It's exactly that sort of insensitivity that makes the Open Source culture so toxic. You don't even preemptively apologize for comments that might be offensive in a way that you didn't intend because of your innate privilege.

Between industry, offices, and schools, I bring earplugs with me everywhere and hand them out to people who have to work in these types of environments. A lot of the time, people can't get away to hear themselves think, and it stresses

So it's similar to what happened following the adoption of metal helmets over cloth hats in WW1; injuries increased significantly because immediately attributable casualties decreased. The helmets stopped soldiers from dying but didn&#

Since realizing most people only have coffee makers and microwaves and are missing out on tools to simplify making great tea, I've made it a habit of giving out airports (dewar flask pump liquid dispensers) as gifts to everyone I know

"...[Steve] Jobs (who could not be reached for comment)..." I did a double-take after reading that line before I noticed the publish date.

Oh yeah, Cucumber Quest ( http://cucumber.gigidigi.com ) is pretty excellent for any age and has multiple female protagonists.

You can call your carrier and request they unlock the device('s bootloader). There are also a few services that you can send some information to that will unlock it for a small fee. These sorts of shenanigans are a big part of why I ha

Every time I hear someone talk about hacking, I have to pause and remind myself that most people who use the term really don't know what they mean by it. It's like of like asking if he "nebulously computer crimed" the se

If you still have the screen, the ATSC_THTF_SY14343_ST2975C_CMI_V500dk1_P01_20140707 FW improves the apparent responsiveness of movements at 2160. It's still 30Hz, but feels closer to 50. Includes other improvements as well.

To explain this comment, flashing the 39" model to the 50" FW enables true 1080_120 display mode, as opposed to the stock FW's frame doubling. 2160 is limited to 30Hz, but that's hardly an issue for anything but games, m

I've been using a SE39UY04 under Linux for the past year at about a two foot viewing distance, and it's no strain to use. I'm slightly elevated to its center because I use a stationary bike as my chair, which also allows me t

Nothing, but it reduces the conditions of the variables, which is handier than nothing.

You're totally right, the product exists, but access is still a problem. Mobility is a tremendous issue to people in poverty, which is as intended in some cities with populations with large wealth gaps. If a family has one car, the per

It's more of a semantics issue from bad intel and some FUDdy massaging of the definitions along the way, but I see how you got there. Iraq had chemical weapons, and, if you've seen the news, we found them in 2006, although it wasn

I think a brunt of the issue is that their exploitation is what is being used to generate that "significant value". Here's an article about the latest NCAA reform vote on [edit: student-]athlete compensation: http:/&#x

I don't, and I see that I implied synthesis when I should have said that they only inhibit its reuptake, except for amphetamine, which also stimulates dopamine release. Here's a general article on it: http://www.ncbi.nl

Sufferers of schizophrenia have also been shown to have a very strong preference for smoking tobacco, so the question still remains unanswered whether people with schizophrenic tendency merely have that similar preference for marijuana, and

Sounds more like an issue with time management at home. A very permissive schedule might be: no games or internet until after 8pm, one hour limit, weekdays only. Weekends, up to two hours total, after family activities, chores, etc. I suppo

Yes, and I believe that's loosely covered under the blanket of reciprocity systems in anthropology.

Instead of a recovering alcoholic, perhaps a teetotaler or other person sober on principle would be a better comparison. I've never believed gods could exist or had religion, and thoughts otherwise wouldn't tempt me.

They're worried that if they charged $400bil and the government paid with a 400 billion dollar bill, someone could just pocket it. This way, they'd have to make change for $1 billion from the till.

Yeah, but this is maybe a ten hour job for an amateur using free (OSS) tools, and it's to keep a much bigger investment where it can make money. Estimate about three hours per hour of footage to transcribe, then two to three times the
