The president has pardon power for federal crimes only, he does not have pardon power for state crimes. The constitution is pretty explicit about this, qualifying with "offenses against the United States". Wikipedia has a much more thoroug

Also what if you leave Maps open on your phone while you walk around the city? I would imagine that would skew the data as well. It sounded to me like they only show the data if there enough reportings to give them confidence. So, even i

No, not an affiliate id I simply copied the url straight out of my address bar - I'm guessing it's a session id or something. Here is the id-less link for anyone who doesn't believe me (I can't change the url of the post unfortunately): ht

Tunnel paths will be pre-planned so as to avoid interfering with existing infrastructure. I for one am skeptical of this. There is _a lot_ of underground infrastructure which isn't documented. Just think about all of the wiring, sewer li

Totally agree. Once I found the gallery I pretty much immediately "got it" but up to that point I was having a hard time figuring out what it the product actually was.

Yes, I actually just contributed my first patches for Rails this weekend (I think 3 or so got committed already) during the bugmash event. I definitely plan on making more contributions too.

Well, tr.im would possibly get out of some hosting costs since they've promised to keep everything up until December 31st. That said, I'll be surprised if it actually happens.

I'm more than happy to see these job ads - one alternative would be to see normal advertising which I think we can all agree would be more annoying. With these, it's something which someone in the community can potentially benefit from (le

My usual daily routine consists the following: 1-2 cups of coffee in the morning and lots of water and orange juice the rest of the day. I quit drinking soda years ago for the most part (still drink it occasionally but rarely) in college
