They already are.

No option for multiple ...

Had one HDD die, had a laptop that would not charge the battery (even after I replaced it with a new one). Can't claim either as "the most problems with".

Logical would be military date format - yyyy/mm/dd. When my European co-developer asked me for a preferred date format for commenting changes, that is the format I chose. THAT is the only format properly sortable (other than variations in separators).

I selected "no preference", but that last option does deserve comment.

Having been a university math professor for a time, I tried to learn every graphing calculator available. Most use some BASIC-like language, the exceptions I'm aware of being the more powerful calculators. The HP-48 used some language based on RPN, the HP-38 (not using RPN itself) had a completely different language, and of course the TI 89 (being more of a symbolic math package stuffed inside a calculator) was nothing like the other TI calculators, So even "what did my old graphing calculator use?" is not a trivial response ...

Valid options would be other smartwatches, like the new color Pebble Watch they had on Kickstarter.

And people wonder why we have global warming doubters. With all the acronyms and techspeak, it might as well be written in Swahili.

Vivaldi is not yet my default browser, but I expect it to be there when it's ready. Some parts of the interface (especially the mail client) need a bit of work, and yes it still needs stabilization, but it seems to be coming along well.

I have been involved with Opera for over 12 years and Vivaldi for about 6 months. Not certain I'd consider any browser since Opera 12 on my old 1 GB netbook - I don't see Opera 27 or Vivaldi useful in such low RAM, which is unfortunate. On a better system, both are good browsers.

Looks to me like Opera are now copying Vivaldi - many of the features they are introducing in Opera 29 (finally) are the ones you find in Vivaldi. Good for the users, but they should have been there first.

This has certainly not been an average month - we are supposed to be getting down to -5F to -10F tonight - which may break the old record. Again. Not that February is ever an average month, but this wasn't even an average February.

While I do know a couple of people who rode their bicycles in the last month ... they don't own cars and live too far to walk. (I do own a car but live close enough to walk anyway, if we get more snow than expected this weekend.)

But of course, an average month is just convenient fiction anyway - no month is average.

I own several guns < 150 years old which never had a serial number - prior to 1968 it wasn't required on most firearms. Of course most guns did get serial numbers just for inventory purposes, but things like cheap .22 rifles or cheap shotguns sometimes didn't.

To the question at the end of the article - I use either depending on language and appropriateness to the problem. Languages like CBM BASIC didn't support functions, so you had to find a way to use loops even if it wasn't optimal.

However, there are lots of non-trivial examples, so why settle for something trivial? It was always a bit of work writing a factorial in older BASICs, recursion is just so much simpler. Or maybe terms of Pascal's triangle? The Fibonacci series perhaps - while there is actually a formula for that, most people won't know it. Lots of possibilities.

They are still not talking about literacy - they are talking about problem solving. That makes it the new Mathematics, not the new literacy. (And yes, what I learned coding on my VIP not quite 40 years ago did help me with my degree in Math a few years later, so I do know what I'm talking about.)

I recently had someone accuse me of being in my mid-thirties (no, I selected the last option). Good genes? If so, my little bother missed out - he looks older than I do. But he works outdoors - perhaps we can blame the sun.

So, does 40.003 feel different? It's just a number. I'm going on 52 in a couple of months - yes, it's just a number too.

Do I want to live to be 100? Honestly, I don't care. I want to live a good life - length doesn't matter.

Seems to be up, finally.

Of course I am unique from their sample, I used an unreleased test version of a browser - I had to be unique. However, that version of tracking is useless as I have ... 7 different versions of browsers on my system, they would not know they were the same person on the same computer. (And I have 3 other computers plus a couple of tablets.)

Does that mean I am, what, 40 different people according to them?

What's the difference between options 4 and 5? I might own one someday. but not anytime soon. (Presuming soon < 5 years) I selected 4, BTW.
