Doesn't anyone screen these submissions?!

I've seen a lot of foreign (non-US) movies on DVD that use the angle in conjunction with the audio track and subtitles. One angle will have English opening and/or closing credits while the other has the native language credits.

It's Twitter - shouldn't their memos be 140 characters or less?

Well, since Objective C is currently at #10, it seems apparent Swift is still nowhere near its potential ceiling.

Isn't she in front of the camera rather than behind it? The off-camera voice seems to be male, at least based on the first 10 seconds of video.

On the plus side, if I have to watch a video I'd rather it be of an attractive young woman than of a neck bearded Unix admin.

Or Yahoo!.

Except it also makes it more likely we'll eventually have mobile-based broadband options that can be used to replace Comcast's cable internet service.

I was going to say the same thing about our local Office Depot. I go in there maybe once every 1-2 years, and it's always just about empty. And I f it wasn't for their UPS desk, I bet 80% of that already sparse customer base would not be there.

I've got nothing against this particular company, but I think time has passed them by.

Definitive proof that Slashdot has gone to the birds!

Well obviously my Slashdot account must've been hacked or something...

If you're doing the Wave, you deserve to get stuffed back in that locker. Or worse.

As far as Deflate Gate goes, in the end it won't matter. The Hawks are going to walk all over the Pats. The only real question is whether they'll hit any of the numbers I drew in our office pool.

Hofstadter isn't THAT heavy...

I have been quite puzzled regarding some of the insulting names I've been seeing on my junk mail.

I have read people's complaints about this, and I know it's happening and is very vexing. But I haven't had any trouble with wi-fi on my Macs - either at home (a couple MacBook Pros and several iDevices, connecting to an Airport Extreme base) or at work (iDevices connecting to whatever enterprise gear U of Wash. has - well, except that UW's wifi is universally oversubscribed). And over the past decade or so, I've been much happier with OS X's wifi performance than I ever was with XP's.

I would assume people have investigated whether there's some commonality between the complaints and the base station chipsets / manufacturers involved... (yeah, yeah, I know - RTFA)

This reminds me of a scene from an old Andy Griffith Show episode that, for no good reason, has been relegated to long-term storage in my brain.

Andy and Barney are checking into a hotel somewhere for a cop convention. The receptionist says "Thank you Mr. Taylor. Thank you, Mr. Fife... oh, excuse me, DOCTOR Fife!"

Andy incredulously looks at the sign-in book and notes that Barney has appended an "M.D." to his name - after which Barney sheepishly explains it stands for "Mayberry Deputy".

(okay, in all likelihood I'm the only person here who thinks that's funny...)
