In the winter (in MN), I usually wake up to my dog shocking us nose-to-nose while he checks if I'm still sleeping.

Strange, I just came back from a trip to Japan and didn't really notice this. In fact I was surprised at how packed the parks were with families in tents on the grass. Maybe it is just Tokyo, since I didn't visit any parks there b

I don't know about appliances, but the last few times I tried to repair a failed electronic device I found them to be un-repairable by design. It is so frustrating to know that all something likely needs is a small surface component, b

I never played Ultima Online, but I remember many stressful corpse runs in EverQuest. My favorite part was that only necromancers could use the locate corpse spell. This made for some interesting stories of befriending or hiring a necro, an

It appears Firefox has already moved on this. Came home today and was warned that Stylish was an unsafe extension, and I can no longer find it listed as an available add-on.

As someone who has struggled with social anxiety to varying degrees throughout life, online interactions are a bandage for the much larger issue. Communicating via text without the pressure of timing (generally) gives you the ability to thi

Yes! I really miss my 900's night mode button which would disable everything but the speedometer. I would call that "stealth mode" even though towards the end of its life it was one of the loudest cars on the road due to a ba

You won't get any argument from me. The large images and lack of useful text make sites seem like they are made for children. Another thing that you don't see as often anymore, that most Japanese sites have, is a site map.

I recently went to see A Perfect Circle who have instituted a no phones policy. It seemed to work pretty well, even without these phone lockers. I saw a handful of people escorted out by security. It was really great to have only the concer

No comment on the actual project. I hate how this site fills up my browser history as I scroll. This is a breaking of the back button I haven't encountered before.

Agreed. I work with many schools, and you may be surprised how many workstations with 4gb of RAM are still out there. When I first started at this company I scoffed and considered them edge cases, but now I know better.

I really appreciate that they take the time to add screenshots and animations to these posts. It combines a change log and demo in a very efficient way. A lot of software can learn from this.

We used Genki I back in high school, and recently I picked it up again. Now I'm through Genki II and can definitely recommend them. They were both updated a few years ago with more contemporary examples and really useful culture notes

If only time was the only thing lost by going through the system. The cost of college was the biggest reason why I personally did not go to school. The cost of not only having to pay back loans, but also the loss of 4+ years of savings and

Not to completely defend Windows, but I feel like everyone forgets that it also has a powerful, though verbose, shell available. This sort of thing is also trivial via Powershell: [Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("TestVariable&quo
