"I've never been able to get Linux to give me this many file descriptors." What do you mean precisely? Do you mean that even with proper ulimit, sysctl, etc setup Linux fails to give you this many descriptors?

Care to elaborate?

Certainly sounds interesting!

Heh, now my comment does not make any sense! Oh well. :)

"Maybe women want a little mystery. What is he looking at? Slashdot? Or Engadget?" That made me chuckle. Yes, that's _exactly_ what she is wondering!

Forget about scratching your knee if you have an in-flight itch! I get claustrophobic just looking at that thing.

Hmm, I'd imagine that most big organizations already have something like Kindling already. Yahoo! did when I worked there for instance.

Every time I see "daily" misspelled as "dialy" I read it like Bialystock and end up quoting _The Producers_. This kind of thing happens to me a lot. It's like my subconscious _wants_ wants me to be distracted easily!

Some say that Tom learned his trade from Richard and then became the true electronic music master. I love how he incorporates bass into electronic music. Just excellent.

Oh, that stinks! In Firefox on Mac OS X I don't hear a click. I'm not sure I would've posted this site if I heard clicks!

This is a great idea and will make for a fun weekend project. Thanks for the idea.

Yes, and that is an example of what I find to be sad. Also, I did try to emphasize "_should be_" in my comment. It is not realistic, it is what I personally consider to be "better" (basic math skills over reliance on a calculator). Perhap

I take your point. There is just so much crazy-talk out there that sometimes my spidey-sense kicks in too early I suppose.

Such a calculation _should be_ something anyone on Earth over the age of 6 (OK I said 4th grade so 8-9) should be able to handle in their head without being handheld by a handheld [calculator].

I think I am missing something here. People are told the initial price and a few minutes later the sale price and are asked to _estimate_ the savings as a percentage of the original? Are we this horribly bad at basic fourth grade math?

Blogspam. Blah blah, "I didn't pay attention initially", blah blah, "here's a condensed version of their site", blah blah. Just link to the original site then if you have nothing to offer.

Well, now I know how the Cocteau Twins made their sounds in the 80s!

Pragmata is very nice, but I tend to stick with 6x13.

FUD. People can always do something bad. Hiding information from them so they cannot do something bad such as recreating influenza from 1918 is a horrible idea in my opinion, and intuitively seems like an impossible task anyway. "The invent

This is sensationalistic at best. There is no story here. Of _course_ Woz plays with every gadget under the sun. Of _course_ he has good and bad things to say about the iPhone too.

This makes me happy. I tried to make 6x13 for OS X a while back: http://fontstruct.fontshop.com/fontstructions/show/6x13_redu... Then I discovered the full set of characters (er, codepoints?) supported and pulled the emergency brake on th

This was the best part of the referenced page: "Don’t be such a suck up Dan." As if Carl here was just so damn annoyed that Dan beat him to "first DHH! First! Pick me for kickball!" I just picture Jan Brady as Carl: "Marsha Marsha Marsha!"
