   I'm a new (small) farmer, and I've just begun selling eggs from my small (70 hens) to neighbors, and they're often surprised when they see that the eggs are not refrigerated. I do have conversations a lot about this, and folks are often sur

   New York, NY -- IT consultant for managed services provider We're a fast-growing company providing IT consulting and helpdesk services for small businesses in the NYC and north NJ area. It's a "level 3" engineer job- you'd be taking escalat

   Yes. What are you talking about.

   Yes. I already have a weather icon on my iPhone that doesn't show the actual weather until I open it. Right now it tells me it's 73 and sunny!

   I'm referring more to the "like wild Indians" comment, which is qualified by a cute remark intended to clarify exactly which culture is supposed to be offended there. I'm not being PC.

   > While making no call on the politeness of the phrase, "feather not dot" is one of the best I've read in days. Really? It was an inappropriate remark, I was surprised to read it and even more surprised to see it lauded by someone else.

   When I search for "1483", my only result is 2684, which supersedes it. But when I try to view it, I'm told "The source XML for this RFC isn't available, therefore it can't be reformatted." Did the IETF shut you down? I don't think the origi

   It's funny that you enjoy the "top pictures" tab, as that's really one of my least-favorite parts of the app! I appreciate the intimate photo sharing with my immediate circle, but to see the stuff that floats to the top really makes me ques

   Wow, good for them. I've been with them since they were "I'm In Like With You," a fun but pointless "social flirting" site (at least, that's my memory of what it was) before they turned to social gaming. I didn't think they were going to ma

    This would help for apple.com as well- I can never tell whether it's a link to an App Store product, or an official Apple page.

    Thanks for posting this. The laugh in here for me was watching the person to the right of the podium try to hold in their giggles.

    Brings to mind this classic 60's Mad Magazine article "If kids designed their own Xmas toys." http://thatsmyskull.blogspot.com/2005/12/mad-magazine-if-kid... This is great!

    When you're experimenting with bioinformatics (specifically in R), are there sample data sets you can run queries on? What have you been using?

    This is exciting! Thanks for sharing. I wish I'd had this last week when I had 25 new Macbooks unboxed in my office, downloading updates from the web for each one.

    "Early versions of Windows also came with "Write," a word processor that had more features than Notepad but was later phased out in favor of Microsoft Word." Looks to still be there to me, as WordPad. And "write.exe" at the command line sti

    I think you'd benefit from replacing the screenshot of the "my office scheduling" page on the homepage, with an explanatory graphic. The text there is too small to read, but I found myself squinting to make it out to try to glean the featur

    No reason for this to be a joke. I saw this product in Popular Science about 8-10 years ago, when I had a subscription. Seems like there's a pretty narrow market for something like this- lots of higher-end 35mm cameras are already compatibl

    This has been true for me as well. Moving was completely necessary for me to really get things rolling with Jabbik.
