As the U.S. loses political importance and mindshare, sites will stop using U.S. units. Conversion to metric will eventually happen. As for language, I'm kind of split. On one hand language is a tool for communication that becomes more

I'm actually rather impressed with humanity's ability to standardize. It's perfectly natural (and in many cases desirable) for multiple parties to go through that "painful period" with different solutions that will

Same here. Any movie remotely related to the cold war (or just any conflict involving America) will probably have dramatic views of the Pentagon, often with "The Pentagon" as a caption. There's a difference between being &quo

You're refusing to accept the simple reality that professionals couldn't figure out how to put a computer on the floor. And that's how Apple lost an entire market!

Icelander here. We generally do this for American recipes, European recipes are usually not as sweet.

As one of the teens that used to be a nuisance, I agree. The old lagoon had a certain magic to it, though. Even if you'd usually leave it both burnt from sudden surges of warm water and bloody from knife-sharp lava.

Who wouldn't like to visit Three Mile Island's own Green Lagoon. For that healthy glow. Makes you positively luminous.

The article is somewhat misleading. The 50MW number refers to power provided by each borehole, not an entire plant. For example, the Hellisheiði Geothermal Power Station [1] generates around 450MW using 30 holes. [1] https://en.w

Why did you trash it rather than recycle it?

Indeed. A little Quatermass and the Pit-ish :)

This is pretty much the exact opposite of what I've experienced within my group of friends/family.

Buzzfeed should not dictate how companies write their press releases.

Meh? This affects those of us that live in this country quite a lot. What is it that you find so odd or different about our politics from the rest of the world?

Please explain, I don't understand what you are talking about. What does SEC and Wall Street have to do with me not wanting my phone hacked?

by hugi 11y ago
I see nothing ironic about me not wanting government backdoors built into my phone. I'm quite capable of forming my own opinion and I don't care about "public opinion". Especially in this case since I find the public opi

I'm waiting for SequelPro to add Postgres support before I make the switch. It's an amazing product.

As an Icelander; Bravo to Mr. Zuckerberg, he's got the right idea. Hope the rest of America picks up soon.

I have the exact opposite experience. I've attempted to switch to IntelliJ on multiple occasions in the past couple of years but I've never gotten it to feel as fast and flexible as Eclipse. Is it possible you're comparing to

You don't need specialized equipment. I used to make skyr at our local dairy back when I was a kid (in Neskaupstaður, East Iceland), the equipment we used for our method of production was: 1) A large metal vat for the milk to ferment i

Or EODatabaseContext.qualifierForLockingAttributesPrimaryKeyAttributesEntitySnapshot(). Work with WO made me prefer this style of long, self documenting method/variable names.

Probably part of it, but for me, the somewhat uncanny valley-ish non-standard look and behaviour of Swing UIs (and AWT before that) is the biggest turn off. Using java apps on the desktop feels a little like using a keyboard with mittens.

Yes, accusing a nation state requires a decent amount of evidence - however the US has a track record of lying about and and manufacturing evidence when required. Or how's that whole "chemical weapons in Iraq"-thing going? If
