I understand why in a world of easily destructible tape memory, there was only one, non-replicated flight data recorder memory. And it must've been quite heavy. I don't understand now why in an aircraft strewn with various datalinks, there

Ooh, I like the design where there is no canopy and a propeller right in front of your face. There's a nice protective pillar. I'm certain it's safe.

So it seems terrific up until it asks me to sign in with my Google Account and provides fields for email and password. So that's a killer right there. It needs so oauth or whatever the cool kids are calling it these days. Give me some oaut

As I said a few days ago, here, http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2454468 I think Metafilter handled it equally poorly. The moderators were okay with the first several comments that immediately attacked Adams with ad hominem and were m

For me, there are two aspects of Greplin. One is a global search across many different services including multiple google services as well as other, completely different services (evernote for instance I think). That is a very powerful new

Ah! Very perceptive. But that's not a confirmed outing. And I've done that in other forums to other people making weirdly passionate defenses of someone. Sometimes that's just a mocking. The first whiff I get of an outing is cortex's msg in

I will defer to you, however that's one but not the only interpretation of: "How many people think I'm actually Scott Adams writing about myself in third person? posted by plannedchaos at 9:21 AM on April 15 plannedchaos, please check your

Regardless of whether Adams should have posted as plannedchaos or not, it feels a bit icky and privacy violating to me that an administrator of Metafilter knew and acted on it. As examples, if you work at the Social Security Administration,
