I'm curious if you received the same emails I did. We got ours from our cert vendor, so I suppose that's as about as direct as it can get. If your domain registar was crafting their own, then I could see how you might have gotten

I would hope that such a device would be wiped and/or factory reset before being auctioned off. However I've worked in IT long enough to know how all too often, that doesn't happen. That said, I believe any claim that there

I envy that you had BASIC; I never did. I don't recall if all of the instances from my elementary school career didn't have BASIC installed in the ROM, or if I simply never got the change to discover the world that existed beyond

I took a look at some of the transcribed code examples. Understand, I consider myself a novice at C, one who's just starting to get a clue about pointers. But reading the code examples, more than once I found myself going, "Wait..

Or perhaps it would keep the really extreme and unworkable BS out of the law and government policy. Such a diverse body of legislators is going to have a much smaller set of policies they agree is a good idea, and that would result in a sma

Thank you. Reading this, this looks simple and straightforward. There's additional things I'd like to see, suggested elsewhere in the comments, but I'll be happy to take this, and not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

I like the idea as described in general, but the devil is always in the details. Unless I'm missing something, the article doesn't cite a bill number or name, to my frustration. That makes it harder to go look at the text of the b

Now that I type this out, I find myself curious just how much work it would take to implement a software-modelled distortion in the browser. I guess that's another entry for my list of "Hey, wouldn't it be neat if I could do

The distortion sounds are being distorted on individual strings, as opposed to after summing. If you look at the credits, and follow the link to the sound sources, you can find the files used. If you listen, you'll be able to match t

I suggest turning off the distortion by default for the 1st stage of tuning with the electric tuner. The distortion can mask being slightly (+/- 5 cents) out of tune, making it hard to hear even though the tuner says it's still wr

As commented in the thread attached to that tweet, the comparison of statewide numbers in the 50s to just San Francisco today is an apples-to-oranges comparison. It honestly comes across as a bit disingenuous. I'd be more interested i

An amusing thought: If a lot more people would start submitting claims though such laws, the cities/states would start getting more proactive in fixing damage to the roads, so as to limit the amount of legit claims they had to pay.

Is not a major part of the reason for the high SF salaries because of the high cost of living? As much as I hate to say it, I might want a SF salary, but unless I'm paying a SF-level of rent, a SF-level salary's probably going to

It seems to me that porcelain-enameled grates are becoming more common, even on cheaper grills. And yeah, that style of grate cleans a lot easier than the straight metal wire grate I've seen on older grills.

I am mildly surprised this is a problem. I've used a wire brush to clean the grill for as long as I've grilled and had no issues. But then, I've always combined using a wire brush with pre- and post-cooking heating the grill
