This strikes me as being a PR thing - Obama being a 'man of the people' while accepting that it's a good thing because the emails would be discoverable.

The counterargument is that, if I am to fly, I would like the ability to check for myself that the physics equations used to design the plane are correct.

As I recall, most of the Native deaths were from smallpox, measles, typhoid, diphtheria, and the bubonic plague. Not exactly common diseases these days. I don't think that the Middle Ages person would do too badly, though we would definitel

Most Inspirons don't have a warranty that includes international service. I had to tell people in similar situations that they need to bring or mail their machine back to the US before it could be fixed. So, I'm leaning toward lucky.

Guitar string frequencies are 82 Hz, 110 Hz, 147 Hz, 196 Hz, 247 Hz, and 330 Hz. Generate each frequency and twist the knobs until you can no longer hear a beat frequency. Or buy a tuner. If the strings are hard to keep in tune you will wan

Note: International warranty only valid on 'business model' laptops - mostly Latitudes. Also, you often have to be a PITA to Dell to make sure that international service happens. That's my experience, as a former Dell business tech support

For some reason I've had to say this a lot recently: If the machine is important for work then don't get a consumer model. The XPS and Inspirons are consumer models. If something needs to be replaced the tech support people (soon Philippine

It doesn't matter if it's stereotypical, only if it's accurate. I would like to hear an argument against the accuracy, and would love if citations were included. It's another set of rules to play with, another system to hack. Learn the game

Another vote for the Kinesis. Literally all there is to my job is typing, and after 4 days on a cheapo keyboard I couldn't type anymore. Switched to a Kinesis and have been fine for months.

The main difference is that Lisp has macros, no other languages' macro systems come close. For the cute version of why Lisp macros are so awesome check out chapter 8 of Practical Common Lisp ( http://gigamonkeys.com/book/ ). For the serious

Emacs + Slime + Swank = <3 and 0 interruption when deploying new code. Swank is an amazing tool to connect to a remote REPL. I wonder what the Vim lovers do without it. And don't forget Paredit ... in fact just go ahead and read http:/
