Well, we're already saying the second part.

Washington is actually a much better example of an organic-ish area, in terms of street grain. This is pretty ironic, given that the City of Washington (originally just one part of the District of Columbia) was totally planned.

"For Life" is in the same way that SCOTUS justices have an appointment "for life". It just means they can't be fired or deposed, not that they can only leave in a box.

I'm 23 and have had my caffeine. It's neither your age nor your decaffeineity that makes this seem wooden.

Counter-counterpoint: all of your counterpoints exist or have equivalents in every other form of communication. You swap unicode (which is nearly universally agreed on) for H.264/Theora/VP8 and AAC/Vorbis/Opus, and you s

I don't know about how TFL will do it, but WMATA in Washington, DC did and will employ the same number of people under automatic operation as it does under manual operation. They were mostly just there to watch for problems and open th

Grown men ? You could've just said "adults". You're making an implication you don't want to, I hope, and one which needlessly maligns a whole group of people. That's the same thing pekk was responding to, albe

I've been completely unable to get it to recognize an inverted interrobang (⸘) with no luck, though. Still, very very cool. EDIT: Tried one more time and got it as the 9th suggestion.

My old ThinkPad is near the end of its life (the screen is falling off…) and needs to be replaced. There's absolutely nothing out there that looks like a decent replacement, though. Worse yet, I also like not to have a separate numbe

I haven't looked too deep in that sub, but maybe there are some going on that just don't make the front page? There are some weird ones occasionally, mostly people who've had some sort of surgery or health problem, from what

> increase the level of quality of content and discussion across the board. Would this mean I couldn't launch this unintended pun into a long thread of puns that eventually winds up at "I did Nazi that coming"?

>CentOS4 legacy system Jesus. That's been out of support for well over 2 years. I can't imagine this is the only problem it has. I'm curious: what's keeping the organization from upgrading it?

Not sure where you get that they're ignoring it. TFA says nothing of taxes, and that burden falls on the buyer anyway. Unless you're saying that the IRS's guidelines mean it can't be used to buy things for some reason,

The issue is that plenty of people come in spouting complete nonsense that they "know" about their health, and they're usually wrong. It creates a default reaction. Imagine someone coming in and saying they can't send em

NYC Subway fares are always $2.50. Really, as confusing fares go, this is nothing compared to DC's Metro. At the top of the machine, above the head of anyone who can actually fit in the train, there's a massive listing of fares to

It kept infuriatingly moving to the next item before I could finish reading. Proves the point, I suppose.

And Atlassian, sort of. When they feel like it. BB uses Markdown, but most of their other stuff is something else entirely.

The way to remember it is just that you're parenthesizing the URL. Naturally, you might write it "look at this thing ( http://example.com)" - in Markdown, you do the same, but with brackets to indicate where you wa

Canada might. They're pretty tight with the US, and fake US currency is still a diplomatic problem for them. Film in Iran, however, and they probably wouldn't care at all.

The thing that stops them is the lack of a reason to start them. Why would Goldman throw that much money at a new system, rather than using the existing one? Bitcoin has an existing user and development base; it's proven, whether it&#x

Why have an icon font for ℃ and ℉ instead of just using ℃ and ℉? There are probably Unicode codepoints for others in this set, too.

What do you mean by "just disappear"? People lose it, but because they lose the keys or passwords. It's not like the protocol causes it to poof away out of nowhere. It's entirely user error, and not terribly hard errors

Nothing is illegal yet. The regulations have been proposed, but there's still a 45-day comment period that hasn't started yet. I don't know if there are more comment/review periods after that. Moreover, as I understood i

Better than set -e is trapping ERR. You can set up a trap that prints out the command that failed, and the line it's on, rather than just dying quietly like set -e does. It's much easier to debug that than trying to work ahead fro

I think that's absolutely reasonable to penalize. From a technical perspective, returning a different resource depending on the scheme of the URI is absolutely acceptable, but from a UX standpoint it's ridiculous to have a differe
