I've always been slightly on the fence about getting a motorcycle. One of the things I don't like is the noise so getting rid of that puts me a little close to actually getting myself in motion. (The other is the long regulatory period wher

Take this site with a huge grain of salt. It generally rewards easy professors and punishes hard ones. Many of the best teachers at my school had so-so records on the site because they weren't afraid of failing people. People that do aver

I guess this doesn't work for the majority of the population but I have a simple nice looking LaTeX template for my CV. Anytime I need to update it it's usually a question of a few minutes tops. It might've taken a bit longer for the initia

No, the half is the bathroom. So 3 1/2 is 3 rooms and a bathroom. The three rooms could be 2 bedrooms and a kitchen but it's more likely a bedroom, a living room and a kitchen.

I flagged this too. We shouldn't be posting "replies" to statements when the person replying is openly admitting he didn't read the statement. Also, the flip-flopping between Apple isn't this, but if they were well who cares anyway was real

And Pepsi is sure to have at least another drastic change in the future since I don't know a single person that doesn't think the current logo is terrible.

If you had read it 11 years ago would you have understood it? I relate to it a lot because I've had a similar "dropping out" urge for the last while. If I had read this over a decade ago when it was written it probably would have had little

I'm in the same situation. I don't want a gas guzzler so I'm waiting around for the electrics. I might get an electric motorcycle first though since new car models tend to have problems in their first year so I imagine the first year of a c

No offense intended but are you overweight? If not, how do you keep the weight off with that much consumption? Daily gym?

Is it really censorship though? This guy thinks it was probably ACK scan reports: http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/msg19609.html

According to this mailing group message it could very well be a security issue: http://www.merit.edu/mail.archives/nanog/msg19609.html That makes a lot more sense than AT&T going out of its way to censor 4chan anyway.

I suppose it's revenge for us exporting Molson. I'm sorry about that too. =(

Definitely agree. The font itself looks out of focus and starts giving me a headache if I stare at it too long but the idea itself was genius.

Is there any commonly accepted reason for this? I would've thought it would have been the exact opposite, something along the lines of: As engineering graduates with more money and insider knowledge send their children to engineering school

I hate those ads. They're the very definition of "uncanny valley". The women are just real looking enough so that they look human from a distance but closer they're very obviously cg plasticy. It's so creepy.

Oh, sorry about that. Quick suggestion so idiots like me won't get confused again: maybe edit the first comment in this thread and put a "this is us: http://www.browseology.com/ " in at the bottom?

I probably would've noticed the banner then, thanks. I love the keyboard shortcuts, just never heard about this one.

You guys at posterous seem to be mini-app geniuses. If I lived in SF I'd definitely be there.

I really wish Bill Gates would just stop with the PR company approved image he puts forth for the sake of Microsoft and be himself. These little candid glances make him seem like a guy I would've loved to hang out with had I been there back

Very very interesting. If it's not supposed to be secret, how does it work? Does it look for similarity of what you like or does it weight people in your feed and just skip x% of tweets from heavy low-value tweeters?

I'm not sure they'd actually love that. One of their big cash cows in poor countries where they have a lot of influence is using their seeds to basically steal land. The seeds from one field that paid for them will blow into another and gro

That's probably never going to happen though. Another big reason why Apple fans pay a premium is for the seamless integration experience that doesn't make you think. Since Apple controls 100% of the hardware it can ensure that there are nev

When it's just a tiny percentage of the overall trades, it doesn't really matter. As Goldman Sachs is now proving though, it can be wildly profitable. What happens if it eventually becomes the dominant form of trading? What does the stock m
