The university of southern north Dakota at hoople? Yeah, it doesn't exist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P._D._Q._Bach ...making the whole thing satire.

Wow, was it really 20 years ago? As a kid my family lived in the Summit at Warner Center townhouses in LA. One night my friends and I saw a bunch of movie trailers pull up and of c…

The working parts, no. The iron frame, yes. But getting the frame out can be pretty rough.

The tuning pegs might become stuck to the side of the pegboard holes they are in. Also, if the strings are not kept at the correct tension, there is a real possibility of the iron …

Compared to pianos, violins are really, really simple machines. You have strings, a bridge, a sound box with some holes in it and a couple of posts inside, some tuning pegs and tha…

I once bought a beater piano for $200 so I could practice tuning it. We didn't have room in our apartment, so a friend let us set it up in his and I'd come over once in a while and…

Also, if you're at least semi-serious about becoming good at piano, you'll want a real one because of the action (and if you're really serious about it, you'll want a grand). Digit…

I've found Command-T slows way down on large trees, causing a very noticeable interruption in my "flow" when I use it. Also, it's written in ruby which can be a bit more painful to…

The whole "Chrome as OS" thing will benefit from this.

I'm curious to know what was so frustrating. I've had my tab for a few months and love it to death.

Yes, you've managed to figure out why tax exempt status exists.

Kudos to him for redistributing his own wealth the way he deems fit. I admire that. But let's not try to push this way of thinking on everyone else (not saying that's what you're d…

What a damn fine time to be alive.

I did that with a $50 bill once on my company's big office copier just to see what it would look like (uh, I swear) and was pretty floored when I saw the copy come out with stripes…

"I just wonder why the US legislature would want to deliberately cripple US's strength on the web." I dunno, my guess is there must be a lot of money involved.

So I've been doing every google search these clueless legislators have brought up in defense of the act: "You can search for 'free harry potter movie' and watch it for free" "You c…

An example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DY1pcEtHI_w I can kind of do this, but the volume these guys get on their overtones is amazing.

I didn't get a CS degree and therefore had no experience with state machines until I started programming professionally. Maybe that's why I took to them so quickly and used them fr…

"A story which suggested that users of Internet Explorer have a lower IQ than people who chose other browsers appears to have been an elaborate hoax." "'It's obviously very easy to…

While I agree with the conclusion that you only get out of something what you put in, a quick review of the history of genius will reveal several characters that did have an innate…
