Super useful to lie about your browser in user-agent string, when you are tethering, but your plan does not allow that.

I use Chrome at work -- because many in house apps are Chrome-only (Chrome is new IE) -- and Firefox at home and for all my personal browsing. No idea what are you talking about: Firefox is as fast for me and I can not remember it crashing. Plus, the added bonus of NoScript, Cookie Monster and Ghostery.

Probably representatives were given some of those 500 notes. You know, so that they can admire their beauty.

There is nothing wrong with it per se. However, all jerk drivers do it (tailgaters, people who cut others etc.), so yeah, while correlation does not imply causation, the only thing insurance company cares about is correlation.

Teach them copyright law and use it as a proof of Intelligent Design.

February 14th is the holiday targeted at singles. It supposed to make them feel lonely and desperate, so that they will go out and buy a bunch of shit to feel better and/or in a hope to get someone this way.

If the experts are already known, then I definitely don't see a point in not disclosing their names before the fund raiser.

I think the idea is really cool, but the process is also very important.

This is still an important question. While yes, the money will attract some talent, the money also will attract scammers and just random people who want to make a quick buck. And I don't see $50k attracting enough talent.

I don't know, fear of snakes seem to be pretty universal in the animal kingdom. Can't find the source right now, but I remember I read some article that talked about many different animals imitating snakes to scare enemies: geese (when they hiss), cats (the hissing sound they make when scared), some birds make hissing sounds from their nest. If we assume that these traits really evolved as imitations of snakes, it means that it was pretty important for any animal not to get too close to one.

Especially given the fact that the said company has been in business for ... more than 120 years! They have seen the whole markets emerge and then die and managed to stay in business amidsts all of that.

It would be really-really nice if somebody could explain the *causal* relationship between these two. For example, please show me the formula or some statistics based estimates for how much more single 1s transaction will cost vs. 1000 1ms transactions.

Oh yeah, and don't forget the bullshit that is "non-voting stock", which is basically just casino chips. I know at least some companies that only publicly sell this kind of bullshit stock.

It really depends on what do you define as being "close to the action". If you define it in terms of "old telegraph days", basically *every* trader is too close to the action. And that is where the problem is. This days it is nothing more than a global casino that provides zero social value.

It does.

If not storing your gun and bullets securely was a punishable crime, you would really make sure you lock them properly and that nobody (including your kids, spouse, brothers sisters etc) can get them. Say if somebody shots somebody with a gun or bullet that was stolen from you and it turns out that you didn't store them properly, you get your share of jail time.

How much this will decrease availability depends on how big of a problem gun stealing is to begin with. Have no stats on that about US.

When I listen to the forecast on the radio, I never hear them saying "67 degrees" or "32 degrees" they always say something like "upper sixties", "mid-seventies" and the likes. So looks like resolution is very well wasted. I grew up with Celsius and definitely won't be able to tell the difference between 14C and 15C outside. I'd say my resolution is more like 2-3 degrees C, or roughly 4-6 F.

That said, any true geek should use Kelvins.
