Which is why I'd be the guy studying at McD's in ear-shot of the cashier. When I hear somebody order 10 I ask them to order 20 and I'll pay them a quarter.

There used to be. Now it's just S/M/L (plus a very small children's size) which are 16/21/32 oz. This is also another pricing curiosity. Who buys a large when there are free refills? I guess I don't unders

What I learned: Dartmouth students have plenty of money, because I know they're not this bad at math. I don't care how bad a McNugget tastes reheated. I'm buying 20 and putting 10 in the fridge. At the very least I'm giv

That's largely because so many diamonds get jobs thrown at them and wind up in the "I haven't updated my resume. No worries, just send what you have." They get the interview, knock it out of the park and don't bothe

The interface can just show a more link after a certain number of characters. Then again, I never really got twitter from the publishing side as it's only a read-only thing for me.

Because to most project managers the problem always looks easier during the spec phase than it actually is. Very few people can groc the problem before doing it. Occasionally you over-estimate, but usually you are under. That's why a g

I've run a few photo sites and one of the things I do on all wild incoming JPGs is do a minor compression on them and if that saves more than about 30% on the file size I just use the compressed version. Then anything that's been

But a flash disk that is healthy after 14 years is taking up probably 4x or more the DC space and power at a lower speed of a replacement disk at the end of its life span. The power part is probably not that significant, but the space and p

One reason they don't catch on is that a keyboard is like $20. I always wanted to get a DataHand but they were over $1000. Buying one for home and one for work made it even worse.

Slack doesn't strike me as the kind of company that would do that. So many of the users of the general group slacks also use it at their place of work. Slacks pricing model doesn't work for this in the sense that if they wanted to
