Yup, same as WalMart, hehe. They're awful and evil and rahrahrah, but at 1am on Sunday when everywhere else is closed, they'll sell you a loaf of bread, electric drill, computer monitor, a case of beer, and new underwear, and the

People pay for Reddit Gold. I don't see why they wouldn't pay for an @reddit.com email address, too.

Wow, wish I had it that easy as a kid. Everybody I ever played with drew in the gallows to begin with, so you just had 6 misses (2x leg, 2x arm, body, head) before you lost.

Interesting, but as the article says, it's a young field. Far too young to draw any meaningful conclusions, but...certainly interesting.

I control one endpoint (the 'server' / computer being connected to), and to some reasonable extent, can dictate how the other end is setup. To the extent that it matters to me, both approaches solve the same problem, that is, I need to all

You could be right; I'm just asking for people's personal, specific preferences (e.g., exactly which VNC?). There's far too many different options out there to try them all, so I was hoping to get some names that people have found they lik

Anybody have any recommends for PCAnywhere-type services?

Exactly. The way I see it, you can think of a piece of code sort of like chain links. GPL code looks like this: http://ace.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pACE2-988564dt... AND it requires that ever piece 'below' it on the chain als

>2 Receive real time updates of cool links shared by people you like How do you handle a link that gets sent to the same person by two people? What about a link that you yourself sent? Can it be 'sent back' by somebody that you follow

3% in games would be worth a metric buttload of money, where the difference in 'playable on N Ghz CPU' and 'playable on N - 0.2 Ghz CPU' could double your potential buyers.

Varies by how long I've been awake. 5 - 6 hours on weeknights. 8 - 9 on weekends (but the entire 'day' - from time I woke up on Friday to time I wake up on Saturday, for instance - will be longer than 24hrs total). I can get by on 4 or 9

>Aaaaand wtf is with the creepy pics of young girls looking into the camera all over the site? That was my initial reaction, too. Unless there's a specific reason you're trying to target teen girls and no one else, you might mix it up

How do they make money, I wonder?

Edit: Ontopic: "So while Arc is not the perfect Lisp, it seems to be better for at least some kinds of programming than either of the leading alternatives." What kinds did you have in mind? Offtopic, but what exactly is that a picture of?

I love the MS 'Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000'. It feels a bit goofy at first, but it's really nice once you get used to it (There's this riser thing that goes on the front, so it puts your hands in a position where they fall down from th

Pretty standard etiquette for just about any irc room with a specific topic and a fairly steady, longstanding group of regulars, really. Still probably justified in being posted though, since people new to IRC regularly break that etiquett

I dunno. I don't think this guy has seen enough xkcd comics. Most easily meet the 'bizarre' requirement. Quite a few, especially the ones with a 'love' theme are cruel and / or naughty. They often involve 'in-jokes' that you'd have to be a

Handy app. Much more convenient than java clients. '/list' is pretty ugly, tho. :) Didn't test much beyond that and joining a chan to chat for a sec.

Handy. 'Recent' is used in a pretty loose way, though. Looks like anything in the last month is counted.

There's also the point that it's unlikely to be relevant beyond the next year or so.

Pretty funny. I don't think anything will ever top the simple 'printer on fire', though.

FF 2.0.0.10 and IE 7 (fully patched) both gave the error on a fully patched WinXP SP2 system, so I'm guessing it's a flash problem. I'm not at work atm so I can't check the specifics on the flash being used there, but it's whatever's the l

This is so true - you see this kind of thing constantly where somebody has inadvertently changed the way something looks and are suddenly lost. I think one of the defining characteristics of a good IT guy is knowing a bunch of different way

>You can purchase DRM-free songs by clicking "buy" on select players. Can you expand on that a bit? What do you mean by 'players' - like, WinAmp / WMP / etc. or like other members of the site? I use Amazon's music store, so that's kin

I downloaded this a long time ago. I lost interest in lisp, but I keep it around at work and home because it makes a damn fine calculator, especially when you have a multi-step problem. You can just type it in in the order that you would
