Check out jumpcut too. It has a mode to pop up a bezel where you can keyboard your way through the various copy/paste buffers you've used. I use quicksilver, but I also run jumpcut just for its paste buffers.

Quite related, I think, is preterition: the act of mentioning something by saying you won't mention it. I seem to encounter it from computer/math people a lot, it's nice to have a name for the action.

To pick nits, the iPod touch lacks the camera and GPS. An unlocked iPhone is more expensive than a locked iPhone. None of that makes the grandparent post correct, but it does bear pointing out that your alternatives are either inferior or

There's the chrome adblock extension that is safari-enabled now too: https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/gighmmpiobklfepj... It doesn't look like there's a binary you can just install yet, but if you grab a (free) Safari Extension

I thought this was a clever way to get people to sign up for a google account if they didn't already have one for mail/voice/youtube/etc. The background was annoying, but if you wanted to change it, you had to create an account and use you

I prefer to think of it as having bugs you just don't know about yet. Does anyone use the app besides you?

For what it's worth, I found that the aesthetic of Aikido was typically appealing to people in the math/computer science fields. While I hold no strong opinions about its ability to make one a good fighter, I did think it was enjoyable, gr

"Ban the Debugger" was an unfortunate name for this post, because obviously debuggers are useful. Having worked in support, I always opened up a bug when log/console output was insufficient to pin down the problem a customer was having. T

I'd agree that "length of manual" is a poor heuristic for complexity. Condor is super-customizable, and they document those options pretty extensively. To the direct point, they've even started highlighting the use of condor as "condor cr

Ask yourself if you would be happy to mentor the new employee once they are hired. If you would not, don't recommend that they be hired, even if they are technically competent. Don't forget, saying "yes" to the hire means that you will be

When I was poking around to figure out what redbox's deal is, I found this link ( http://www.paylessforfood.com/tag/redbox-videos/ ) which suggests that almost the majority of grocery store purchases are impulse buys. I'm not suggesting th

I thought part of the value of RedBox was in driving store traffic. Maybe you'd go to the grocery store once a week to buy groceries, but if you're also grabbing $1/day videos from them, you'll come back sooner to return your video. And w

|What's next, the abolition of 44.1KHz audio? Actually, it's funny that you pose that question in this article. I think MP3s are a great example of "44.1KHz" audio that is not the fidelity of what you're probably thinking of, the CD-Audio
