That wasn't working this weekend. I'd visit a story and be forced into beta and the header indicated I was logged out. I'd hit that no beta link and I'd be back at the main page, logged in. I'd click a link to the story and be back in beta and logged out. Repeat several times, since obviously if it didn't work the first time it's going to work the 3rd time. No script blockers or cookie blocking on my end since it breaks too much crap.

When you're paying $5k for a desktop printer, they don't need to make up the price on ink. That's hardly a consumer level printer though.

You used to be able to inject fresh ink into inkjet ink cartridges, until the printer companies got wise and chipped them so they can only dispense so much ink before expiring.

While I agree it's good PR and great thing for Fluke to do, one wonders at the price of Fluke vs the price of those knockoffs, how many Flukes will Sparkfun actually get? It's obviously not a 1:1 replacement, and probably shouldn't be, but Sparkfun might still be coming out negative on this if they were planning on selling those original meters.

You start by cutting it into a thin, but not extremely thin, block. Then you grind away material until it's thin enough to transmit light. See Thin Sections.

Yale has digital scans and you can download the whole thing as a PDF.

That appears to be over "Candy Land", not "Candy". I doubt anyone would care if "Candy Crush" was trademarked. Here, the sole word "Candy" has been trademarked in conjunction with video games as a whole, and could conceivably be used against Hasbro if Hasbro came out with a Candy Land video game. King doesn't seem to care what kind of game it is, just that the word "Candy" appears in the title.

I'd say "if you rely on a third-party web service with no alternatives or exit plans, then you're screwed whether you pay for it or not." Relying on a third-party email provider is pretty easy, just point your MX record at the new server, bam, you're migrated. Ok, so there's replication and actual migration, but the point is email is standard and you can pick and choose at will if one service goes away. You were making backups right? When LogMeIn, Google whatever, Facebook, etc, go belly up, get bought out, or just decide to shut off the service you like because it's not profitable, you're sunk because they are not standard.

Pretty much. There's a couple of links in TFA, but this video I found was pretty illustrative: Versaball

Just about everywhere I've ever worked, I've worked with someone that types fast (for a programmer) with only 2 fingers. There are also the dvorak-wielding snobs. Just because we all sit in front of a keyboard doesn't mean we all use them exactly the same.

That assumes a time-traveler didn't know their flight was doomed until after they booked the ticket.

Who said I was human?

Back when the 486dx4 was out, I'd tune my FM radio to ~100mHz and listen to the weird whirs and buzzes that occurred during disk access or mouse movement. Many years later, during a security class of all things, when I suggested using this as a method to leak information out of a secure room, the speaker said using radio transmission to leak information was much too sophisticated to be a viable attack for anything but the government and military.

This is the feature I've been waiting for since I like to write games and port them to HTML5. I have an audio-only game that only worked in Chrome until today because I had the audacity to require left/right panning.
