding a reader that claims to be...

    A question about creating an Excel 2003 chart...

    So me and my buddy started exercising. We've got dates, exercises done, amount of weight, number of sets, and number of reps. Is there a way to get the exercise, weight, sets, and reps all on one chart? If not, what would be an ideal way to get as much of that information onto as few charts...

    Looking for a case, have a couple requirements...

    - The case needs to be relatively light. I'll be carrying it around every so often (particularly once the summer kicks in), and I'd just as soon not throw my back out. - No. lights. - No side window. The wiring job isn't going to be impressive in there, so there's not going to be anything...

    Best commercially available non-prescription cough suppressant?

    Srsly. If you know about the extra good, can only get it on the second Tuesday of every other month during a leap year... I need it. I'm about to cough up a lung, and I'd probably go for a temporary tracheotomy if somebody told me it would help. Thanks in advance, as always.

    Zach Thomas to the Patriots?

    - http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3245927 - He could retire unless he goes to a contender - The Patriots are contenders - Bill Belichick has a hard on for older LBs who know the game What do you think? Possible? Plausible? Unlikely?

    Was "Hit Em Up" by 2Pac the coldest diss song ever written?

    The inevitable "rap = crap," "rap != music," and similar posts notwithstanding... is that not the most vicious diss song ever written? If you don't think it is, what would you pick? For those who haven't heard it (and would care to), here's some linkage and here are the lyrics.

    What the hell's this show called?

    Let me apologize ahead of time for the shitty clues I'm going to give, but it's all I've got. For what it's worth, I'm not even sure that the show's still on anymore. The premise, as far as I could tell in approx. 3 minutes of watching, was that this was some sort of game show where they...

    Good basic point-n-shoot for a newbie?

    I'm not looking for anything amazing; my mom just wants to get a new camera. I figured I'd ask the AT geniuses if they had anything they recommended. I'm looking in the $150-$250 range. Thanks in advance, as always. Obviously, extra features would be groovy, but I don't want something...

    I got a paper cut on my splinter wound.

    I get a nice sized splinter (just under half an inch; yes, I measured it) in my middle finger. I can't get it through the hole it went in, so I had to come at it from the top. That was yesterday. Today, I'm opening a pack of paper and get a lovely slice right there. First of all, whose idea...

    Anybody ever heard of Leadership Team Development?

    I'd just do a Google run, but I'm going to be away from a PC for a couple hours and figured that somebody in the ATOT community would have some details about it for me when I got back (because you're all so awesome!). A guy ran the spiel by me, and it sounds like you set up an online store...

    What random little quirks do you have?

    I was just reading something while grabbing my shoes to put them on. I reached for a show, look down at it, and it's my right shoe. So I immediately put it down to grab my left shoe. Then it hit me: I always put on my left shoe first. :Q What completely arbitrary quirks do you have that...

    Anybody know where I can find this picture?

    I saw it in today's Express (free newspaper offered to people who ride the Metro in the greater Washington area if you don't know what it is). It was on the front, and it basically looks like Barack is holding up a drunken John Kerry. I've been searching Google Images like mad, and I haven't...

    What's your most extreme example of Wikipedia Wanderlust??

    There's probably another term for it that I'm not aware of, but Wikipedia Wanderlust is what occurs when you go looking for some very specific thing about the Middle Ages, but end up reading about Cats (the musical, not the animals) through some obscure series of hyperlinks. So what's your...

    Going to a gun range for the first time...

    So like the title says, I plan on going to a gun range for the first time in the next month or so. I also figured it'd be a good idea to at least have some sort of vague idea about what I want to shoot instead of just strolling in with a fistful of money and saying, "I want to shoot the shit out...

    Weight vests, ankle weights, wrist weights...

    I just started today with the idea of wearing ankle weights all day, when some random page on the intertubes so it was a bad idea due to repetitive stress injuries, joint strain, etc. So I figured I'd post a couple questions to the ATOT community: - Is it a bad idea to use ankle/wrist...

    A couple questions to the people who think BMWs are overrated...

    Why do you think BMWs are overrated? Please note that "all the people who drive BMWs are assholes" has nothing to do with proving why the car is overrated. What cars do you think compare favorably with the BMW? Why? Where do you find these other cars to be superior to BMWs? Also, (probably...

    Gun ranges in Maryland?

    Yeah, I know I could've just searched the Google. But if there's one thing I've learned, it's that there's more knowledgeable gun nuts on ATOT than anywhere else I venture through the tubes. That said, I'm in Silver Spring/Adelphi area, not too far from the D.C. line. If any of you all could...

    Boxing gyms in the Silver Spring, MD area...

    Yeah, I'm interested in finding a boxing gym, trying it out for a little while and seeing if I like it. I'm looking for a workout that has an additional dimension to it; just lifting weights for its own sake doesn't motivate, but I think that actually doing something will help more. Thanks in...
