    Fascinating. I think I might be one of those of the older generation. Do you have any pointers to get to start to learn more about the modern progressives? I'd really like to learn…

    While trying to find the article I stumbled across Straight dope ( http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/2831/was-pink-origi... ), that claims that this idea might well be wrong…

    I actually remember reading, recently, that the color division is cultural. Point in fact is that around 1900 and earlier, if color had any meaning at all, it was reversed. Pink, b…

    Somewhat, perhaps, more cumbersome, but very workable, is to hire yourself a personal shopper for a day. Those are available at all major cities. That person will guide you through…

    Aren't URI:s an attempt to encode this type of hydra-like schema? Not that URI:s are that great for showing to humans, but if we added some visualizations template plug-in system f…

    I have a pair of Vibram Five Fingers and while my toes are rather normal it can be difficult when running off-trail. Grass keeps getting stuck between the toes and if you get tired…

    Perhaps I'm misreading you, but this comes across to me like "if you don't have kids yourself you could not possibly understand". That is, I believe, a thoroughly wrong position to…

    I've flown Ryanair several times and they routinely stop people from boarding with masses of carry-on. Really, if have a lot of stuff they'll tell you to go back to check-in and ha…

    I feel that there seems to be a, albeit perhaps weak, correlation between hackers/geeks and some kinds of physical activity. Mostly I'm thinking of running and mountain climbing. W…

    I guess they use cookies, yes. Personally I'm an opera fan, so I haven't tried getting it to work but a quick search brought up: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5100…

    I realize you probably already know this, and perhaps even don't need this, but I often use http://google.com/ncr . The "/ncr" bit ensures that no localization redirection is done.…

    Dunno, but from the top of my head: one-way streets, no-left-turn-allowed-here-signs, prolonged roadworks. Perhaps the map data doesn't even map up actual streets that well (does t…

    Status will always be defined by scarcity. Perhaps blue eyes where novel and scares, which could be enough?

    As I've heard it, the development of both blue eyes and blond hair is thought of as mainly being driven by sexual preferences, i.e. status of novelty. Sexual preferences are pretty…

    Yes, but an honest question from a non-American: Isn't that much/more/most/greater/grander of "everything" rather than over-the-top? Over-the-top, to me, implies a taking something…

    In graphical design I've heard this being mentioned as the "Pink Elephant", i.e. "obvious misses" that the client can easily clank down on. This makes it easier to keep the integri…

    I was under the impression that while C3 wasn't finished when the project was terminated it was used productively after only two years. Also, it the project replaced one that had t…
