But then please for the love of god make about:config something that can be used without trawling mozilla.org discussion threads or random about.com 'articles'. I think one of the reasons that about:config is not easy to use is because it s

Agreed; I expected it to be the story of Therac-25 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Therac-25 ) It was involved in at least six accidents between 1985 and 1987, in which patients were given massive overdoses of radiation, approximately 100 t

If you purchase farmland, at least in the upper Midwest, you'll earn a 5-8% yearly dividend by renting it out, and there is little to no maintenance that you need to do yourself (depending on your rental contract).

It is that hard to believe. I've watched Gangnam Style twice, maybe three times, and I know lots of people who have never seen it at all. I've seen the moon landing footage dozens of times, and I don't know anyone over the age of 10 who ha

The "World's Most Watched Video" may be an exaggeration -- am I to believe that Gangnam Style has been watched more times than the Zapruder film or the moon landing footage?

The older I get, the more I turn into my father, who despises wishlists and won't tell people what gifts he'd like. Only receiving gifts that were on a list removes the mystery and wonder from the process. I've begun telling people who ask

Must be in Apple's haste to make iOS 6 zip along impressively they got too happy with the cache settings. As a developer, this is one of the most irritating things to see in a bug report: a smirky uninformed assumption about why the bug e

I very much appreciate the actual vertical screen real estate within apps such as Mail and Calendar, which now can display much more info. "Much more info"? The new screen is only 0.5 inches taller. That's equivalent to half of a Mail mes

It sounds to me like cfinke made a poor choice when acquiring a used instrument then extrapolated that to 'all old instruments are bad/can't properly hold pitch'. This information came to me via my father (a church musician, organist, and

A neglected engine does not spell the end for a vehicle - but it seems to be that that is in fact the case for a neglected piano. Well, you could always disassemble the piano, replace the strings, tuning pegs, and possibly the soundboard,
