   Something akin to Jeff Atwood's "Personal Brand" [1] -- something I would put on my personal calling cards, my blog, that sort of thing. The question, though, could just as easily apply to a startup logo. Right now, the design I've sketched

   Here's a vote for the capslock/esc remap. I've got it as a global remap and have gotten used to it in other apps as well (canceling a dialog, for instance). Couldn't live without it.

   Why can't we dispense with the annotation completely? BC/BCE counts backwards, so let's just say 1970 or -1970. edit: posted this before I saw Groxx's reply below

   I used to be that way, but now I just don't worry about it. $10 to buy someone some food at Taco Bell isn't going to break me, and there's a chance it will help someone, so why lose sleep over it?

    My current employer maintains and develops several Eclipse RCP apps. Google Earth, last I checked, is Eclipse-based. It's not that unheard-of, even these days.

    I've been trying to find reliable sources that say one way or the other about Maryland (my current state of residence). Do you have any links? I did find this ( http://www.rcfp.org/taping/states/maryland.html ) which says that MD state cour

    What to do for the situation of actively liking a book, but getting bogged down because it's (for example) huge. With a series, you can take a break between installments. I read the first Otherland book several months ago, and I'm just now
