This affects me, though through backups and using Dropbox primarily as a sync service I don't think I've lost anything (I've got a decent sized list of zero byte files to go through). I've confirmed files that should contain something (nav

His podcasts with the transcripts are great. A transcript should be the expectation for every well produced podcast. It not only helps those who prefer text and those who would prefer to skim the content, it aids those who aren't watching t

I've done a bit of this and I suspect a few others have considered something similar, if not doing it themselves. I'm concerned about leaking a couple of these types of passwords, enough for someone to notice the pattern and apply it to the

I think we subconsciously evaluate most of our relationships through the lens of previous relationships. We compare our first boss to our fathers and mothers and teachers, previous authority figures. We compare our co-workers to our friends

I built my last desktop to be fairly quiet, low RPM fans in the case, a power supply and video card chosen for their reputation for quiet. Unfortunately I routed the front panel audio cables next to the SATA and until I re-routed them, I ha
