The "Choose another stance" option is important. The default answers are simple so that people who have little investment in the quiz can quickly get through it and maybe compare results with the candidates. If you actually care about your

My Chrome location bar autocompletes my bookmarks just fine. It usually only takes a few characters for the bookmark to be the top result, and I can tell it's the bookmark since I changed the label.

I haven't played Minecraft in a while so things may have changed, but I recall that animals would only spawn on grass. If you wanted pet wolves or animal products, you'd need grass to spawn them on. And if someone repeatedly raids your fiel

Since everyone was always online at the same time, it would also be easy-ish to defend the island if anyone tried to build a pillar to reach it. A bow and convenient sniping platforms could knock attackers down. Lava-based murder holes in t

For some reason I'm really bothered by the fact that it's locked to Fahrenheit if you're in the US. At least give me a query parameter or something.

But which Paris? Paris, France? Paris, Texas? Paris Hilton? There are a lot of things named Paris. Who gets to decide? Few cities have unique names, so it's better to be specific. There's already a http://www.paris.fr , and US states have

I do not have cable or satellite. When I want to see something, I check Amazon, Hulu, or similar places. If I can't find anyone willing to take my money in exchange for a stream, I then consider alternatives that do not involve making contr

The larva has to burrow into the bloodstream to begin with. Maybe it just waits until it gets stuck somewhere, and then burrows into the surrounding tissue?

Suppose that someone is able to buy up enough of your stock to essentially own your company, and they notice that the cost of doing so is less than the value of all of the things your company owns. Someone could make a profit by buying your

There's already Internet2. It's mostly for academics. My university is a member, so file transfers with some other universities will go REALLY fast.

I don't know about eventlet, but gevent appears to be working in pypy (for some trivial example code from the gevent page). Have you tried your application since greenlet got built-in to pypy stable?

True enough, but for work within your company these conditions are likely already met. And while your company could easily have an internal central repository server (we use RhodeCode in our lab), not everyone might want to (or have permiss

For reasons unknown to me, the local property oligopoly accepts debit/credit rent payments only through an outsourced web service which charges $50 per payment. Perhaps they've convinced the property owners that they have a patent on paying

Doesn't have to be ads. Suppose you run a restaurant. When someone asks their phone about restaurants nearby, how much would you pay to have your restaurant preferentially mentioned before other restaurants? How much would you pay to get ac

I did a little mining while it was profitable, but running the air conditioning to keep the GPUs from melting cannibalized most of it during the summer. I'll have to check back once things cool down a bit more - perhaps a drop in difficulty

I recall at one point that AOL would do this - I guess enough clueless people tried putting a mailing address into the "To" box that they decided to just go with it instead of dealing with one more class of bizarre support call.

Usually the symbols involved are used by SQL or some other layer, and the programmers insert the password directly into the query string because they don't know any better. This leads to SQL injection and other issues. So rather than discov

This is why, for my lab's password changer, the requirement for short passwords is simply that it must have one upper, one lower, one digit, and one none-of-the-above (and be at least 8 characters). If you have a long password (at least 16

The old standard file permission system is the default on most unixy systems because it's easy to use and understand (more or less). That doesn't mean these systems don't have ACLs. http://linux.die.net/man/5/acl

The antimatter being produced is just positrons. They're fairly easy to make: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positron#Production Making and storing entire antimatter atoms is the difficult part.
