Sure, but it was the only primary source I could find for Drew Houston recounting his conversation with Steve Jobs. Most all the other coverage at the time was blogspam.

Do think it might cause harm if the domain names were retained?

Sorry, nope. I'd have to be attacking the character of the person making the argument, and do so in an attempt to undermine their argument, for it to be ad hominem. I'm questioning…

Koyaanisqatsi and Tron both did it in '82. I'm sure there are probably other, earlier examples, too.

If you haven't watched Koyaanisqatsi ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koyaanisqatsi ), you really should.

That's far too easy to game, though, and even works on Wikipedia. Just the other day, I searched for a particular boutique marketing firm, and found they had a Wikipedia entry, com…

Thanks for the detailed info. Sounds like it's still a bit further off than I'd like out of a primary machine, something I tried a few years ago (unsuccessfully).

Once it's set up and working the way you want, how often do you find yourself dealing with small issues?

Divvy has worked quite well for me. Spectacle and ShiftIt are two alternatives I later heard about, but haven't yet tried, so please let me know if you try them out and find a clea…

Which is philosophy.

He didn't specify the length of the interval between when he experiences it, and when he dies.

Cognitionism! Yeah, it's silly. I think it's not too unlike calling everything "hacking." I "hacked" my eyesight by looking out the window for a minute at the end of every chapter,…

Which would work really well in some geography. In mine, not so much. I have airports 15nm away that are meteorologically less relevant than some that are 50nm away.
