It really looks like the cyclist is a tester. I agree, most cyclist don't signal at all, sometimes they will just subtly point with their finger. Not the best idea to rely on the cyclist's signals.

Snow Leopard is still the best OS X I know (now being on Mountain Lion), it was fast and efficient. It still works wonders on the old Core 2 Duo and I wouldn't upgrade any of the older machines I have.

A quick Googling reveals that some people do use algobot to talk about HFT software. I guess it's a dumbed down idea to sell to the masses.

Ohh I have a few questions for you : What did you do in CA ? What was your salary and how would it compare in France ?

3 points for "€100k or more" already sounds like bullshit to me at this time. Either that or I would love to hear what you do !

Man I'm in the same boat, I'm renting a house and it can be such a pain in the ass sometimes. It's a good anxiety enhancer for me ;-) Loads of work to make the property a good rental and then it's also loads of work to g

So what can you do ? You can't fight the private key retrieval right ?

Yeah I'm stuck on os 10.6 because really nothing entices me in the next versions. I really wonder sometimes if Apple is not slowly dropping OS X in favor of iOS.

This is big news, Pogue was/is one of the most important tech writer in my own opinion. He has a good approach of dumbing down tech products for the average joe despite beeing very knowledgeable. I guess it is showing a shift from Yaho

I decided to uninstall flash on my work computer (pc win 7) a while ago. I occasionally watch Youtube videos and it's getting better and better with time, I sometimes have to switch to chrome because some of the videos are not encoded

but can my experience only add value if I critique the shortcomings Not necessarily only the shortcomings, I was thinking critical as in "analytical", I would have love to read about how the EV experience translated driving out

No offence intended but I don't see the value of your experience buying a Leaf. To me it lacks a critical opinion, thus looking more like free advertising.

Sounds an awful lot like a free ad for the leaf.

Then why would they state : "The Amazon Browser Apps may also collect information about the websites you view"

I'm curious as to why you would ask such a question. It reminds me of this book that I haven't read but might answer some of your interrogations : http://kk.org/cooltools/archives/11678

Good point, I haven't seen any logo. Maybe it's still in the works and will later.

Pretty amazing yet totally normal not to see any exhaust system that I'm used to see on every car ;-)

It does by making important elements stand out (such as author, comments...). Bigger arrow which is sometimes tricky to hit. The colors kinda kills the eyes though.

most of the time All the crashes I've read about on the web were fatal failures with total data loss. I hope it'll get better.

I switched from screen to tmux to screen back again. tmux seemed slower while switching windows, plus I like the simplicity of screen.

I had the same problem, now I use https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stop-autoplay-for-... so that if I open a tab in the background I don't have to manually pause the Youtube video or I if restore a chrome session like you said.

I'm pretty sure that he is not the only person accountable for the sale. I would even guess that's it is far from it. He's backed up by many people as someone said in the comments. Can you actually sign any of these papers if you're a minor

What I like about Reader is the speed. Newsblur feels slow and bloated and of all the RSS readers I have tried it was the best. So now I just said fuck it and I'm working on my own reader using much of the work from http://rsslounge.adit
