   Ack, a sticker would be worse.

   AT&T cannot reduce performance to some classes of sites, and charge other sites more to have their traffic put on the fast-lane. Because if AT&T were to do so, then anyone whose connection gets passed to AT&T at any point in the

   Since when does being assertive require that you hurt others?

   I tend not to code in my free time, because whenever I feel like coding, I apply that effort to a project designed to make me money, so that time becomes work time.

   I installed tmux, but have not yet played with it. I know I want to, simply because it supports vertical splits…

   I'm not entirely sure that the craft of programming has a great deal to do with the core of computer science. A programmer develops software for the hardware of today, so good programmers had better be well acquainted with von Neumann’s arc

   For OS X you can use Color Oracle ( http://colororacle.cartography.ch/ ) or Sim Daltonism ( http://michelf.com/projects/sim-daltonism/ ) to see your designs as a person with various types of color blindness would. I would hope that such sof

   I thought QS had a calculator plugin. At least I think I remember using a QS-based caluclator… in any case, I definitely have to agree that LaunchBar is a superior product at this time.

   Which is why I have that one really strong password guarding my keychain, which holds randomly-generated passwords for sites.

    Or, if sub-atomic particles can behave truly randomly, then perhaps they might have free will, deciding what to do for themselves, which we can only see as randomness (I do not think this is true, it’s just an interesting thought). Sadly,

    Yeah. I only ever use GMail through IMAP, and then didn’t find this until after it was back up. Never had a clue.

    I’m not sure if it’s “drama” or “teasing fun”. With those 2 it can be hard to tell.

    Indeed. And it the scroll-ball were larger, I’d probably like it. Just do that, and make the 2 buttons physically distinct, then it would be a halfway decent mouse.

    Worth noting that not every B&N has an “upstairs”. Indeed, most of the B&Ns I’ve been to have been 1 story, though the ones in large, wealthy, shopping areas have been 2.

    Considering the massive authorize.net outage that occured because of a fire in 1 datacenter not long ago… well, I no longer have faith that large companies have geographic redundancy ;) Edit: or, if they have it, I don’t trust that it is im

    I actually prefer serif fonts, at least if they’re designed for screen rather than print (So, basically, Georgia is my favorite web-safe typeface).

    I remember very little of school (my experience was meh, not bad). Sometimes (again on Facebook) I’ll see a name that seems familiar, but I can’t remember the person. Some (few) other people I remember clearly. An addendum: I can’t even rem

    They are quite costly compared to other online backup services — and money tends to help with scalability.

    If you happen to like inline-block (which I do), you’ll break FF 2 fairly reliably, as well.

    So long as the exploit doesn’t require multiple login attempts at all (which I assume it wouldn’t) yeah. MaxAuthTries protects against other things.

    That is always a good idea, anyway. Been a long while since I’ve used the standard ssh port on servers under my control.

    Signed up for a free account: the hint display blocks the bottom part of the add-story sidebar, which makes things more difficult to work with. A way to get hints back after hiding them would be useful, too. Or some sort of way to summon co

    Because if you think of it as assignment, the fact that a <- [2] binds a to 2, rather than [2], makes no sense. edit: a better example (because it is more useful) would be: a <- Just 2 which, again, binds a to 2, unwrapping the Mayb

    Iirc, it isn’t even assignment, it’s a monad extraction. e.g. a <- [2] … gives a the value of 2, unwrapping the List monad (only works if the return value of the function is a List of some kind). The above could also be written: [2] &#6

    You wouldn’t be thinking of “Why the Japanese Hate the iPhone”, would you? That story happens to be linked in the second paragraph of this article.
