There's no professional sports team (the category for the day) called the 'LOINS'

In Towers of Hanoi, you're only allowed to pick up one disc at a time, so it's not completely trivial. It's simply operation intensive... kinda like Reverse the List of Integers [1…

'Backups' ain't backups if you don't have a reliable 'Restore' process.

The main argument against making ransom payments illegal is that it simply drives ransom payments underground. Legislating something, similar to vices like drugs, alcohol or gambli…

I've had a decent experience using RealCalc Plus, although it's just my backup when I don't have my 32SII handy.

If they host it somewhere else, it signals they lack confidence in their own product. If they self-host it, it signals that they're overconfident in their ability to maintain an ac…

I think you need to listen. There's little differences between Peter Serafinowicz as Fred Sassy and Trey Parker as Al Gore. There's tiny little mistakes in the voice. I think you n…

Exit row if you don't want someone reclining in front of you, or bulkhead if you don't want someone in front you. There's always First when you don't want _anyone_ in front of you.…

Same here. I would regularly post to twitter and wait for it to appear on Facebook and track the conversation there. The majority of old high school friends and distant relatives _…

I'm using PIA

I didn't notice for a while because my primary Amazon Workspace wasn't affected, but when various requests weren't working on wifi but were working from my cell phone, that's when …

Confirming from S.Florida. I can get to some/most of my AWS workspaces and GCE instances, but not to wikipedia.org... unless I turn on my VPN in which cases they block some traffic…

Thanks Ajit!

We grew up not using the dichotomy of 'Out' vs. 'Over', but 'Out' vs. 'In' signifying whether we're heading to a more rural or urban area. e.g. Let's go in (to town) to go to a bar…
