Agreed. Since "May God have mercy on his soul" is pretty much boilerplate language for executions, we should look at the difference in what Shurtleff says. When he writes, "May God grant him the mercy he denied his victims," the emphasis is

I guess I won't know unless I try. Speaking from my recent experience, having moved from a Texas town with about 350 people to New York City a few months ago, I had some of the same concerns. In my case, I took a slight 'cost of living v

It is especially infuriating in the grocery store when they "go to the trouble" of adding conversion information to the shelf label but then aren't consistent with the units on similar products. Thanks HEB, since you did the math I know tha

The way these systems usually work, the call comes FROM the keypad/speakerphone at the gate, TO your home number. That's how it can recognize the DTMF and open the gate. If the call were coming FROM his friends mobiles, TO Google Voice, how

The Mophie Juice Pack does two things for my 3G: (1) Makes it thicker (2) Gives it longer battery life. Problem solved ;)

To further illustrate how you can't just throw these labels around, Myers-Briggs has "iNtuiting" on another axis. PZ Meyers makes references that place "Intuition" in opposition to science (thinking.) If the words mean the same in both cont

I am tech-savvy, and I've set up 4 Asterisk systems in production. And if I were getting an 800 number for a startup, I'd DEFINITELY outsource it. I'd rather spend my time talking to customers than setting up and maintaining my PBX.

I think there's plenty of precedent for works titled "The Art of X" to explain how "X" works. Knuth? (I was going to include an Amazon link for a book search on "The Art of" to support my point, but the first few pages of results were all b

I expected guidelines for how to take things away without angering users -- would be a good (but much harder to write) post. These three bullet points barely state the problem. I don't think the title over-promised, I think I over-expected

I haven't been particularly concerned with the privacy implications. I tend to operate under the assumption that stuff I post online is public. But this latest change has another implication: it decreases the ability for expression on my pr

If Jobs had said "We strongly believe that you should be able to develop on the iPad and iPhone using all open standards pertaining to the web," you would have a point. Your logic is all twisty. "We only want to support open standards" does
