  1. > and the annoying OS

    "...It's just a flesh wound..."

  2. Whats to rage about w/ Linux?

    Like Apple used to warrant, it just works.

  3. Lost me at nothing but google login
  4. Its like everyone's arguing we should optimally live in darkness. As if 1. Humans didnt evolve living outdoors, 2. Everyone ages at the same rate 3. If they did, no one would ever get MM again. Like many things across the universe, too much of a good thing becomes bad. And "too much" varies considerably from one individual to the next. And no one in their 80s who avoided exposure to the sun is without wrinkles.
  5. Cattle is as Cattle does
  6. Anecdata: There are neurochemical upregulation effects to daily THC use over time, and upon discontinuance that upregulation (which can take months or even years to wear off and perhaps not) is in itself quite apparent.
  7. Way better than the DOJ UI but a pity the photo captions got stripped away
  8. I think it was was Les Claypool (of the band Primus) who said on some podcast that recording a studio album with its attendant very non-trivial costs is really just creating a very expensive business card to hand out to prospective clients.
  9. Ask it to solve a tough Euler Math puzzle with the search button on and it just copies the answer from the web. Turn search off and it actually computes the answer. Funny how the search button is taken away though.
  10. The Ottoman Empire kind of acknowledged the futility of trying to suppress corruption, opting instead to codify it and set thresholds for excessive abuse. Progressive for its day, it only partially succeeded since enforcement was no less prone to corrupt influence. As the romans famously said, “Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?” Literally: “Who will guard the guards themselves?”
  11. Sometimes its generated, and many times its not. Trivial to denote, but its been deemed non of your business.
  12. Who knew you could yearn so much for mousewheel scrolling?
  13. Race to "Too big to fail" on hype and your losses are socialized
  14. At the Univ of Maryland College Park in the mid 1980s, a campus of 40k students, it was common knowledge the was a small research reactor in full time operation right on campus. I can't imagine it was the only school to have one.
  15. Up next: those 1 inch OLED displays that are all the rage
  16. Roadside Civil Asset Forfeiture is still a thing...
