I ALWAYS go "below the fold!" With my tongue. That's where the most desirable, uh, "feature" is.

As you get older you'll find you have to be a bit more careful about just which fold you're going below.

We have work to do on four big areas: feature parity (especially for commenting); the overall UI, especially in terms of information density and headline scanning; plain old bugs; and, lastly, the need for a better framework for communicating about the How and the Why of this process.

I don't think the label of "beta" means what Slashdot thinks it means.

Billy the Kid? I think you must be thinking of somebody else.

Machines are not magic. With a mixture, no matter how fine, you cannot avoid clumps. It doesn't matter if it's emulsified, there will still be clumps. You can't do better than random through any macro process that doesn't isolate and separate the allergen.

Stirring does not mean random distribution. Stirring homogenizes a batch, evening out distribution of mixtures and concentrations of solutions.

You'd think that would be right, but mixing, no matter how long, always leaves clumps. This is a known problem in, for example, paint mixing. You can stir for a year, then get out a microscope. You'll see clumps of pigment.

Hack Reactor claims 99% placement?

I don't see how. Nowhere near 99% of the students taking the class would ever be qualified to work in the field.

there is no really good reason that a tiny, tiny bit of peanut butter in a large meal won't work.

Yes there is. Peanut butter, no matter how well you stir it, will have random clumps of the allergen and people will die. More stirring does not solve the problem. Random does not mean equal distribution. It means random distribution, some of which will be in larger clumps.

The quickest game is "fools mate" and it is aver in about 4 moves.

From looking at the final position, visible in the video, I too could beat him in 71 seconds. Basically the only thing that would affect the timing is how quickly Gates would move.

Samsung will simply tell Google they don't want to pay the 75 cents and Google will acquiesce. They'll structure it in such a way that it appears that they pay it, but the money will come back some other way. In the end this will only help Samsung squash all those small competitors.

The only correct answer when someone asks about caliber is "45 caliber"

My father, a larger man, once worked as a human cannonball at the circus. He hated it, but when he tried to leave they told him "You can't quit! Where would we ever find another man of your caliber?"

Beta had the better tech, VHS had the better content.

Oh yeah, let's please start up that argument again.

And as it was a buried rock, I guess now it's been de-crptyed.

Ah yes, the human mind's infinite ability to find patterns where none exist.

That doesn't actually happen, it just appears to because of our perception.

The O rings were designed to expand and fill in the gap as the joint itself expanded. But because of the cold the material expanded too slowly. This was almost immediately known, and that information was slyly revealed to Richard Feynman, who gave his ice-water demonstration before the investigating committee.
