I have just the opposite experience. My current setup: cheap charger (sub £20, http://www.euroffice.co.uk/i/lcg2/Energizer-Maxi-Battery-Cha... ) and simple rechargeables ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Uniross-AA-2700mAh-Performance-Batte... ).

Sorry to bring this up, but what about the impact on environment? Sure, you can replace cheap batteries more often, but that means you're increasing the environment pollution by doing that (you need to recycle more batteries).

This is the thing. Even if you do wash your hands, you still need to get grip of the restroom door handle or two. And who knows, who's touched it before you...

You raise a good point here about what property actually is. I'd like to extend on this concept and add ownership into equation. In the example with an apple. I own it, therefore only I can eat it. It is my property. Now what happens if I g

Just another angle to approach the problem: I suppose one way to fight this is to develop some sort of "multiple personalities" behaviour and habits. There's "normal A" me, who goes to work every day, using the same route, checking the same

The concept and implementation is nice. But for the sake of the planet I would not get one, nor would I recommend it either.

See, someone should "know" that it's a piece of art. Just by looking at it wouldn't be enough. Someone has to tell someone else that it's an art. And exactly that type of art is something I cannot digest. So, Pollock: http://www.terraingal

just one comment on that paper. "the most aesthetically pleasing rectangle" experiment I think is flawed. when you present someone with 4 figures it is easier to unconsciously pick the actually "most pleasing" because your brain is ok with

Just out of sheer curiosity, what is the type of the development work you mentioned in the article? Reason I'm asking is that while perhaps it cannot (conveniently) be done on Windows (OS on Lenovo), I'm wondering why OSX cannot be used as

Neither Python nor Ruby are best suited for one-liners that the author is emphasising. One liners are bash-fu or commandline-fu. Anything above 100 lines (just a figure from the article) is what Python or Ruby should be used for. Last 10 li

Which is a shame really. No, I understand that from a customer POV, and I usually do (did) the same, but now being on the other side of the fence I feel the pain of all those small just-starting-out e-shops. Can't compete on price as you're

ok let me apply some "science" to this. where did 70% come from? it's a very convenient number as it gives just below 50% outcome, to "prove" that "more often than not" our assumptions are wrong. let's bump this "guestimate" by 1%. and, who

I wonder if any of that has to be said at all? What if a lecturer did not set this prejudice upfront at all? However helpful emotions are in the learning process, saying "this is tricky" or "this is easy" is not going to help. Instead, play

I agree, you can't apply this as a rule, but in my experience (unfortunately) it's often the case. From what I've seen, a typical 'assault team' consists of: 'account manager' (usually clueless), 'sales manager' (same) and a 'technical pers
