There is actually a local chain in Southern California called Bruxie that sells waffles after failing to impress high-end restaurants with their product. It is very popular and placed strategically around hip places, e.g. colleges. I was ti

What is odd to me is that it used to work pefectly fine. Around two or three years ago, however, I believe the changed the way their login system worked and it suddenly had trouble keeping more than one account logged in. I was super happy

This seems like a slightly more technical version of https://ninite.com/ ... Most users just want to grab their usual suspects of 5-15 apps on a fresh machine and GO! I want to use Boxstarter to build a VM template but I&#x

Same. It punches through to an account with licensing on it. Specific VS licensing, too, as our MSDN account doesn't offer anything other than the installer unless we opt to buy seats.

So much of human interaction is made difficult by our lack of understanding one another. I love these silly little fantasy worlds that we busy ourselves with, hell even television shows, because it gives people something else to share in co

As with Skype, I wait for the day when another Facebook competitor becomes ubiquitous enough to warrant switching. I am waiting for pretty much anything, so long as it has the market share with friends and family.

I sat through 20 minutes of a co-worker directly comparing these two items the other day. As different as they are, people look to both company's offerings like they're competing neck and neck.

It is frightening, but I wonder about the previous generations. A hundred years ago, how did an individual self-medicate their problems? Was there more crime, suicide, etc. as a result? People don't usually "change" all that

I want to like FlickR so much. I've been a premium member for years but their upload client for more than a few photos at a time is garbage. I also don't like how crude their online organization options are. I know with a bit of p

In addition, I think that they are definitely going to be a billion-dollar company and will probably be very popular in South Africa where they have roots, but to ask why people don't know or care about them as much as Amazon, to name

Eerily similar to a family member's journey, though without the gardening bit (just yet!), so I am glad you shared this. Self medication isn't always bad, but there's certainly a lot less data to work with in trying to find o

I do sort of feel as though this was a "fish in the barrel" target that people are feeling good about. Yes, everything small matters in large numbers, but I don't think this is really much to show in terms of LGBT rights prog

Huh. I fail to see how that has to do with this character at all but thank you for the information; I really didn't think Mozilla acted as a pseudo-EFF.

Ah, what a joke. I recall someone not putting it on their timesheet and instead going directly to the Department of Labor. Good on them, I say. I've got a vested interested in the company doing well, but that was a ridiculous policy.

Unfortunately, there isn't a person asking those questions. More often than not, officers watch out for each other (read: The Blue Code of Silence) and internal investigations are notoriously a joke. I'd love to see someone not af
