This sounds pretty great. I have much respect for DIY solutions. Is there any chance you or anyone else could point me to a howto or something similar?

As others have pointed out, it's funny how this is a problem for Democrats and/or scientists. Shouldn't _Republicans_ be worried about that? I guess this presupposes that you believe in all that "scientific method" nonsense as opposed to, s

This article drives me up a wall. "The choices then are these--work within the stereotypes or be careful in situations to not activate gender stereotypes." Really? Those are the only choices? Wow. Forget about changing attitudes or anything

And it's this kind of reaction that makes vegans irritable, when you tar an entire class of people with a small subset's behavior. :) Seriously, though, can you blame 'em? Take whatever uninformed opinion somebody has about something near a

"1 final note: It's a LOT easier to find people for jobs if you offer better salary. Nobody ever mentions that when they're complaining that they can't find people to hire. Instead, they blame the 'market' or the 'government' and keep their

My family lives on the east coast. I live on the west coast. Christmas and family vacations are the only time I get to spend time with my mother, father, sister, and brother. My parents are getting older--- I see them seldom enough that eve

To anywhere near the extent that women do? Be serious. I mean, of course it happens. Sure. There are billions of people on this planet. But you're gesturing a dripping faucet while others are pointing at a gaping hole in the roof .

It would be pretty remarkable. But no, I wouldn't be as upset. Men don't have a history of being sexually assaulted by women, and then experiencing skepticism and anger when they tell the community about it. Hell, let's be honest: a non-tri

"I was hoping that it was possible to separate the issue of the assailant's responsibility from taking care of one's own personal safety. It seems to me that these discussions are never able to do that." This distinction may exist in theory

This line of reasoning is typically used to let people off the hook for sexual assault. I get what you're saying--- you're making a practical argument, here, that people have to protect themselves. She didn't do anything extraordinary, thou

"CSS+JavaScript has the same exact problem" I don't have anything but anecdotal data to back this up, which is a huge caveat. Please feel free to knock this down. But I have to ask: have we seen as much improvement in Flash performance as w

I thought that name sounded familiar. He mentions it in passing, but this is one of the guys who wrote the Bell Curve. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bell_Curve I'd seriously question his credibility on this topic. A bunch of cherry-pic

They talk a good talk, but they really don't care about elites except through the narrow parameters they define--- they're angry about liberal or educated elites, not the rich folks funding them or buying elections. It's about identity poli

It's this kind of magic that attracted me to Vim in the first place. I watched a professor doing that stuff in front of class and my jaw dropped. The circle was complete when a coworker watching me modify some code had a similar reaction. (

I might've found this out through HN, in which case this'll be redundant. Still, I'll risk it: http://vimcasts.org/ is a good resource. This fellow puts up bite-sized, five minute screencasts of various Vim-related features. Some of the '

You should give ci' or ci( or ci[ or ci" a try. (You could also use ci) or ci] if you prefer.) Do it on a line where there is a pair of quotes, parens, brackets, etc.

Ha! I used awesomewm for a while, myself. Alt was the default in Hardy, so when I upgraded to Lucid, I remapped it from Win to Alt. No idea why there aren't many mechanical ergonomic boards, though. I'm actually surprised by the extent to w

I understand the sentiment. I really do. But the reality is that nobody else has even showed up. It's about the iPad because it's the only product out there. It's all the more shocking when you go back and read a lot of the analysis back in

For my part, I don't use awk for anything more complicated than one-liners. I used it for a while, stopped when I was working on something else, and forgot all the awk-specific stuff. My MO these days is if it's anything more complicated th

Honestly, I wish we could enact a moratorium on using the -gate suffix. Things that'd warrant it would be rare enough that we could make exceptions as they arose. Also, I'd like a pony. And free money.

Our un-winnable and unending adventures in Afghanistan and Iraq are orders of magnitude more costly than wages and benefits for federal employees. This is not to mention the cost of the Bush tax cuts. http://www.cbpp.org/cms/index.cfm?fa=v

As soon as he brought up Social Security as the problem instead of, you know, two Trillion Dollar Infinite Wars^W^W^W^W infinite wars costing trillions or the Bush tax cuts, I stopped reading.
