Looking at other houses in the neighborhood, it's probably about 10-15% because it's the Lynch residence, and the rest of it is the extent of the land, the number of houses, and, of course, the place where it is. By way of contras

That shouldn't require a pact, that should be part of the standard check list for ending employment. (The list is longer for those who have root, but it should still be a list.)

You can go all the way through the data provenance: - do you have all the posters for all movies? Probably not. - do you have well-preserved examples of those posters? Many are going to be sun- or age- faded. - do you have good scans of the

Similarly, the fact that Banks didn't write about internal threats other than the ones he wrote about (Eccentric Minds, Absconders, conspiracies to promote specific agendas, etc etc) doesn't mean that others don't exist. An a

Two simple changes in the law could fix this. 1. Require an independent home inspection as a condition of every sale, with a penalty of losing the right to live in the largest building after six months. 2. Make the report of every home ins

That works for a conventional mouse: you've used one before. This one is a little different shape, a little bigger, ooh, no wires. That's fine: in five minutes you know whether it's OK. How long does it take to decide whether

Different people have different preferences. I suspect a bunch of smaller manufacturers would have more success with their products if there was an easy way to try them out for a week or two. Buying hardware sight-unseen incurs a heavy risk

The other problem is that people will rebuild without insurance. The correct, but very unpopular decision is to forbid rebuilding in those areas.

My handwriting was terrible -- until I took a technical drafting course in school. The two things I got out of it that lasted were readable handwriting and better arrowheads on lines, when I remember to do them properly. Good news: you don&

If you don't have anyone around who understands the material differently from the way you do, you can't discuss it with them. This is not particularly worrisome in basic arithmetic, but severely limits history, philosophy, and art

When I was in big corps, I understood but really disliked the idea that people would do work in order to get a promotion. That's the only incentive structure they've set up, so that's what you do. What I like about well-run s

When your unique selling proposition is that you are just like Windows, but cheaper, you end up with a lot of customers who are expecting 100% Windows behavior. For desktop Linux to be successful, it needs to be the cool different OS -- not

That would be awesome! But in fact, customer call centers tend not to be able to even know that you called in yesterday, three days ago and last week. This is why email-ticketing call centers are vastly superior.

Pro-tip: don't write the summary at all until you need it for evidence. Store the call audio at 24Kb/s Opus - that's 180KB per minute. After a year or whatever, delete the oldest audio. There, I've saved you more million

Apple would like your macbook to be more like your iphone: applications only via their store, thank you very much. But it isn't worth the bother; the macbook market is much smaller than the iphone market.

It's so strange that we don't have cameras which have write-only access to the image spool, galleries that have read-only access to the image spool, and a file manager app that can handle delete requests from other applications wi

The lesson of that is that you should wait at least 20 years before getting a device that purports to do the thing well, and maybe 40. And even then, people will still publish recipe books and cooking technique books. Right now, people who

I have a mouse with an interesting number of buttons. (Elecom EX-G Pro; I recommend it if you have large hands and like thumb trackballs.) So I ran xev to see what buttons they mapped to, and chose: "xvkbd -text "\[XF86Copy]&quot
