You know what they say! The bigger they are...! Yahoo, I mean. Or shoes.. I guess that this saying would indeed apply to shoes as well. So I guess that Yahoo and shoes have two things in common. 'Being grounded' being the other on

The claim never was "diet soda helps you to lose weight". It's always been "with diet sodas you don't gain weight as fast as with sugary drinks."

Most of the time it's much better (as in, faster) to just use cat (or pv, to get a nice progress bar) for writing a file to a block device, because it streams, and lets underlying heuristics worry about block sizes and whatnot. So:

Can we get some arguments with that link, please? Just posting a link does not contribute to the discussion.

The thing about our sense of smell in particular, is that it has a direct neurological pathway to our limbic system, thus it bypasses many of the cognitive pathways and is able to directly trigger memories and associations. Just adding this

You know, actually I was very ambitious. But during one of the conversations I had with my girlfriend shortly after we became a couple, I started to realise that my ambitions were motivated by all of the wrong reasons. See, even though I lo

I became a full time father and results have been stellar. My boy is now one year old and turns out to be very clever... And very strong. He could crawl at seven months and started to learn how to walk at 11 months. His first word was '

Wow. The way this is molded is just a new low. Good going, mainstream media! The lower you go, the smellier it gets.

That's great. I hope it will be rewarding. It probably will be. I've quit most of what I was doing to dedicate myself as a stay at home dad to our newborn son. Best thing ever, it's a great kid. And frankly I'm doing a p

My parents (and many others' parents too, I'm sure) know this all too well. Sometimes at parties I still have to hear about all those times I caused the phone bill to become huge because I couldn't leave the CompuServe In

One thing to add: the only source I loyally follow is the No Agenda Show ( http://www.noagendashow.com - a podcast which I help out technically, fully pro bono) because they are the only source of media that has no advertisers to

I think this is inevitable. Even the effect of mass media going against so-called "fake news" won't have the effect they desire: In my estimation people will stop trusting and hence following all of it. It pays off, for as yo

I disagree. When I was close to becoming addicted to World of Warcraft, it was exactly this image that made me quit cold turkey. "Oh my, I'm turning into a battery for Blizzard." Humans as batteries, feeding the machine. It&#

Yeah man, and it has nothing to do with most media companies ending up being owned by just a few people. Give me a break.

Fun fact: we are used to seeing our own faces in the mirror image of how others see us. Thus, if you have a picture of yourself which you really dislike, mirror it and see if it helps - on photos we see our faces mirrored from what we'

What an non-constructive, cynical, depressing response. Grsecurity is a good product, components have been added to the kernel without proper attribution, and although Brad can admittedly add drama, how is this different from the drama

Oh man, I could write a book about this. A little over 10 months ago our first was born. A boy. And the first 6 months were like a crazy rollercoaster, personally and in the sense of finding balance in the dynamic between the both of us as
