How much nicotine do you vape now vs how much did you use with the patches? I'm told the absorption rate of nicotine through the lungs is higher than through the skin, but I'm curious to find out from someone who has used both whi

Somebody mentioned on here a few days ago that it's possible Apple would kill their laptop line entirely. I scoffed at the time, but this article has made me wonder. If the iPad offered the same screen, had better battery life, was jus

Protective covers. Most are too thick to work with a cradle designed for a naked phone. Making a cradle with an adjustable width and depth is, apparently, either too difficult or too expensive.

> I would have thought that the technologists were above such petty envy. That's a pernicious assumption. Technologists are still human and are vulnerable to the same emotions and biases of the hoi polloi.

If you were to take a poorly written 1000+ line function and split it up into 25 functions, you still have a complete mess AND you don't know where to find anything. If you look closer at those 1000+ line functions that are a dumpster

Don't pilots typically sleep on long trips while their co-pilot flies the plane? Maybe a better term to use would be "assist". "assisted driving system" or "assisted highway driving"?

I'm wrong about what, exactly? My argument about reliability was about a 1986 Toyota Corolla driven in 1996 vs a 1999 Toyota Corolla driven in 2009. My argument about fun to drive was the Mustang, which came from my father. I wasn&#x27

Modern economy cars suck. They're less fuel efficient than they used to be, they have less power, they're not as stable and they're in need of constant repairs. They're also more expensive than they were 20 years ago. I

IMHO, that's the best endorsement for the book I've ever seen. Zed had a knack for pissing off people who spent too much time in theory and too little time building things. I don't blame him for finally charging for it either
