As a general rule, women don't "hit on" men here in Sweden either. Like everywhere else, they indicate interest in more subtle ways - sometimes unconsciously. The male who is able to pick up on (and then follow up on) these c

Actually, I can see it work for programmers as well; tilde is easily pressed with the right thumb instead of left ring finger, esc is more easily reached for us vim users, and I know I sure don't use caps lock, ever. The soft function

Meh. In Linux, at least, you can do this: setxkbmap -option grp:switch,grp:shifts_toggle,grp_led:caps us,se It will toggle between US and Swedish layout when both shift keys are pressed together (basically the only time I use rshift), as we

Are you an idiot? Are you seriously suggesting that just because someone is over 65 they stop giving a shit about the planet, society and/or the greater good?

What's wrong with the grammar in the sentence you quoted?

Why do you even talk about infiltration? That is such a ridiculous straw man. No, it's far more likely the women were bribed to talk about rape after the US got pissed off at Assange. Anyway the whole case is really fishy if you look i

I use ownCloud[1] . A bit of a hassle to install, and not as streamlined as e.g. Dropbox to use, but well worth it if you wish to have your own, free and open source cloud solution. [1]: http://owncloud.org

There's nothing about TDD that prevents you from "using your human intelligence to plan ahead and design". I really don't understand why so many people think that. The main point of TDD is organically "growing"

"Death knell", please. While I see why one would confuse "knell" with "kneel", this is incorrect and the words have vastly different meanings. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_knell h

I was of the impression that rapeseed oil was unhealthy compared to e.g. extra virgin olive oil, due to the common processing methods used to extract it (heating, chemicals[1]). Extra virgin olive oil is extracted purely by mechanical means

In many places, people go to school/work when it's dark regardless of whether DST is in effect or not. I would also wager that the risk of being hit by a jetlagged, drowsy driver offsets any dubious benefit changing the time twice

I felt exactly the same way when I first got a keyboard without a numpad. Then I realized that I should just get used to touch typing on the number row instead. Though I still prefer a numpad (old habits die hard), using the num-row really

I'm sorry I came across as rude. Your blanket statement about Windows and iPhone being prettier presented personal bias as fact, which annoyed me, so I called you on it. Yes, you may not agree when I say Windows (7) looks butt ugly --

Bullshit. That's just your own very subjective opinion of UI preferences. I personally really don't care at all for the ridiculous glassy look of Aero in Windows 7; it's ugly to me. I think the biggest problem with Linux is t

Hey, that seems like an awesome hiring process. Personally, I think that if you want a brilliant mathematician/problem solver, then that's what you should put in the job listing. Then asking the kind of questions exemplified in th

Carbs are not essential, in fact you can survive and thrive without them. Fat and protein are essential, however. Why do you say that carbs should be your main energy source? I've seen no sound scientific evidence to support that cla

Or, to keep the blood sugar levels at a sane level, people could stop eating so much junk; protein and fat don't spike your blood sugar the way sugary carbs do.

I'm disgusted by this whole thing. Here's a lot of people jumping to conclusions based on the one-sided account of one person's blog post. Hasn't it occurred to you people that she might be lying? I'm not saying she

Heh. I remember the problems I had with moving around graphs, tables and pictures in MS Word. Man that sucked. Doing references and placing images in Latex, on the other hand, was a breeze once I got a hang of its programmatic behavior. May

A number? What are these exactly? I keep hearing people say this, but I can't think of any reasons where I would really need MS Office. I haven't used Word since Word 97, and I have never come across a use case that Open/Libr
