  - by The Journeyman geek

  I'm a dyslexic and i generally use arial for most things, since its probably the most readable font for me.

  - by The Journeyman geek

  My dad mentioned a co-worker suggested using a device, that might use cdma to route calls through IP to save costs on a certain overseas project we're on- since our home base is quite far from there.

  My mom's sings and gives away cds to people. Invariably it falls to me to have to burn cds for her, and burning 50-100 cds on a single drive is a pain.

I may not want to take a complete screenshot, and while I can use PrtSc and switch back into desktop to paste it, this is clunky if…
