Sorry if I sound like an ass-hat but how do I know you aren't collecting email addresses simply for selling to a spammer? There is nothing on your site that explains what your product does. Heck, there isn't even the standard disc

Sorry for hijacking this comment thread but I'd like to share a few of my personal experiences in this process. --------------- As a high-school student, I remember my entire school participated in the early years of this drive. I reme

Not sure if this is the one you are talking about, but a cursory image search on Google led me to this image in a Flickr set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrbee2828/92718344/ I don't see the '@&#x27

You won the first bet. Why not quit while you are ahead? ;) Also, if you are betting with yourself, doesn't it mean that you lose when you win?

Security risk. Somewhat similar to the reason you don't keep all your money in one financial institution. Imagine what would happen if you served/consumed everything with credentials from only one SSO provider and that SSO provide

There's a somewhat similar app I used to use called OpenSignalMaps [1] - except it would tell you the signal strength of your own network in your area. I always wondered why OSigM weren't using the data available to them to constr

I hope people don't go touting this as a wonder drug immediately. Please also read the "Adverse Effects"[1] section on the Wikipedia page for Valproic acid. Someone very dear to me was administered Valproate for her epilepsy

Yup. That's the response, I usually get. This is where I would normally lay out the gist of my problem, e.g. "If you aren't too busy, I need help with zipping files on the client side, is there a JS library (or anything) that

I see what you mean, but, personally, I'd much rather have the recipient ignore me than get yanked out of 'the zone' with my query that may or may not be up their alley. It is not so much pleasantries as a super-short 'S

The contacts on my realtime communication media are all close people - the kind that won't hesitate to ignore my interruption if they are really truly busy. Also, I use the Hindi word "Sunn..." which means the same as (but is

Thanks. I realized a few years ago that that was the question I would have asked myself, if I were to interrupt myself when I was in the middle of doing something important. It has served me well ever since... :)

I loved Aardvark. :( Best of all, it had a really good matching algorithm and would almost always get me a good 'connection'. The moment Google bought Aardvark, I knew that that was its death-knell. As for your food questions, a f

All my realtime 'pings' (phone/text/im) inevitably start with some form of the question: "Hi, how busy are you?" IMHO, this is a sneaky way to get the person to be honest about their immediate availability. By

The second paper in the post should never have made it past any peer-reviewer had they bothered to read the first two paragraphs. It all stems from the (supposedly optional) requirement that a Masters' level student get a paper publish

The second paper references the Sokal Affair, as a matter of fact - the authors of the paper are from the (obviously fake) "Sokal Institute of Technology, Pune". :) In fact, it references verbatim dialogues from "My Cousin Vi

Hmm, I'm kinda conflicted about this. On the one hand, it is a hop, skip and a jump away to "watch relevant ads for 'real' money" type of campaigns - and it won't be long before a click-fraud equivalent for vid

I am lazy when it comes to reading feeds. Even with GReader, my inbox used to pile up like crazy. So, I wrote @updt_me[0] get feed updates delivered via DM to my twitter inbox. These days, I usually read the feed updates as soon as they com

Question for current ST3 users: how stable is this ST3 beta as compared to ST2? I tried an early beta and it crashed horribly in the middle of a code-marathon, lost me a few crucial bits of code. Switched back immediately to ST2. Is it safe

IMHO, the Pirate Bay has already served the primary purpose for which it was created - spreading the word. Whether or not TPB continues to exist in the future, whether it is forced to recede into the deep web with a .onion address, it has a

This seems to be the best explanation so far. Having said that, I am still wondering why I had no location history even if the enable radio button was selected. Still, no harm no foul, I guess? Another thing worth noting is that the dropdow

Hmm, I got the same message on the dashboard but I can swear that the Enabled radio button was selected when I visited the settings. No harm, no foul, I guess?

Hmm, apologies. I somehow forgot to scroll down and did not realize that there was (a lot) more below the scroll. The dad seems calm and collected. The officer seems to be pissed at the fact that his authority is being questioned (supersede

I double-checked the URL to see if it was from the Onion and wasn't sure if I should be surprised or worried that it wasn't. I get the feeling that there's more to the story - probably the dad created a fuss, probably he was

Wait, USPS is a privately owned entity? If not, aren't products of government entities public by default? Therefore, any proprietary information is owned by the public, isn't it? Or did I completely misunderstand the whole thing?

I know what I'm hunting for the next time I am at the bookstore! Not much of a graphic novel reader but this one certainly deserves a read... Thanks for the suggestions! :-)

1. sounds extremely interesting for a short-story. Maybe, 8vll try my hand at it one of these days... 2. sounds hilarious and difficult, especially given that I am not all that well-versed in Biblical mythology. Maybe with Indian mythology.

I just wrote that seed for the OP. My NaNoWriMo concept is a time-travel fantasy that I am struggling to flesh out. Now that you mention it, I wonder if I should ditch my current concept altogether and try this one out instead. Very tempted
