When it comes to computer work, if you're high enough in the department to be expected to follow a dress code you're high enough to not have to adhere to said dress code.
Problem solved.

I didn't realise FunnyJunk was in the GM business.
Finally, the Fedora guys have listened to its customers and fanbase! People have been clamouring for years to be able to restart their computers needlessly after updating and now these long years of loyalty have been rewarded. Bravo, Fedora. Bravo.
ATM card
- if your bank doesn't offer this, nag them. If you lose cards at all this will shut people down looking to go on a spending spree with your card.
In what way will your photo on an ATM card stop a thief using your card to retrieve money from an ATM? Do ATMs have facial recognition where you live?
So... you're saying he uses his gun for transport?

I hereby hand in my Grammar Nazi ID card and matching lanyard. Oh, the humiliation.
Finally, Microsoft has listened to it's customers and fanbase! People have been clamouring for years to have context focused advertising/product placement on their Xboxen and now these long years have loyalty have been rewarded. Bravo, Microsoft. Bravo.
'eBook Regex Gone Haywire'
This is a straight-forward substring replace, not a regular expression. A not-completely-stupid regex would at least have only converted \bKindle\b, although obviously even then human oversight would be necessary.
wouldn't storing your stuff in a non digital format constitute Zero?
No. The percentage of digital storage capacity that's solid state would be the formula s/d*100 . If you have no digital storage then the resultant formula would be 0/0*100 , ie. you would be dividing by zero, which of course is a Bad Thing To Do. The answer in that case isn't zero, it's N/A; hence the extra option.
Whoosh!
I'm sick of the creeping bullshit such as SlashBI etc. too -- I even moaned about it in the announcing post -- but seriously, guy, learn to take a fucking joke.
I'm on TalkTalk and TPB still works fine without any jiggery pokery whatsoever.
Well then you've either never had a download fail or you have but didn't realise it because of the bug and later either didn't notice the incompleteness of the file or blamed it on something else.
Or perhaps the bug is more selective than I thought. That doesn't seem too likely to me though seeing as this has happened to me many many times across multiple versions of Windows and multiple Linux distros across 5-6 different computers across all versions of Firefox/Firebird/Phoenix for the entire 10 years that I've been using the browser. I doubt I'm that unlucky.
Here are the first two reports I found of this bug:
Bug #237623, reported over 8 years ago. 20 duplicate reports merged into it. Still unresolved.
Bug #536916, reported nearly 2.5 years ago. Still unconfirmed.
I'm sure there are more if you care to look, but I think that's enough.
Another day, another Firefox UI 'revamp'. And another major version number to go with it, no doubt.
Meanwhile, if a download times out Firefox still reports it as having completed successfully. This has been the case since at least Phoenix 0.4, and presumably since it's conception. Yet it remains unfixed. Apparently in 11 major versions and 9 years, not to mention countless UI revamps it seems the FF team still haven't realised that an HTTP connection can fail.
No matter what your background, chances are good you’ll find something of interest here
If you really believe that then why does it need a separate site? You could just post it on Slashdot with everything else.
