After being zapped by one of these myself, I had to tone down my disapproval of them. It was uncomfortable but not particularly painful, similar to a 'handbuzzer' gag gift. My bigg…

Speaking from experience... apartment numbers are one of the most difficult things to process correctly when geocoding, particularly if your service is backed by Google. The experi…

In my experience the campaigners are instructed by the officials running the voting site what that radius is and stay outside of it.

How does that respond to middle-mouse-clicks? I use that for open-in-new-tab functionality all the time. There's no need to chord the mouse and keyboard together for it. Right-clic…

My WRT54G is still going strong. I run the `tomato` firmware on it, and haven't had to mess with the configuration in years. If only the rest of my hardware could be as reliable.

I've easily burned through 8GB of memory when I'm crunching numbers on large-ish datasets in Octave. (And through twice that when I had a bug in said Octave code...)

I have seen test rigs where the button switches are in series with an LED - the LED lights essentially instantly, and it is very obvious on-camera when that circuit is closed.

The implication is that it is more important to adjust one's perception of the actions of others than it is to alter the actions of others.

I installed a new Win7 partition last week. Yep, almost exactly 2GB memory usage at start. This was a clean Win7 Pro, no third-party crapware installed.

I played that port so much back when I was in college in that time frame. The VR missions too. Great stuff.

I find that, in Settlers of Catan, if you're winning - it's skill. It's only luck when you're losing ;)

...I have a persistent Vim session with ~600 files open. It's been in active use for over a year. It works great.

Sendgrid's Event API ( http://docs.sendgrid.com/documentation/api/event-api/ ) does something similar to this. Their mail servers act as a gateway to allow your app server to both …

Yep, my father used to work in high-security (think live nuclear sites)... the standard answer was to use a drill press to ream out any camera lenses on cell phones that needed to …

Are there any decent maps of where Frontier is offering FiOS in Redmond? Supposedly there is service a few blocks from my apartment downtown, but I can't get a straight answer out …

I'm not too happy with the situation in Seattle myself. Currently I've got $60/mo 1.5/384 DSL service from MegaPath (formerly Speakeasy). Business line to my home, very reliable. I…

...which promptly can be sold for cash money.

How do people use CTRL-A for screen without being driven batty that the emacs-style 'start-of-line' command is not available? I use that constantly!

I'm typing this on a T510 - it definitely has an optimus chipset. Linux support for Optimus is extremely poor, so fortunately you can set in the BIOS whether to use the integrated …

This is exactly how it worked for me when my COBRA coverage expired and I lived in WA. Bypassing the SHQ was key to getting reasonable rates for myself.

Georgia. On the East Coast you'd want peaches from Georgia.

Shift-Insert and Shift-Delete work for pasting and cutting, respectively.

Those low-hz LED tail lights drive me nuts. The strobing effects are incredibly distracting and headache-inducing.
