Further your point that ti has been integrated into our culture, I've read interesting pieces (probably linked by HackerNews) where it was integral to the founding of culture at all. We're a pretty edgy species, and alcohol has h

My wife and I have elected for no A/C in the city for the last 5 years. Pretty much an experiment in stubbornness, but I'm sure it's also saved real money in electricity and we're also probably so skinny because of it.

It's only marginally quieter with the windows closed ... and our's are always open anyways. Was down in FL on vacation and the wife kept waking up because of the faintest repeating buzz since it was the only noise.

They say they don't keep shadow profiles of your external Web traffic [though I can't imagine that's true]. In line with other responses, I use a browser plugin that blocks all traffic to Facebook when I'm not on a faceb

I'm a little late to the party, but can't believe so few people brought up the lack of availability admitted in this article. The OP is admitting that the company's official stance of availability is that it will restore fro

Dyson? You're so far off ... it's clearly Darth Vader. I can't believe no one has recognized the classic Lucas handiwork. The helmet descending on the tangled mass of circuits. The signature triangular mouth piece is so cl

Hey bruv, another fellow alum from the engineering school. I agree with your sentiment regarding the value of connections, and that's where the premium cost of on-campus MS programs comes in. But there is a clear value to getting a degree

Except no GRE, which is removing another unnecessary barrier to entry. The admissions process also seems to be an effort-based process of testing out of some initial curriculum. Much better than studying for a standardized test.

It's about recruitment. Every IBank and top tier consulting firm recruits heavily from the Wharton graduating class. That's what you're paying for. You're also getting the opportunity (not guarantee) to get a top tier education - but that

OS X has an delightful affinity for Emacs bindings in standard implementations - try Ctrl-d to delete without leaving home row. Mind you, if you're in MS Word for Mac then you'll just have to suck on an egg: no Ctrl-d, Ctrl-a, Ctrl-e for yo

Assuming this guy wasn't naked when you posted this ... but he is now. This floated around on the interwebs a while ago - part of a vulnerability study that was posted to the blog detailing the approach for generating the set of camera feed

Check out the Oglaf.com landing page for a funny play on this paradox (somewhat NSFW ... really funny, too). It amounts to: * If over 18: Select "Over 18". * If not over 18: Get your parental guardian, who is over 18, to select "Not 18" on

Don't need rail, just rapid bus transit like Bogota. Have folks pre-pay so loading is snick-snick and give them an enforced lane to themselves. Bogota does it right, here. NYC is starting to follow a bit with the Select bus lines, as well

Arguably a little off topic, but it struck me that Louis XIV had a well known "trademark" of always wearing contrasting red soles and heels, and that this was even historically notable since he "protected" his trademark by not allowing peop

I'm a little late to this, but my wife and I share an iTunes account since we have shared devices. The fact that the same password is used to download a free app and to REMOTE WIPE my primary business machine is terrifying. I would li

This. I'm all of punishing the hell out of cabbies that cheat (e.g., fare refusals or the out-of-city overcharged fares that were discovered via GPS data), but the failure to get into the cab ruins the whole case. Get in the cab. State yo

Tracking doesn't start at "pressing Like", but the Like button is actually loaded from an HTTP call to Facebook's server with the referer of the site you're on ... so they know could (claim: don't) track every site you visit with any orig

All the responses about supply and demand aren't accounting for the fact that taxi drivers are a protected industry in New York. You are unionized, have benefits, and have protections preventing any ol' person from starting a taxi service

I'm OK with it because I see it as a necessary evil - always considering the worst implementations of any new rules. Right now we all have the same expectation of privacy - that is we have none if in public, and none if its a digitally dist

I'm completely with you on the reckless automated DMCA notice system. That does not seem to be the case here at all.

Was going to note the same thing. Pearson executed an appropriate request for taking down copyrighted material with all the rights for opposition that the DMCA enables. The question, which the link-bait-y article didn't bother answering, i

Couldn't stomach reading all the way through this. And I'm almost too afraid to add my comment lest it finds its way to your blog styled in bold followed by a "FUCK YOU" response. Keep it classy.

This is a very stereotypically asian way of comparing phones. For a long time, Japanese manufacturers fought it out with spec lists showing the most features or the greatest spec. Not really related to the mobiles in question, but an inter

Holy crap. Prior art was disregarded because the Apple patented methods couldn't run on the old hardware: >"And in example after example, when we put it to the test, the older prior art was just that. Not that there's anything [wrong]
