I'm cheap . Although it's an excellent question whether I spent more in electricity than I saved in fixing/buying systems. But I definitely saved inconvenience.

I almost never powered off my Dell XPS R 450 for ten years; laziness and the theory of avoiding powerup/powerdown stress on connections. It lasted ten years. I replaced one of the two HDs once. I got rid of it for noise and not worth upgrad

Obviously none of us knows how the woman's therapist or other professional counseled her. But I can imagine a mental health professional telling someone "you should try to get out. Don't lock yourself at home. Go out with friends. Go to the

I was planning to use them in a web app. I wonder where that leaves ... everybody? Will Tufte have to license his own invention for a future book or app? It would be odd, considering that Microsoft names Tufte as the inventor on the posted

There is an automated reason why this guy's having trouble. Google could easily look up a text string they've stored, based on that reason, and tack it on to the guy's account. Something more specific than the unhelpful low quality message

The reason they're drawn scary is to support the theory of Neanderthal as cannibal. I'm not saying Neanderthal's didn't eat and rape humans, I'm just pointing out that the authors would be unlikely to include pictures of cuddly Neanderthals

When what you're doing isn't working, try anything else. Simplistic, but true nonetheless. The sum of your life isn't working for you, so you should definitely act and change something. Don't think "I should be happy because I have these

Hint: Effect is a noun; affect is a verb. Hint: 'E' stands for Effect and Entity (a noun). 'A' stands for Affect and Action (a verb). Except sometimes we accept "effect" as a verb: http://www.wsu.edu/~brians/errors/affect.html

I remember there was this company that had exclusive deals with content providers, in the early Web days. Oh - AOL - that was it. In fact I think I still have one of their CDs lying around somewhere. I remember Scientific American being beh

Knowing whether I could generate anything more advanced than what was shown on the available worksheets stopped me from bothering to register. In other words, having to register in order to discover if "this is it or there's more" was an im

Presumably it couldn't be eaten by man or beast. Oh, but it could. My assumption is that it's a near certainty that some enterprising contractor would sell this stuff as feed, regardless of the damage to animals and humans.

I have found that I ended up watching a lot more varied and interesting stuff when I can search as opposed to just watching whats on. Wow. The seeds of mainstream TV's destruction right there. I think this is a fundamental part of the new

As CEO, he is a company shirt. So if he, and his HR department, are OK with employees wearing company shirts at Burning Man (while also - ahem - half-naked), he's OK. Otherwise, not so much. I think he should keep his pictures up, but thi

Contrast this "guard your wi-fi" warning with Schneier's 2008 "open your wi-fi" invitation. http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2008/01/my_open_wirele... Schneier basically lists a bunch of reasons why you should NOT allow open access t

This whole thing reminds me, also, of the GetSatisfaction pile. Bottom line at the top, I doubt if HiveMind is illegal, but I believe the phone number hijacking is unethical. But what this also reminds me of is news organizations' objection

Cool, but why do you need to go to http://tonidoplug.com/ip to discover your plug? Do I want Tonido to know that? Having to buy from their App Store to get more cool things would bug me too, since I already paid $99.

One of the roles of a good teacher is to be able to look at the face and body language of a student and think "he's not getting it, I'll try another approach." Another is to draw a student out, or egg someone on, like a conductor. There's a

Various comments on whether or not we evolved for long distance running, rock climbing, swimming, whatever. It seems likely that, just as we are omnivores, we evolved to dominate the niche called "generalist," and that's what makes us the b

["should surprise"---what does that even mean? What if it doesn't surprise? Would that also be a surprise?] It means that they are expected to exceed expectations. HTH. :)
