Sure, me too. However, using the incorrect abbreviation (and thereby referencing incorrect timestamps) is certainly not going to have any positive effects on the situation.

It's a huge pet peeve of mine when people use EST when we're in daylight savings time. This, presumably, should be 12:23 EDT. Also, it's not back up.

A great idea, but do you think pulling out one of these is going to put the mind of the TSA agent who wants to examine your phone at ease?

For even more convenience, use this script that automatically installs specific versions of IE VMs from the command line: https://github.com/xdissent/ievms

Would be nice if there were some way to thumbs down/always ignore particular artists. Chris Brown, for example.

I spend a lot of time with my wife's older relatives, and I have picked up quite a bit of it. The most confusing to me is the positive usage of the word 'anymore', e.g., "It seems I always wear these shoes anymore."

How foolish of me. I ought not to have even brought it up.

This is the main reason my wife and I moved from NYC to Pittsburgh. The people I know who still live in NYC end up spending much of their salary hiring people to watch their kids, and then there's the competitive nature of getting kids

I found Tamarind to be pretty bland, but I'll keep exploring! :)

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll definitely check it out!

As a software engineer, and recent Pittsburgh transplant coming from NYC, I think it's ok here. The only part that's hitting me pretty hard is food... it's pretty much incomparable. I have been trying to find decent Indian

You don't think you would, but there were a whole lot of people saying that about the keyboards on their Blackberries 5 years ago as well.

Oh. That's weird UX. They put these little play buttons next to everything and don't tell you that you need to sign up/login first.

Scala doesn't have a metric ton of problems. It has some problems, sure, but it has a lot of nice features as well.

This is truly puzzling. If you spend that much time on logo design, you ought to at least devote some effort to ensuring that it doesn't look pixelated across a smattering of typical displays.

The technical reason could be that the viewport was centered around Manhattan :)

I think there are a lot of usability problems with the start and end fields. I entered "57th and Broadway" into the start and saw the following results: * Broadway & 57th Street, Woodside, NY Broadway & 57th Street

No, but there are equally good free alternatives. I wanted to read about this so I came to the comments, found a link to the USA Today article, and read that instead.

The main text says "Drag & drop anything anywhere," so naturally I selected some text on the site and tried to drag it around. Nothing happened.

Nice idea, but I immediately got a frozen app when trying to update formulae: http://i.imgur.com/3XDi0NA.png EDIT: On further inspection, it did not only freeze... it broke a lot of my formulae. I'd be very wary of usi

It was a terrible idea to hide the most interesting part of the graphic behind the title like that.
