Ride a bike to a stop on the most direct bus line. Typically, whenever I want to go downtown for a big event, I'll find a busline that goes to that area, then trace its route to the outskirts. I go ride/drive there and take the bu

I had a friend in elementary school who had an English Bulldog. One summer it just died laying on the kitchen floor, at age 4 or 5. Not enough oxygen. Pretty messed up.

Well that was weird. tldr; Windows has 92% OS share. Windows 10 only accounts for 24% (maybe). Windows 10 is so, so secure. How to make people upgrade? Windows 10 new update will have advertising. Other OS's sure look good now. I feel

The point is, change your pitch. Your wording leads to thoughts like the two commenters had above. Shouldn't be too hard if you have real substance to sell.

The thing with that though is that you can buy a Surfacebook in a lot of different places. Macbook is mostly the Apple Store, or at least that is the perception. Ever notice how unbusy the Apple section at Best Buy is?

This is great. My wife has meniere's disease, so we need to protect her hearing in all moderately loud situations, (bars, music venues, movies). In advance of SXSW one year, I bought her a pair of these: http://amzn.to/

Hah! I'll have to show this to my wife. She already knows to spread my ashes in the California Redwoods. Now maybe we can protect them as well.

"Patients were randomly given a placebo or synthetic psilocybin, and not told which. " Hah. I bet they figured out which pill they got, pretty quickly.

Just curious, have you already made money off of this? Would you mind sharing some stats?

If one believes the premise, this is a situation where better voice control could literally save lives, as well as my sanity. "Text John" "I'm sorry, I can't do that right now" ...

I really wish they didn't name their company 'Soylent'. Soylent Green was a gross concept for a movie, and, unrelated, I really can't stand the sound of the word.

But even if it were, the creator of the botnet would first have to gain control and then issue a command, right? How would either of those things be possible from outside if there was no connection into the US?

This may be dumb, but someone enlighten me: If this kind of attacking does escalate, wouldn't it be possible to simply cut off requests from outside the United States at the points of entry? Basically, turning the US into an intranet?

Isn't there some confirmation bias here? Meaning, you survived, and so you're still here to tell us that it all worked out fine.

Who claims to have read a book they didn't? "Yea I read that." (No I didn't). That's straight lying. I think what's more likely is, someone will say, "YOU should read this book. It's awesome." Th

I tend to counter this argument with an analogy: "I'm building houses, not hammers." It's a problem if you don't know the right tool for the job. It's a good idea to have some idea about how the tool works, but

Pretty much every time I board a flight I just look for the closest exit, then go back to reading. Then I have a vision of scrambling over the tops of seats to get out of a crash incident. Luggage isn't a part of that vision. Then I go

So, I like to learn new programming stuff, but most of that is mostly in front of a Pluralsight course, following along in Visual Studio or a text editor. Any suggestions on how to make this novel or creative? I think I can find ways to act
