Truthfully, I don't see why you'd be significantly more traumatized by this event than any other act of terrorism that happens across the globe unless you lost loved ones. To that end, I don't see why anyone else on this glob

You want to know how to make a perfect cup of coffee? It's easy. Make yourself perfect and then just brew naturally. EDIT: Jeez, downvoters clearly have never read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

I don't think going through more stringent checks when you fly qualify for "pain and horror". I mainly ask because you're using "the pain and horror" experienced by actual 9/11 victims and their families a

So....in other words you are provided with more assurance of your suspicions. Thus increased suspicion.

Did you really experience it (as in, you were in NYC at the time) or were you just a casual observer?

At the very least it confirms suspicions that you do in fact have metal on you. By removing doubt, you do increase suspicion.

In the case of startups, you get people interviewing that have very little interview experience.

You could make it a short take-home assignment where the code doesn't get used by the interviewing company and the assignment is short enough that the interviewee doesn't feel like they need to get paid for it. It would basically

I think recognizing Tesla for Elon Musk is reasonable considering he's the founder, CEO, and face of the company. The cars are making waves not for their design, but for their technology. If they were based on normal combustion engines

As a former mechanical engineer, it depends on your chosen course curriculum. Standard courses that all M.E.'s take generally don't cover topics like this. Instead, you deal at a more fundamental level with courses such as physics

Not trying to patronize you at all, and I apologize if it came off that way. I'd say that most people in the tech/hacker community aren't too well acquainted with consistent, dedicated exercise. It wouldn't be unreasonab

Not all exercise sessions are made equal. If you're just doing 10 pushups or 7 minute circuits for 6 months, you're still very much in the beginner phase. It took me a few years of consistent intense training to really get into th

First thing I thought of when I read the name was Designmodo's UI kit "The Bricks" - http://designmodo.com/the-bricks-addons/ When it comes to search, their kit might eclipse yours...at least for the tim

I certainly agree with your comment about sleep. For me, I generally lump sleep in with my exercise because I've been strict about getting a minimum of 7 hours of preferably uninterrupted sleep in order to maximize recovery from exerti

That's exactly how I feel about powerlifting. Once you get to a certain level, the attention to detail, specificity, and focus you need to progress are great analogues to other areas such as programming or entrepreneurship. It's b

I find that a hardcore workout works even better than alcohol. Not only do you get the same winding down effect in a short period of time (assuming you're really killing yourself and working to exhaustion in the gym), but you get a lot

I don't mean 13.04 in particular, I mean Ubuntu in general (though 13.04 does come with some nice UI updates). Before I became a developer, I used Windows. When I started trying to get into more serious development, trying to do it in

Ubuntu 13.04 and loving every minute of it. Dual-boot Windows 7 for various things like gaming and managing my Zune HD. I've considered running Mint or some other popular distro on an old laptop of mine.

This is a great point and I agree with you in the case of the Edge. Is it confirmed that the shopping/Amazon lens would be enabled by default on the Edge? I think this is a reasonable situation to argue for a disabled default.

I don't think that's an old-school mentality. Even in 'old-school' times, I don't think anyone would have picked up a free newspaper and said "this isn't free!" if it had ads in it. I don't reall

You don't expect it because it doesn't occur with other OS's, but it's common functionality with web search. I'd prefer that it was off by default, but if the only price I pay for what I find to be an excellent free

One of the great parts about it being Ubuntu is that you can simply remove the Amazon stuff: http://askubuntu.com/questions/192269/how-can-i-remove-amazo... I'm running Ubuntu right now and love it. I do wish

Considering everyone on the internet is being logged in some sort of way by various entities at all times, I think most are used to it by now. The government may have judicial powers, but I think most people have accepted being tracked by t

Terrible spec-violating hack aside, the idea of the author soliciting upvotes on StackOverflow doesn't sit well with me. I'd hate for SO solutions to become diluted by answers from users who are 'marketing' for upvotes.

It's comical not just because they're claiming a silly trademark infringement, but because the whole company was built off of copying existing games.

Efficient != lazy Inquisitive != dumb I agree with the overall gist of the article, but the title is obvious link-bait and his valid points have been twisted just to fit it.

I'm sure there are Windows and Mac equivalents, but Ubuntu has a timed screenshot option. It would be fairly easy to just set the timer, go the the website, and wait. But I agree, most people probably won't care enough or think of

Because of the last time a 3d printed cracker bot tried to hack my phone, I now use Android's text password option instead of a pin. Combined with the Swype keyboard, it's actually much easier to unlock my phone than before. You g
