Interesting history! Although I question whether a special symbol is even needed. The key in question already has the word "Command" written on it. Adding the symbol seems redundant and confusing, especially since it is not a universally kn

Thanks for sharing the interesting historical data! It does sound like buying may be the optimal choice in your real estate market, especially if you are planning on staying put for a long time. I do think for the near future, rent will con

My rent increased between five and ten percent every year the five years prior to buying my home. Please check my math: using your numbers and averaging to 7.5 percent per year, that would be a cumulative increase of (1.075)^5 = 1.44 = 44

Scroll marker support (a la Opera[1], although Opera seems to have dropped support for it) would be excellent! This would be a visual indicator on the screen marking the previous bottom of the screen when the user hits space or page down. [

The title is a bit misleading. The passphrase "this is fun" may be 10 time harder to brute-force than "J4fS!2", but both are hard enough that nobody would bother trying to brute force attack them. So they both are equally acceptable. I per

As much as I hate the nickel-and-diming that the airlines are doing right now, I can't see any alternative. The aggregator web sites (such as kayak.com) don't indicate to the buyer that the higher price comes with added value. Until that h

This looks like the derivative of a constant value, which is always going to be zero. I reloaded the page several times, and each time, no matter how complex the formula looked, it was always a constant. Still, it is cute.

According to cnet[1]: "Correction at 12:04 p.m.: After this story was published, we heard from PBS producer Michael Bicks that it was not, in fact, Watson that crashed during the show's taping. He would like to make clear the following: "I

I don't see that option on Linux v.8.0.552.224. But maybe I need a Chrome upgrade. Thanks for the tip, I'll try and get it working!

Awesome extension! An option to hide the icon from the toolbar would be nice.

I fell in love with fish while watching a video tutorial for Babushka[1]. I immediately switched all of my boxes over to it as the default shell. Switching over decades of bash scripts was tough at first, but I bought into the whole simpl

or, more neutrally: "myusername has not listed their skills." This is incorrect grammar (the subject and pronoun should agree)! Something like "myusername's skills have not been listed" would be ok.

Turbo Tax is also an option. It correctly handles this sort of income.

In addition to the many great suggestions already made, here are a few more: Rent a (road) bicycle and ride a nice 2-hour loop along the waterfront (starting at OMSI and going along the Springwater Corridor) Rent a (mountain) bike and bike

One big concern with real estate is that properties are extremely undiversified investments that have high transaction costs, high holding costs (taxes and maintenance), and low liquidity. The example of Amsterdam's housing prices comes to

My ThinkPad came with three styles to choose from. The original style, which I think you're referring to, did wear down after about a year. But it's easy and cheap to get replacements (and some backups are often included). The style I li
