I use Ultimate Ears Triple-Fi 10, which have apparently been replaced with the UE 900[1]. They have great isolation with Comply Foam and surprising quality for IEMs. The replaceable cord is also a great feature, so when it inevitably gets

At >$1 mil, you never have to worry about any of the basic fundamentals of survival pretty much ever again. To me, that's rich. Quibble about "what constitutes rich" all you want, it's not going to help the OP.

God, this board is strange sometimes. The very idea of having a million dollars and simultaneously complaining about not being rich enough is bizarre to me. But then, to the OP, I'm probably a crazy person (or worse, below some thr

My wife has dyscalculia[1]. She might take offense at the statement that "Bad at math" is a lie you tell yourself to make failure at math hurt less. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyscalculia

In a reasonable society with universal healthcare, misspending the universal income on things like booze could be treated as a health problem. As for how to feed people who fall into that trap, there might need to be some emergency income

The pseudo-Biblical writing style reminds me of The Book of Mozilla[1], perhaps the coolest browser easter egg in existence, which, sadly, Chrome decided not to implement. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Moz

Behind the polish on the screen is the power under the hood. Take the Phone app, which for most people hasn’t really changed since the days of flip phones. Now, we’re making calling easier than ever, by helping you search across your conta

I'm still convinced that triggering such a dead man's switch would be tantamount to destruction of evidence. Courts aren't stupid.

I think if the team decides that an idea is not currently worth pursuing, rejecting it and explaining why to an employee is not the same as ignoring it. If the employee then continues trying that idea, they're clearly not following di

I like the Logitech G400s, which is essentially a rebuild of the well-known MX 518, with the same form factor. Might be a little small for you if you have larger than average hands though. It fits my hands perfectly.

My understanding is that Sega v. Accolade[1] made it moot, so trademark infringement can no longer be claimed in such a manner (it's now considered fair use). [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_v._Accolade

The seal was basically the same as saying "this game is licensed by Nintendo." There were some games without the seal, but they were unauthorized and typically Nintendo sued them. You couldn't get a game on a standard Ninten

Experts Exchange was and is adversarial to its own users . Not Google, its own users. By charging for freely available content, they are making their own users suckers. That's enough to avoid using it, in my opinion.

I am a lawful permanent resident (i.e. green card holder). My SSN card doesn't have any endorsement; it appears exactly the same as a US Citizen's card. When I was on a nonimmigrant visa, it did have the endorsement "VALID
