Yup. I had to specifically buy another router to use with the modem because the U-Verse default routers don't even let you set custom DNS servers and AT&Ts were significantly slowing my connection.

Is there a single company that has primarily positive Glassdoor reviews? I've only ever heard of companies having lots of negative reviews, and I think it might just be the same as apartment buildings, where nobody actually bothers to

I'm still on 12.04 LTS and haven't been paying much attention to the updates since then. Are there any huge changes in between as far as the general day-to-day experience?

IANAL, but the important pieces (in most states) come from the Uniform Trade Secrets Act[0], which defines a Trade Secret. I'm pretty sure that most software ideas developed at software companies can be considered trade secrets, unless

One thing you may want to try, if you're not doing this already, is to remove the actual numbers on the axes when you xkcd-ify graphs. I think people see the numbers and think that the results are precise and removing numbers that mean

This is an awesome idea! I like thinking of arguments/debates as almost like a logical/mathematical argument (thanks to a lot of people, but most recently Day9 of Starcraft community fame) and this would make that explicit and the

"Lasing" an airplane is actually much worse than doing so to a car because of the way the cockpit glass is made (in addition to the diffusion from being so far away). See http://www.pangolin.com/faa/images&#

I'm really pleased that I knew exactly what this was before clicking. I send this to people anytime I see them fighting a speech-to-text engine.

In my experience, US-English text-to-speech mangles those street names too (my favorite is "El Monte" as "Ell Monty"), though I haven't used Siri in particular.

Yeah, my primary reason for getting the Das was to play Starcraft. I've never felt like I have too few keys at a time (but maybe that's because i'm not enough of a hardcore bonjwa).

Yup. I'm using a Das Keyboard, and can only get six keys at a time on their applet. One way some people get around this is by using PS/2.

I think there are current court battles playing out over the employers who didn't settle. That being said, everyone is acting like this didn't happen and ostensibly stop five years ago.

Descriptive linguistics doesn't mean "whatever anyone says is correct and it should go." This ain't 'nam, there are rules, and you can still run afoul of them. The basic tenet of descriptivism is that, as people who

It appears that you're targeting corporate users, am I right? I would guess that individuals would probably just use something like Google Hangout or e-mail or some other chat client. For many corporations, I think one of the biggest i

As much as I agree with the fact that we should all be grateful for our amazing jobs, gratefulness is not the same thing as "not allowed to complain."

People were generally opposed because it felt like "cheating". I'm sort of on this side -- I think the "anarchy" experiment is pretty fun to watch, though I do think a "democracy" experiment would be inter

Of course this is his desired outcome, because every man who works for gender equality is doing it for praise or because he wants to get laid.

Well now you're making an ad hominem fallacy. Can you please read the actual pages I linked and tell me why you disagree with their arguments or why the arguments they are debunking don't apply to what you wrote?

For this comment I'm going to assume that you are a man. I apologize if this isn't the case. Let's say you wanted to be a teacher, a field that is largely female-dominated, and all of the teachers you've ever worked with
