Sure, but it was the only primary source I could find for Drew Houston recounting his conversation with Steve Jobs. Most all the other coverage at the time was blogspam.

Sorry, nope. I'd have to be attacking the character of the person making the argument, and do so in an attempt to undermine their argument, for it to be ad hominem. I'm questioning the motives of someone who just released a data s

Koyaanisqatsi and Tron both did it in '82. I'm sure there are probably other, earlier examples, too.

That's far too easy to game, though, and even works on Wikipedia. Just the other day, I searched for a particular boutique marketing firm, and found they had a Wikipedia entry, complete with 20-30 references. All of which were basicall

Thanks for the detailed info. Sounds like it's still a bit further off than I'd like out of a primary machine, something I tried a few years ago (unsuccessfully).

Once it's set up and working the way you want, how often do you find yourself dealing with small issues?

Divvy has worked quite well for me. Spectacle and ShiftIt are two alternatives I later heard about, but haven't yet tried, so please let me know if you try them out and find a clear advantage to either (besides price).

"The Experiment" is comparing two different things. One's an issue of personal safety combined with elements of not fitting in, the other's an issue of not fitting in, combined with elements of career stressors. You say

His comment can only be read as "advocating warfare and violence as a solution to nation-state conflicts" if the reader injects it. If we can add a layer of conflict-resolution between open diplomacy and global thermonuclear war,

I think I know why you're getting down-voted, but it's an interesting and real issue. If you go a while, mostly digesting only tiny chunks of information, your brain optimizes around that and eventually becomes bad at dealing with

Cognitionism! Yeah, it's silly. I think it's not too unlike calling everything "hacking." I "hacked" my eyesight by looking out the window for a minute at the end of every chapter, etc. I moved more and lost we

Which would work really well in some geography. In mine, not so much. I have airports 15nm away that are meteorologically less relevant than some that are 50nm away.

It might overcomplicate it, but the Worst thing, while quite useful, would be more quickly useful if you could see the location of each element. E.g., show the low ceiling and then the ICAO code for that airport parenthetically, then high w
