Haha, yeah, you know when you're in a plane just before take-off and the attendants walk up and down the aisles with (presumably) insecticide bombs spewing mist... :/

I realise that i'm probably in a vanishing minority, but give me a few mm's of extra thickness for replaceability of parts any day! The 13" 2009 Macbook i refer to is (for me) fine as far as weight and thickness go, while pr

Or, John was set upon going to the movies tonight, but his friend refused to join him. Admittedly, that sounds a bit old-fashioned.

Could you elaborate? What are macros and micros, and how can i measure them? Assume i'm hypothetically interested in trying the (C)GM method of diet modification.

I don't know about refunded, but i did in fact get rebooked (free of charge) onto a later connecting flight after exactly that happened to me. I don't know if that's something you can count on, though -- especially if it&#x2

Ugh, i just fat-fingered the downvote button. Now i'll have to unmask myself to show my amusement and almost-wishing-it'd-happen at this idea.

Haha, interesting -- i've had a similar functionality that i hacked into my window manager (XMonad) forever ago. I have an arbitrary keystroke that grabs the highlighted (x clipboard) text, raises a running firefox instance, and plugs

That's a seriously cool project by Gianluca :). I'm surprised by the diversity of the bikes that come out of the sample -- and what's with so many people attaching both wheels to the chain? Some of the designs look like the

Wow, that looks really good. I have rockstar-level (probably more, TBH) respect and admiration for serious professional chefs. Maybe i should do the inverse career switch, but i'm not sure i'd know where to begin. You must be po

Simply commenting on the title, but it struck me that you can probably say “Some of the most popular $X get the least respect from $X enthusiasts” — examples of X that come to mind are music, food, wine, ….

That's one side of it, and it's a pretty common rebuttal to hear. I have some thoughts on that. If tomorrow all gun possession (except perhaps by LEO, but even that is debatable IMHO) was made illegal, then within one year i&#x27

Absolutely. I'm consistently surprised that things like [1] are not seen as absurd and even illegal. I found another article, "Gun homicides in Poland are about as common as deaths from bicycle riders being hit by cars in the Un

That's a pretty serious straw man you've set up. There isn't a single-axis spectrum of characters ranging from smooth-talking bullshitters to straight-talking foul-mouthed Linuses (sp?). The fact of the matter is that one ca

I really find it a poor show, Linus running his mouth like that, and all the others scurrying to reply deferentially and civilly to his adolescent rant (whether he is technically right or not, which doesn't even seem clear from the fol
