Approximately 100% confident. You should never need to look at your keyboard.

I believe it was suggested that an ideal election would be one in which Paul and Sanders run opposed, not on the same ticket.

Any intentional mark is a legally valid signature. It doesn't matter what tool is used to make the mark, be it a computer, a muddy twig, or anything else. The established legality of electronic signatures is the reason why we have Hell

Lenovo ditched it on the Thinkpad[0]. I read this and thought, "At long last, Lenovo has realized that they've destroyed ThinkPad keyboards in recent years, and now they're celebrating the ThinkPad's return to its stat

In this early demo (Codename: Chicago), the minimize and maximize buttons have been redesigned, but the close button remains the same, and to the left as before. I wonder where the author got the idea that the [-] button at the top-left w

It's not mentioned in the article, but Composite A is rotated in a chin-up direction compared to Composite B. The difference is subtle yet distinct. Composite A's head angle appears to project a winning attitude, while Composite B

Not at all. You apparently didn't read the article. "Caltrans employees and U.S. contractors who supervised the job lived fulltime in Shanghai, and top officials flew there often. Tony Anziano, toll bridge program manager, alone s

SeaTac raised it to $15 at the beginning of 2014, and they're already seeing regrettable consequences. “Are you happy with the $15 wage?” I asked the full-time cleaning lady. “It sounds good, but it’s not good,” the woma

I'm glad it's finally compatible with LastPass! That alone increases usability quite a lot. The cartoon characters strike me as misguided though. Their target demographic is not children.

The dict protocol, and dict.org in particular, provides easy access to Webster's 1913 as well as other dictionaries. I normally use Webster's 1913 from the command line, since I usually have a terminal in front of me. I keep this

By "irony", I'm pretty sure they mean "sarcasm". It seems increasingly common for people to confuse the two.

I'd love to see sports leagues that allow not just performance-enhancing drugs, but also prosthetic enhancements of any kind. The athlete of tomorrow is a cyborg. Such a league would appear unplayable or non-fun to those players who abide b

I'd prefer an email to a flashy banner. I only log into facebook once a month or so, but I'd certainly have shown up there for a vote if I'd heard about this before it was too late.

BAC is up 76.26% YTD. Pretty much everything the article says makes sense, and I'm happy I closed my BofA account years ago, but at $5 I had to snatch up some of that stock. I hardly regret the decision.

In that post, you wrote, "DotTEL is not at all limited, as long as you can transition to the mindset of decoupling your content from its address." Care to elaborate? I thought tel stores no more than phonebook data. How could you use it to

Sure, if the cost of infrastructure is taken to be a result of the requirement to replicate data. But given an infrastructure that is maintained irrespective of its use for data replication, replication is free. The former case may describe

Don't bother trying to load the MPAA's contact page if you reject their cookies. It just loops a reload. I'm not exactly surprised that they value tracking over usability.

Post-scarcity has already arrived for every resource that has a marginal cost of production equal to zero. That includes every digital product. That's not to say we're living in the age of post-scarcity. Most of our resources are still limi

The URL with a trailing slash redirects to a 404. Presumably tmobile feels they're providing a more useful result, and monetizing it. If my ISP did this I would use a proxy.

Normally, in cases like this, the law prohibits businesses from offering gambling services. In that case, no Americans would have broken any law. However, a quick google search strongly implies that sports betting is in fact legal in Maryl
