also it sounds too similar to "reddit"; it would lead to hilarious Abbott and Costello-esque hijinks

I've entered into the US dozens of times, never once have I been asked to even turn on my laptop. You'll be fine

If one were bugging a telephone line, I think they'd use something far less conspicuous

VBA. It's nice to be able to write somebody an excel macro that they can run without having to install anything. Sue me.

Yes, it's a habit I picked up from reddit, I think. It saves time, and commenters often explain difficult concepts in a more accessible way

I'm not sure I really understand the implications of this. It doesn't seem like this is an inherent weakness in computer recognition of images, but instead a weakness of a particular DNN? Or am I way off base?

I listen to a few every time there's a new episode: * Free Beer & Hot Wings -- this is actually a radio show, but I've been listening since I was in high school and I'm a huge fan or their humor: http://www.fre

Some devices still probe, even for APs that broadcast their SSID. I honestly don't know enough about it to explain why , but I know some Android phones will probe (my Note used to, my nexus 5 doesn't)

It's worth noting that a "disparate impact"(racially-discriminated outcome) is the standard by which these sort of things can be judged. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disparate_impact

I like to wget, because you can easily automate and customize it. Here's the man page: http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html

Not to rehash a tired topic, but that cross just doesn't make sense. It's shown in canon that the hilt can be cut by a lightsaber. It follows that the crossquard would offer almost no resistance at the point where it is needed (wh

Nice! There are a few resources in there I haven't seen before. Mind if I do some quick copy-edit? - "Save yourself hours in reading through API documentation to build this yourself." Keep the tense consistent: "reading

If they were on Xbox, Microsoft is the first contact for this. I was able to get a refund pretty easily after my little cousin bought a bunch of stuff on my account. In the future, I'd recommend a pre-paid card, like others have menti

I actually assumed there were libraries written for that sort of thing already -- so many company sites let you upload a resume and parse it.

The knee-jerk answer isn't welcome here. Arbitration agreements (slack's included) usually state that both parties must agree on an arbitrator. If they don't agree, each party picks its own

Cool idea, but I don't think my wife wants an inspissator. As nice as it would be to make it easier for her to produce large batches of uniform tuberculosis culture medium four to six times per day, she usually only produces one or two
