That strikes me as a particularly wierd thing to do in the absence of attribution or explanation.

The default is 72, in my understanding, because of the historical use of email. As folks successively quote each other in a thread, the prepending of '>' to the quoted text require…

I've been really enjoying sup -- http://sup.rubyforge.org/ -- in fact, that really wordy quote about five down is mine.

Funny, I was just referencing this issue the other day. When people ask me what I do, I say "computer stuff", and occasionally I'll lift my hands and kind of type at a non-existent…

Not working for me in Chrome or Firefox. It's like a Mac-only splinter of the Internet.

I've been looking for a decent mouseless wm for XP. The choices seem extremely limited.

Nope, just little blocks. Some interfaces display it as one solid dark monolith, some as empty squares, and a special few as festive little glyphs with mysterious markings inside. …

It's probably telling that I can't get the character to display properly in any interface... but whether of the practicality of the suggestion, or the level of my char-fu, I'm not …

Mine was 299961. I still remember it despite having forgotten the password several lifetimes ago.

This is a really useful trick. Does anyone know of an Oracle analog?

1) Read intro about how fucking awesome some document is. 2) Find link to the document; click link. 3) Error detected -- surely this loathesome-looking PDF isn't the fucking awesom…

Surprised no one's mentioned IMDB.com; it's the first thing that leaps to my mind. Also occasionally surprised to consider I get people to pay to use http://linkswarm.com/ -- not c…

I once was going through a headhunter -- a rather pushy and 'slick' one -- for a gig at IBM. During the initial phone interview with the hiring manager, it became clear that the po…

A few years ago, the girlfriend and I spent some time carefully building and configuring a MythTV box, which was fun. Then we proceeded to not actually watch any TV. 6 months later…

Annoying and redundant. I often find myself clicking on a page to either force focus to that window, or to select text to act as a highlight so I can find my place easily later on.…

RSS feed that sorts by age, not popularity. The current RSS feed is all sorts of chatty, showing me a ton of repeats. Its annoyance factor is about to eclipse its usefulness for me…

Email's in my profile.
