A) this was not a midlevel management position. B) Your life is made more convenient daily by people who do jobs that you don't want to. This guy has the nerve to _like_ his job and that bothers you? The article states that the guy had

I've never (to my knowledge) had any issues re: legal requests about my site, but I can say that I've been a happy customer of Dreamhost for many years now. Support is quick, friendly, and knowledgeable, and the pricepoint for the

This really confused me. Even if you power it from your monitor you've got to plug it in. No shame in having one or two cords, so why fake the product shots?

As an owner of Schalansky's Atlas of Remote Islands (I actually have the "pocket atlas" version), I have to say it's a really beautiful little book with poetic and well-written stories for each entry. I'd definitely

Particularly problematic with this is that a human cannot necessarily determine with 100% confidence where the error is. If you have a CSV where every row has 5 entries, and you come upon this row: > 100,1,200,300,10,100 You suspect that

I think in a few years, we're going to be looking back at this as a half-assed hack before we were ready for a macbook with a full touch screen. Touch typists (which I'd imagine are an increasing proportion of computer users) don&

Seems totally unnecessary, considering he could just be handed someone else's laptop, right? I'd imagine it would have to be the entire embassy, or else the network that he has access to in his space.

This looks fantastic. I could see this speeding up a lot of build processes for all sorts of devs. (Just realized, auto-compiling modified latex docs is another great use-case).
