Minimal = ease of use and light. I see walkers/runners with them every day.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I do love it! The only issue is not being able to see a display when I'm skipping around but hey it was free.

I used to use a lot of LaCie drives, but in the past couple of years I've had bad luck with them. For production work I like the ones from Other World Computing. For quick drive purchases I've had decent luck picking up the cheap Western Digital My Book drive series. Costco often has them for a decent price.

I was doing a little research on the converter boxes for HDTV on an analog TV, and found this cool site: [link] They have a TV Signal Analysis section that is quite cool. You enter an address or coordinates, and it will tell you the direction of the television signals, and approximate signal strength of said signals. It confirmed my mothers apartment can't get any analog channels, but it looks good that she'll get some DTV ones. Now I need to pick up a converter box and find time to get down and visit her to set it up! Anyhow, thought I'd share a cool tool.

Anyone have a recommendation on a free site to send large files? I seem to remember sendspace, but any other recs?

I like Yousendit, even if they do require registration now.
I've also used MegaUpload, but their interface kind of makes my eyes bleed.

They're almost all ad-heavy and kind of clunky. How large is the file?

Anybody have a suggestion for a cordless phone that doesn't suck complete ass?
We bought a Uniden 5.8Ghz about a year ago, and from the moment we unboxed it, it's gotten crap, staticky signal, and most of the time, the sound is so quiet, it can be impossible to hear the other person. We frequently tell people to call us on our cell phones, but that's not always practical, so we're looking for a better cordless.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I gave up years ago, and just got a Really Long Cord for my regular phone.
