> some people in the US believe > I don't live in the US This strikes me as a really weird thing to casually drop in the middle of your argument. I would assert that if people from the US are over-represented on /r/jus

It's like code coverage, though. Zero might indicate a problem, but lots doesn't necessarily mean "good".

Used to be able to burn the package off with a torch and leave the chip somewhat unscathed. I hate to think of the chemicals I was exposing myself to when I did that as a kid, though.

This. Bluetooth is 24 years old, but it's still a crapshoot whether two brand new devices will talk to each other.

I'm in that minority too, I guess. There's nothing more grating than to explicitly close all tabs, only to be asked whether you want to open them again. For me, tabs are like this useless plaque that slowly accumulates and needs

I've seen those on Amazon, but it seems like they just sell the hub and brake disc. Are you supposed to DIY the rest of the wheel or is the average bike shop able to build it for you?

The hemoglobin molecule itself only has something like one iron atom per 1000 non-iron atoms.

Me too, except with Visual Basic 6. (It's a work thing.) Besides error handling, I think the gnarliest thing I've come across is this: VB has built in file management commands it inherited from GW-BASIC. Built in, in the sense t

I must be too dumb to use this feature, because everything I enter, including the examples from the page, gives me "No Results Found". (Seems like it works from the main page, though.)

IIRC, the main scenario for implicit remoting was where you were exposing a management interface for a service in no-language mode (i.e. the server will only run a whitelisted set of commands and no other scripting, for security) and any co

One benefit you get with powershell to powershell remoting is that the output of the commands come back as objects rather than text. You can even use "implicit remoting" (not sure if that's the marketing term) to make the re

Wow, I wish I'd read this thread a year or two ago. I'm in my early 40's, and I had a couple of panic attacks last year for the first time in my life. For the first one I was driving and had to pull over and walk around in

It's got about 20 houses on it, according to Google Maps. Compare that to McNeil Island about 3 miles northwest, which is about 4400 acres and only has an abandoned prison and a small facility for sexually violent predators.

He did crash into a populated island when there was a lot of water to choose from. Hard to tell if that was intentional or lack of skill though.

I think the right analogy would be that 400 people just barely avoided foreclosure because of a bug. It might have already happened and nobody heard about it because neither Wells Fargo nor the homeowners had any reason to publicize it. (

In a world with billions of such credentials, mostly in the hands of people who just know that it "makes their AOL work" it would probably be trivial to steal as many as a person wanted.

Passports aren't mandatory in the US so it's common for someone who doesn't travel internationally not to have one. When I went to Asia in the military in the 90s, that was the case for me, but they let me in and out based o

Can confirm. When I was a teenager you could find dumpsters full of perfectly good books other than that they had their front cover torn off.

I ran into a somewhat similar issue recently: Sometimes I work on a piece of software that classifies files based on their contents, and with so many file formats implemented as "just stuff it in a zip file" it ends up identifying

I inherited some piece of furniture - I don't recall what - that my wife's ex had attached a florescent lamp to. He used a telephone cord for the 120v power connection.
