Blah, it's just a number. Every major publication has errors like this all the time. Every book ever published is rife with typos. It's not like they wrote an entirely nonsensical number like 1634. 1995 and 1955 are very easy to mistyp

This is well written, and the biggest takeaway is probably the content precedes design line, which I think is pretty key. On a side note, noticing that this is .ie, I can't help but try to read the article in my head with an Irish accent.

Curious what kind of camping you've done -- I used to think I would hate it, but if you do it right it can be a pretty amazing experience.

Computers I can't see and don't own. Suspiciously similar to a botnet. Actually I'm less paranoid about it than that, but only slightly.

I listen to Pandora a lot and I've only hit the 40 hour limit twice, in which case you can also just pay 99 cents. So it's anywhere from $0 to $12 per year, $36 is to get rid of the ads (which aren't too obnoxious either).
