"Aaron Hall: "If you cut out the T-shirts and interpreters, you would break even." This comment shows that he thinks the interpreters weren't necessary at the event. This was a sign that he believes that the request for interpreters wasn't important and should have been declined."

"It can be this or that percentage. The main point of my comment is that it will cost X amount of dollars and not infinity as stated in the article."
- Jared Evans
"I would like to point out that the infinity cost argument is flawed. You only need $650 continuous compounding at 5% yearly to generate enough money to cover the Zune Pass costs indefinitely."

"I believe you are supposed to return the Actiontec router to Verizon when you are terminate your contract with them. Time Warner should have given you a cable modem. Turn off Actiontec and do a hard reset on TW modem. Turn TW modem on, wait a bit, then plug Actiontec WAN port (white port on the back) to the cable modem. Make sure Actiontec itself is set to attempt to DHCP an address from TW and also is acting as a DHCP server for your wireless devices."

"We all have known that Netflix has not been moving on subtitles for a long time now even after many of us have bothering them about it and they keep saying, "it's coming soon someday..." But to see such an clear-cut message directly from CEO himself saying that it's not important and not one of their priorities totally takes the cake and boils my blood. It's clear they lied to us and have no plans at all to tackle this issue of inaccessiblity. Two years is more than enough time to include the subtitling into their workflow when adding movies to their "Watch Now" feature."

"Yes, it works fine on openSuse 11.1 desktop (which is what I use at work). Don't forget to su and chmod u+x the bin file before running it. I'm not sure about your display problem but this may fix it: From your regular user login (not root): export DISPLAY=:0.0 then you can su and run the bin file."

"Unfortunately, when I arrived at the Mall, it was a complete blackout on the Sprint cellphone network. I could not send any updates from the field. My BB quickly ran out of juice due to the cold weather and trying repeatedly to get back on the network. There were just too many people in the area."

Everyone seems to say Google Notebook closing is a benefit to Evernote. Having never used Google Notebook and being a complete n00b as far as Evernote is concerned, I find this curious.
They have some similar capabilities (though Evernote is more powerful) and I think Evernote is offering to import all your Google Notebook data. Evernote is a super cool app ...

I'm still trying to figure out what to do with it. I KNOW it's awesome, I just don't know how it can be awesome for ME :)

Just signed up...we shall see how it goes...

Google Notebook was a pain to use, unlike Evernote
- Jared Evans
I also find this curious, because I don't use a notebook thingy. Perhaps I should?
- Kelly
I used Google Notebook for awhile and then fell off. I've been using Evernote more often as sort of a virtually drive.
- jbrotherlove
I'm a huge fan of Evernote. Every idea I get goes there, everything digital that is important to me that's smaller than 25MB goes there. I love it!
- Internet's Tad
There should be a site with specific use-cases (screencasts preferable) of evernote. They have videos, but I don't need to know how to use it, I need to know how to USE it.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
i'm with you, Rahsheen -- I know Evernote is supposed to be amazing, but I haven't really caught on yet. I find the web clipper extension in Firefox doesn't work well if you have NoScript running because it seems to treat everything you do as a potential XSS attack. I actually used to use Google Notebook all the time, again with the FF extension, and I thought it was easy and very effective.
- Nathan Rein
As Tad mentioned, it's a great place to hold ideas, and notes of all sorts of course. It's got powerful character recognition so it's also a great store for images with words (a search for a word will find the image containing it etc). I like the whole 'second brain' analogy with it - shove tons of stuff in there that I don't want to forget ...
- Patrick Jordan
With Evernote, you can clip part of a or a whole web page and place it into a specific notebook (by topic or however you work), and apply tags to it - so you're ahead of bookmarks organization-wise already ...
- Patrick Jordan
Hrm, I guess having an actual visual for the bookmark is a plus, but bookmarks have tags as well. Guess I just need to send some time figuring out what holes it could fill for me.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
@Rah, I don't use Evernote for bookmarking. I use it for things I can't (or don't want to) bookmark but want to be able to acess from anywhere. things like notes, images, code snippets, audio, client information, etc.
- jbrotherlove
Yeah, guess it depends a lot on how you like doing things. I was a big user of notebooks before I went all PDA / smartphone / laptop and all that jazz - so the notebook concept suits me - and I love its iPhone app as well :)
- Patrick Jordan
Its use to me comes from wanting to bookmark elements of a page, rather than the whole thing. I use Evernote on my iPhone at the store to shop for recipes that I've put into it. I clip elements from different video game strategy guides and refers to them on one page (rather than consult different bookmarks).

Quick! Sign up for Google Notebook before it's too late! (Or get someone to sell you a Google Account) ;)

Out of interest, how does NoScript cope with Facebook Connect's "cross-site connectivity" scripts?
- Tyson Key
@Tyson -- not real well, in my experience. Sometimes it totally fails, sometimes it needs a few "Unsafe Reloads" to work, and sometimes it goes smoothly. But so far, I've had the first outcome most often.

"I don't think there are enough volunteers out there to do this. It is *NOT* easy to translate ASL into English. It's nothing like transcribing Spoken English into Written English with one-to-one relationship between the sounds/words. ASL -> English is a separate language into another different language and requires more mental processing. I challenge you to translate 5 minutes ASL vlog into subtitles. You will be very surprised at how much time it'll take you to translate the vlog, even if it's only 5 minutes long. You'll have more respect for under-appreciated sign language interpreters once you realize how difficult their jobs really are. :-)"
