Throwing circuit boards (with gold, palladium, silver, mercury in the circuit boards) in the trash is polluting your environment and water supply. Why not take them to a recycling location, like Office Depot (office supply store in the US), and for $5-$10, they will take a huge box of tech waste electronics and send it for processing to the proper channels--instead of a landfill?

The free website spamgourmet.com lets you set up dynamically-created email addresses, given a base address, and protects your REAL address.

Create an address on the fly, and control how many emails you receive before the address goes dead (or not). No longer care about filling out those web forms--if they sell your email address, so? After 1-20 emails it will die off (or not, your choice). Even allow only ONE specific company or domain to send to that specific address: if the original company you gave it to sells it, any other (spammer) companies' emails never get through.

For example, supplying address in format CompanyA.interview.somename@(insert one of a dozen domain aliases for spamgourmet.com here) creates the email address, and sets a default of between 1 and 20 emails to that address. Make it as easy or as sophisticated as you need.

I've given them small donations for years, as they've helped me avoid spam. Check 'em out.

We dropped cable years ago, in favor of a Roku settop box. One-time $80US purchase, and Netflix (which we already subscribed to) and Hulu+ (a few dollars a month). Adds up to maybe $15 more a month than Netflix DVDs-in-the-mail only. Without cable. Granted we are already paying $2/day for a 20Mbps Internet connection, but that's mostly paid for by a home business.

I'm using OpenOffice on a Mac & Ubuntu systems, as well as Pages on the Mac. Turning on Track Changes puts vertical change bars in the margins, and optional strikeout text for deletions, and highlighted text for additions. It quickly shows what changes you've done, with the original text still there. It isn't pretty again until you accept the changes, the document updates and goes back to looking normal.

My spouse collaborates via email to edit documents with multiple people, and that's the only way she keeps all the edits straight.
