I gave up on DDG. The !bang syntax fails, for me, in a pretty annoying way. "!django modles" sends you off to django's search page (as it should), but now I'm trapped in an inferior search engine. searching for just "django modles" retur

Technically, I could still buy 16oz of gold and have a pound... So I officially declare all my metaphorical gold is measured in international avoirdupois ounces. Which I learned about thanks to Wiki University. Thanks.

If you buy 16 ounces of gold then you have a pile of metal. 5, 10, 20 or 50 years from now it'll still be a one pound pile of metal. Bonds essentially offer the same deal, only you trade a pile of money now for a slightly larger pile of m

Are you taking issue with a company posting an apology on their own website? I'm not sure how that qualifies as micro-managing.

First, it's not my job to educate you. Go look it up yourself if you feel like commenting on it. The fact the original poster fabricated his post out of naked overconfident ignorance is more than enough to warrant a snide reply. His post

The wiki article on GPS encryption seems to say that stealing the key for one satellite is possible (720 gigabytes), but the master key at 26 terabytes seems slightly harder to sneak out in an email or USB key. Of course I'm a wiki expert
