Yeah, except CWM is closed source, ad laden crapware with a penchant for bricking some phones.

The killer feature for me was the integration with pdfsync. Write LaTex, hit compile, end up with an interactive PDF (click on some stuff and it'll take you back to the source in TextMate). It's fucking genius. Of course Preview.app did, and still does, have lots of problems with fonts in pdflatex generated PDFs.

No, she died as the result of a a congenital brain abnormality that made [her] subject to seizures.

Plenty of tards lead kick ass lives.

On the older 3 series (E46) the driver's door lock was super easy to pick because of sloppy tolerances (apparently about 700EUR will buy you the tools you need to do it in a few seconds). Picking the lock is, of course, a lot more subtle than breaking a window... and will typically disarm the alarm too.

293 Americans were killed by falling furniture in the United States between 2000 and 2010. Since 9/11, 238 Americans have been killed in terrorist attacks.

We get it. You're a bigot and you hate Muslims. Call me when you start a war on furniture.

If my math is right, ING charges 0.031% of the amount you've overdrawn per day on overdrawn checking accounts. Some banks are worse than others, just like some credit unions are worse than others. Or as Morrissey put it, some girls' mothers are bigger than other girls' mothers.

Really? Bankrate.com lists the national average mortgage rate at 3.87% w/ a 30 year fixed, conforming loan. Patelco's current rate is 3.75% (3.822% APR) w/ no points. Chase is listing a 3.75% fixed, 30 year loan w/ 1.125 points at a 3.842% APR. NYU Credit Union is offering a 30 year, fixed, no points loan at 3.625% (3.650% APR).

So, yeah, credit unions can still be competitive... that's the reason why banks have fought tooth and nail to ensure that there are as many restrictions on membership as possible.

Interesting. Firefox 13 restores sessions just fine on both of my MacOS 10.7 machines (work) and my 10.6 machine (personal). SVG handling is still shaky, performance goes in the crapper after loading image heavy tabs, and the mouse cursor disappears from time to time on 10.7... but the session restore stuff works fine for me. Given how frequently I've got to restart Firefox compared to Chrome, I'd notice pretty quickly if it didn't.

Oh. Yeah. Safari should handle sessions without any plugins. Window -> Reopen all tabs or somesuch.

With an EBS backed root volume, take a snapshot, make volumes as needed and attach volume to a new instance. Or, make an AMI of the configured instance and make your instances from that new AMI.

You get billed until you stop the instance. Stopping is the equivalent of powering it down. Terminating is the equivalent of deleting it

Why exactly would a cable operator bother with backup power?

Because that cable operator also provides phone service.

Stanley owns Mac and Irwin. Most Craftsman hand tools are made by Danaher (now APEX). Both Stanley and Danaher make most of their hand tools in either China or Taiwan.

Craftsman tools in Canada have long been made in SE Asia, so it's only a pretty recent development that you can walk into a Sears store in the USA and see wall after wall of imported Craftsman branded tools. Stanley has been making tools overseas for decades under their own brand. In any case, it's becoming increasingly difficult and expensive to find tools that aren't made in SE Asia. Oh well.

Wait. What?

Interesting argument. Mac, Stanley, Craftsman, and Irwin are all predominantly made in China, however. Snap-On is getting there.
