Library extension. Go to as page selling a book (Amazon, Powell's, etc.) and the extension will show you if you're local library has the book, how many copies, and if they're available for checkout. You can then click through and put a hold on the book.

Great cure for impulse buying of books. I've read more and bought less since using it.

My Berkey water filtration system. I got the travel size (1.5 gal). It's efficient enough to filter out food coloring, the water is a perfect pH 7, the water doesn't irritate my mouth sores like tap or bottled water (looking at you, Aquafina!) and the water just tastes better. Plus the filters are rated for 6,000 gallons. I'm better hydrated than I ever was.

I used to hate raw tomatoes too until I followed Alton Brown's advice: only buy tomatoes in season and then only from road-side stands.

Turns out, he was right and I love tomatoes! AndI never buy any from the grocery store.

Use it for what, other than updating installed IDEs?

Woman got special government permission to go motorcycling in Chernobyl. She took pictures.

The site is still around.

I’m all for privacy, but the argument I have nothing to hide ... is hard to argue with, when it comes to the average person, because the truth is that they don’t matter and most likely no-one cares about their specific data.

In that case, please post your real name, tax id (SSN in the States) and annual household income.

N.B. None of this information is private.
