1) Perhaps is because of what we are used to, but I read much better with page turn than with page down. I read a book in the computer, and I read it scrolling down. It didn't feel fulfilling. It was like reading a web-page. But having read

Great book, it's a shame it doesn't have sequels... P.D. Yes, it has sequels, written by a different author with a focus that seems the opposite than the one on the first book. Not recommended.

>Steam has it's own usability issues though. For example it won't let me play a game and download a game at the same time. You can do it manually. Activate the game to play, alt-tab to Steam. Library, view the downloads. The download wi

For me it depends. On programming searches DDG goes better for me (than Google) because it uses the English data. Google insists on using Spanish data even though I disallow results in other languages than English or Catalan. For other sear

With friends we do the same when we meet to LAN play. We copy the games into a USB stick and pass it around. It's waaaaay quicker than downloading from steam , and quicker than copying through the local net. If you know the right folder y

Even if it's "bigger" than just placing the [turn right] it's faster if you do a: if not wall right then turn right instead.

And it's already corrected in there: >One way we save energy is by keeping the temperature on our server floors at a warm 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Either that or I'm seeing a different one.

Not for me. For me that's a brand new old car. Yes, it has all the parts of the old car, and only those pieces, but it was assembled anew from zero. A more difficult dichotomy would be: what if we exchange parts between two cars until each

You have an old car, and you want to renew it. If you buy it brand new and toss the old one, you are destroying the old one. If you keep changing pieces of it, testing them to see they work, and keep going until you have replaced the whole

I too thought about their car technologies, but to me it doesn't mean drive like a floppy disk drive, it means drive as in hard disk drive (HDD). Google Storage would have been a more descriptive name, but it'll be a while until we get rid

Could be useful IN a startup, but not AS a startup. AFAIK YCombinator is for creating startups, not for letting outside people be a part of one. You want to prove your will? Ask your neighbours, parents, friends, people you find in the stre

It's been in Steam for years, I bought it long ago. And while it's a great game I don't think this brings anything to the discussion (at least unless you elaborate).

"page 867" means nothing, but so does scrolling down for half an hour. And the first one is faster.

You pay for designs, not for the final product. It's not different than buying programs for your computer. Of course at the beginning the products will be sold assembled from shops with 3D machines for rent.

Timezones are not an ugly hack. When you travel to a different timezones you just have to adjust your clock and, without asking, you know that shops open at 8~10am until 4~8pm with or without a midday stop for lunch (12~3). You have dinner

No, I don't think so. I love what I do (my hobby - swing dancing). I do it for 3-5 hours a day (after work). I would improve much faster if I danced less, spent most of the time doing hard work (cleaning my moves, learning more moves, more

It depends. A shooter? Yeah, piece of cake. An RPG? Sorry, but depending on the country no that many people could understand it well enough to follow the story. TV Series do get around the moment they get on a torrent site, but many many pe

Or it could also be that people that were eating less salt where the ones that had a history of heart problems (their own or their parents) so it had nothing to do with the sodium intake.

Kudos to him. Only 1 year and 5 months to reach 2000 hours! I'm impressed. I began dancing Lindy Hop on 31st August 2009 and have been counting my hours (swing classes and dancing, not just lindy but also related styles) and I am not yet at

They could add google groups to the google+ environment. Create a minecraft group with only the manager being able to post there but that anyone can see and you have what he wants. Create a minecraft group with open/moderated subscribership

Sometimes you discover things you love "late" in your life. I always have loved dancing, but only did that in discos and partying, taking no classes. Then I started going to some classes (bollywood dancing) in 2008. That wasn't it yet. Sept

And when entering the subway if there's a crowd to enter at your door let them enter first or go to another. I saw someone getting pickpocketed this way in Barcelona, and a friend was pickpocketed like this in London.

This has bothered me from time to time for a long time too. It usually affects me most when I get to make other people do things I though they would not do for me. I've got no cure or definite answer for it. On the other hand I felt the sam

Quite inflated still, it'll be a long time until they go down or a longer time until wages catch up (in the opinion of some, me included). The problem here is that you cannot return the house to the bank and be debt free. If you give your h

I have not understood most of it (economics is not my strength and I've got a cold or a flu that gives me a headache) so I'll have to ask. Could the divergence (or some of it) be explained by the off the books economy that is quite strong h

I complain because it has changed, while I was typing, one or more of the words I typed, resulting in a loss of time, having to go back to those (now) wrong words and replacing them with the right ones. I tend to know better than Google Ins

My bad, 7D roguelike, or making a rogue-like game in 7 days. Still too sleep deprived after two weeks of dance classes + parties and coming back to work. Three coffees a day are the bare minimum.

Totally agree on the abandoning of goals (and the rest of your comment is also gold). People here tend to be too goal oriented, and that's perfect when you have a goal that you want to attain in an area that you love working. But the truth
