"Shaving the Yak" is great. However I often think of the MITM video when in these situations; and personally refer to it as "Hal's Tangent" which has a kind of philosophical/mathem…

Although a sausage factory would be bad, at least each tour would be standard, and at least visiting that sausage factory wouldn't compromise your security and your liberty and fin…

I think you are mixing up cause and effect. XKCD is based on this game.

I literally couldn't care less about the design of a MS employee badge.

Were you trying for 20% better?

Perhaps you /are/ a cloud. :/

I have no idea about any formal definition of the term cloud. I'm sure there are a few! The cloud image as "the internet" is classic. It's almost certainly the reason for "cloud" c…

"IE10 will be the new minimum for html5" I'm not sure what this means, but it sounds horrible, I understand IE is getting better, but it did the damage in the early years, and it b…
