Riding the public interest wave about the attacks in Paris makes making click-bait easier than ever! Additionally the article can be summarized as: "We don't know how the attacks were co-ordinated... so maybe strong…
There are some strange superstitions w.r.t. death in Japanese culture. In Japanese the number 4 sounds sort of like death so it's a number they avoid a lot (it's missing from many elevator options, similar to how 13 is…
The only real "issue" that article seems to take with the movies was that (A) it used a term that doesn't exist to describe a condition that does have an actual name and (B) it was a cheesy romcom. But I mean, do you…
Fighting a somewhat reasonable request with fraud seems right out of the gray zone and solidly in the territory of immorality.
Out of curiosity what are some of the things wrong with it?
>he wakes up every morning believing he is still in Germany in 2005, waiting to visit the dentist. Without a record of new experiences, the passing of time means nothing to him. Today, he only knows that there is a…
Just today I was actually thinking laziness was one of my greatest assets as a developer. Always trying to find a way to make my work do as much of itself as it can, haha.

Anecdotal, but I chat with a friend from San Francisco and he was telling me recently that he was feeling down because a funeral was coming up. It was about the 6th or 7th death of someone close to him that he had…
High school guidance counselors strongly encourage students into pursuing university. When I was in high school it didn't seem like there even was a viable option other than Computer Science, which I know now is largely…

>Boo, scary websites want to know where you are. Nothing wrong with being alarmed by a site that automatically plays music and wants to know where you live. If the cashier at Subway or any other stranger with whom…
Don't forget they told him this after they had rejected it twice previously on technical grounds. I think that this was clearly their issue but they tried to dissuade him with bogus technical reasons first to give him…
Clearly, having your password on the clipboard is a security issue. Storing your password in plain text, however, isn't. Gotta love half-assed security measures. :)
Kind of funny that the most perfect sphere ever observed in nature was staring us in the face this whole time. :) Also, how is it that this was only measured just recently? Astronomers suspected it was wider at the…
Anyone who argues that because it costs $0.99 it should just be free isn't worth debating with. On the other hand there are documented cases where charging more like $9.99 instead of $0.99 increase sales because the…
It actually is about Starbucks, not the coffee or the price. It's about you knowing that Starbucks is Starbucks no matter which street, city, state or country you find yourself in. Whether you love or hate it, it's at…
But it's not a gamble because it's the same every time. It's high quality every time. It has the weight of a quality brand behind it. Maybe it's a small gamble the first time you buy it, but after that it's not a…
Yay Opera! Also, if you're really using >= 256 classes in your CSS you may have more systemic problems than just cross-brwoser compatibility.
This is the kind of rage-inducing stuff that makes you want to choke a flight attendant. I cannot even imagine what it would feel like to be told over the phone that the company lost your child, and the baggage, and…
It'd be neat... but it would certainly be awkward to have to "empty" the toilet every week or so... I wonder if it's possible to make it fertilizer but with a minty fresh smell...
Playing devil's advocate here, but in his defense, he DOES usually answer the questions in the first sentence or two but then goes on to support his point of view as a whole in the next paragraph or two. (Keep in mind I…
... and people wonder why Canadians are largely happy with health care and don't like the idea of health insurance... Insurance companies scare me. To think they'd defend their client's killers in court after you've…
While I wonder about the specific numbers (his "150" is probably more like 20 for me) I have to admit it's certainly not much of a controversial statement to say that the person with >200 friends on Facebook isn't…
