Ok, so I wiki'd what patronymics are (your "last" name is based on your father's name), but could you elaborate. Did the author use "Jónsdóttir" incorrectly?

I don't have any evidence to back it up, but I think uTorrent has better network code and produces faster downloads. I use despite its slight ugliness compared to transmission.

One thing that always gets me about blog posts like these, is that they never fill in the details in the post. He goes on about things he's struggled with, solutions he's found, etc, but never actually says what they are. I'm an Emacs novic

This isn't bad, but why wouldn't you also host the live code on Dropbox as well. One of the biggest bonuses I see about Dropbox is the fact that I am, essentially, backed up all the time . If his computer blew up before he hit "push", he

Whatever, thats a pretty good deal. You paid $100 to listen to music and now you get to re-use that $100 again to get new music (or rebuy some of the old stuff) They're basically giving you your $100 back.

More likely Apple reaches out to him because he is by far the most influential Apple website outside of Apple I also think he is one of the most levelheaded apple-centric websites out there. Gruber talks a lot about premium products (not

What of this possibility: Aliens and intelligent life-forms do exist at many levels of development, but no-one has discovered a way to travel the unimaginable distances of the universe. Even at near light speed travel, we can barely visit o

It seems to make perfect sense. Its like storing and retrieving objects in a database. You can do it by hand, but its more of a pain -- better to leave it to something else and use the abstraction: storeData(key,value), retreiveData(key).

I read that, when he gave technical talks away from Caltech, he would have to use a pseudonym, so that the room wasn't packed full of people wanting to see "Famous Nobel Prize winning Feynman" give a talk. This way only the appropriate peop

I tried it for OS X, but scrolling sucks and I can't seem to adjust it. There's also some other little things I keep finding that annoy me... It may be faster than Safari, but not compellingly so.

Keep your saturated fat levels down (> 20g a day) You used the bracket wrong. Correct: "fat levels down (< 20g a day)"

This is somewhat misleading. You still have to "study", ie do homework, read the book, and spend time with the material, you just don't expressively stare at notes and solutions for hours the day before the exam, which generally doesn't wor

What do mean by this Have a completely cold chain for its meat supply. What's a "cold chain"? Does it control the meat from cow to selling it and therefore can control the safety?

I wouldn't really call it "vertically integrated". HTC made it. Sure google told them what to make, and I guess you could say apple tells foxconn what to make, but I feel like google just said, "Make us a sweet, thin, keyboardless, phone, w

I'm almost positive that LLVM provides both. You always target LLVM bytecode with your frontend, but then you can choose either to: - run the bytecode using the LLVM with or without JIT. - compile the LLVM bytecode into x86 bytecode. This

You've never been to a dentist? Whoa. Where are you from? I imagine, to some extent, that there it is the best interest of dentists to have you come in regularly, but I have to imagine that the research says that going to the dentist preve

If you make $255K, you only get a higher tax rate on the extra $5K. You'll still have more money than someone making $249K. No matter how you slice it, more money = more money. The gov't just will tax you a bit extra on the 5K.

This is what I also imagined. Anand over at anandtech posted a big review of the A9 and it seems like a big step forward for ARM chips. I'm sure someone will soak the A4 in a acid bath and take some photos of the raw silicon and tell us all

Its exactly what we should have expected. A giant iPod Touch, nothing revolutionary, but still cool. I'm sure I won't be able to afford it, but maybe one day...

How did you "scrape" through the black? Just with fingernails? When you say, "overlay with black", you just mean that you colored over the top with black crayon? I have several nephews + nieces who might actually want to do this.

I think your sample size of one is not going to be statistically significant. However I do think that in this case, the plural of anecdotes might actually equal data.

When we moved to San Diego, my girlfriend couldn't find a job and ended up working at a coffee shop and school for minimum wage. Luckily California requires that all jobs pay minimum wage, even if you make tips. With tips she ends up with

Is it any surprise, though? Math is taught in a manner that focuses very much on the how but rarely ever the why. And while Discovery Math/Reform Math/etc are lambasted for not teaching kids to memorize certain algorithms, they do somethin

Yes, but the questions were really easy. Even a liberal arts major should've been able to answer them. They would have seen problems like these in the first 2-3 years in high school many, many times.

>1) Relearn how to eat. Do not eat just to eat, but eat for a reason. Is this, "God I'm starving after that trek through the woods, this pasta is delicious!" Or, "Boy this braised rabbit with wine reduction turned out well."
