Readership Contest
Ok, in an earlier post, I declared the opening sentence of this entry of The Huffington Post to be "the most pretentious opening line of a blog post, ever."
For those of you who need an refresher, that opening line was:
I just landed at Vail airport, right next to the Vice President’s Gulfstream jet...
This may well be the most pretentious opening line in the history of blogging. However, for those of you who are reading (if any), I invite you to find a more pretentious opening line of a blog post and post it in the comments (with link). As a reward, you get a mention on the front page and my overwhelming admiration. Plus the satisfaction of a job well done (what did you expect? I'm a grad student).

How to maximize your laptop battery?Well,do as follows.Condition the dell inspiron 1520 battery when u purchase it.Charge the dell inspiron 1525 battery to 100 percent,discharge the dell battery completely,and then fully charge dell gg386 battery to 100 percent again to help the dell laptop remember exactly how much electrical it can hold.From then on,you’ll never need to completely discharge the dell inspiron 6400 battery again,but always make sure when charging the dell inspiron 9400 battery that u let it reach 100 percent.Salinas had tip for your dell studio 1535 battery:keep them cool,don’t exposure the dell latitude d600 battery to the high temperatures. Pull up overload programs. Run only the programs u are using,the other programs in the background will drain your dell latitude d800 battery life. Don’t use any external devices. USB and PC-Cards use your dell latitude d620 battery to function, even when you aren’t using them! Power down the display “You can often yield up to ten minutes of hp dv4 battery life per level of brightness lowered,” said Salinas.The more you are doing at the same time with your PC, the more memory and CPU usage increases. Both of which directly use up hp pavilion dv2000 battery. Keep your HP tx1000 battery cool. You can take a page out of the extreme gamer’s handbooks, and have your system perform more optimally by keeping HP HSTNN-DB72 battery cool. Short discharges and recharges do not fully synchronize the IBM thinkpad x60 battery's fuel gauge with the battery's state-of-charge. This can result in the amount of power available in one cycle being less than expected or the Asus A32-A8 battery meter being inaccurate. 1. Turn off Wi-Fi and BlueTooth - Most acer aspire 5520 series battery have shortcut keys to instantly disable wireless networking. 2. Don't play computer games, music or DVD movies - Multimedia activities drain acer aspire one battery. 3. Adjust your screen brightness - Dimming your display saves acer aspire 5100 battery power. 4 If you do not use your laptop for extended periods of time (a week or more), remove the acer BATBL50L6 battery pack from the laptop. 5. Do not expose the apple A1280 battery to high heat or freezing temperatures. Do not leave your apple A1281 batteryin your car in the summer. Hot Sony BPS8 battery discharge very quickly, and cold ones can't create as much power. 6. Fully charge new Sony BPS9 battery packs before use. New pack needs to be fully charged and discharged (cycled) a few times before it can condition to full capacity. 7. For laptops that work as Desktop Replacement, the Toshiba PA3534U-1BAS battery should be re -installed every 3-4 weeks and allowed to fully discharge. 8. Leaving the Gateway Nv52 battery in a laptop while using an electrical outlet for long periods of time will keep the battery in a constant state of charging up and that will reduce the life cycle of the battery.
