Is a recap of a TV show really worthy of an NYT op-ed slot? And is it really worth posting here? IMO, no on both counts.

And if you use the Recently Closed Tabs feature on the New Tab page, you can reopen sets of tabs that were all closed at once.

why do people link to these? Friedman is a cheesy, uninsightful, mostly bogus commentator.

This is entertaining. Is it intended to be serious at all? because having these 2 Q&As consecutively in the faq: --- Q : How/why did you make such a great OS? A : I thought - what would attract young users to Linux? So I created this

One thing that I've found entertaining in my short time on this site is the surprising number of semi-hidden features. It's almost like the In-N-Out of tech sites. And now I know where to find the secret menu :). Thanks!

Ah, but now we have to discuss the definition of smart: I think there's a distinct type of intelligence involved in not being a weird, smelly loser. In fact, the vast majority of people are at least moderately smart in this regard.

For the About page I'd probably go with a modified version of #3 myself... but then again I too am pretty reluctant about self-promotion and would rather talk about what excites me now than what I did 5 years ago.

The whole sig struck me as over-the-top and obnoxious, personally. "HERE IS A LIST SHOWING HOW IMPORTANT I AM." Hint - if you're really important, all you need to sign is your name.

1 point for irony. But seriously, this is a FUD headline. The statement that 39% of kids surveyed agree with is: "The information I find online is always correct." It's no stretch that this statement allows for children to silently consi

When I hear "creative cover letter" I think of something more than three to four paragraphs that cover an applicant's background, interests, and goals. It's an excellent cover letter, sure, but I fail to see much creativity with the form o

obviously there's a lot of variation between teachers, but I think this will only work for kids who wouldn't have tried in the first place. my HS latin teacher would probably have given those a B- or more likely a C. not bad, not great.

If this hypothetical person doesn't realize that he or she might need some savings to cover family expenses while devoting all or most of their time to a project that isn't generating revenue yet, I am skeptical of that person's ability to

I played Panic on Funkotron first, after which the original was painful and disappointing. Panic on Funkotron is fantastic though!

mentioning WoW inevitably leads me to consider the social component. Especially once I reached the endgame, one of the main sources of enjoyment in WoW was my interaction with other players. Sure, there were social aspects to arcade class

I still replay 1 & 2 every now and then, and I enjoyed Fallout 3 reasonably well, but I'm pretty confident it won't reach the same echelon of classic games as the first two. It's mediocre as a shooter and otherwise it's just a solid i

i was thinking the same thing. not ONE of them managed to get his wits together and say something to make it look at least a teensy bit less suspicious? seems like it would have been prudent to have even just a bit of a cover story prepa

I don't know if this was secretly your intention but on the basis of the hookah credentials presented in this post I am sold on that hookah bar. Name please??

I think the fact that this is comparable to sports or jazz is exactly the point. While I imagine that you'd have to go back prettaayyyy far to find the time when sports were demonized as anything from an utter sin to a slightly pitiable ti

i think you mean there's no privacy issue yet. facebook didn't have nearly the level of privacy hand-wringing that it does now when it was only open to students at select college campuses. but along came employers, and parents, and all

This one especially bothers me: "11. I had a long list of emails that were not separated by commas. I had the VA “clean it up” so that the emails were separated by commas." ... this is achievable in so many ways without resorting to a virtu

not sure why the reference to duct-tape. what's up with that? he and his wife are both engineers and they prototyped in the middle of the night -- every night!
