Unless you're Australia, where we shut down our geothermal trials after some early success. Ignore those rocks that are already hot, let's keep digging up these black ones and burning them!

I didn't know that, but it's cool, and I think shows that Microsoft had a healthy culture. If you can laugh at yourself, you can learn and grow. Companies aren't a monolithic hive-mind (even Microsoft!) I still love that vide

But then the Ctrl+Shift+T feature to reopen closed tabs wouldn't work so well. Try it, you can reopen closed tabs as far back as you like; it's pretty awesome and has saved me more than once. It doesn't work in Private Mode (for good reaso

I found it easier to pick up visually as well, and thus more difficult to hide from anyone who may be trying to see it. On the other hand it's really hard to describe your gesture to someone if you're lending them your phone, unlike a PIN w

I was mugged in London 4 months ago. In broad daylight, the guy caught me off guard and pushed me to the ground. When I tell people there's usually someone who tells me I should have fought back, or whatever. And I went through relief, ange
