I don't think people are as attracted to novelty as you think. Sure, everyone has a gadget (or garment) or three that they buy just for novelty, but the vast majority of household items and appliances are bought just to fulfill their

Repetition can be incredibly useful. I can't imagine memorizing vocabulary or simple facts (when was FOO born?) without repetition. Of course, actually using the facts (or vocab) makes them stick better. But use is also repetition.

And if you can't size it, you can't size swap either so yeah.. monitor and then do what you need to do.

That sounds like a feature to me. Noncompetes are terrible, and you should be prepared to pay out of your nose if you want to keep an employee off the market. As long as you're not forced to pay that money, it's all good. It ju

I say pfft to this. The article makes a poor case. None of this matters if you have enough memory. Hence, calling swap "emergency memory" (or poor man's ram) is perfectly justified. If you can honestly answer "How muc

Counter point: as I get older, I find it harder and harder to put up with annoying little nags in the software I use (iow, I have less patience for crap). And boy does software today have a ton of that. I think I'm just about to cros

Why do modifiers suck? I find that they make me stretch and move my fingers around less while allowing me to use a smaller and more comfortable keyboard. Having more modifiers helps! The problem with standard keyboards is that they'
