There's a few CPUs Intel already makes that has this situation. The pins go on the socket side and are spring loaded instead. Dell seems to be a big fan of this design on the Optiplex line, even though RMAing the boards requires stick-on plastic caps that, as often as not, don't stay grippy through shipping...

Speaking of, do I have you on my Google+?

...Google+ hit relevance.

Clearly you weren't around during the .com bust when KPMG was renaming itself to something stupid every eighteen minutes. Or missed the rapidfire Pacific Northwest Bell > US West > Qwest > CenturyLink stupidity.

What did I just read? Go take a look at reality...

Now can we cure stupidity?

...was 9 and 3. The way I still drive. Another thing: THUMBS OUT. Steering wheels, particularly on commercial vehicles, have the potential to rip your thumbs off in normal operation if you wrap them inside the wheel.

I'm OK with this.

Did not realize there were that many furries out there. Though, it makes sense, we make the internets go.

...just really stupid. How is enforcing the laws on the books a cash grab? Driving is a privilege, and one that comes with dire consequences when performed wrong. Just slow down and obey the speed limits. You'll save fuel compared to getting trapped by every red light from going faster than the signal timing, wear and tear on your car, and you'll have more time to react to hazards and emergencies.

really hope they can't. And hope Windows 8 bombs spectacularly in the box office.

Go get yourself a rendering tool and customize how OpenStreetMap renders for you to your heart's content.

It takes Google years to update data. Big parts of North and Northeast Portland were out of date following a 2006 reconstruction of a few major streets, and street names are frequently long out of date on Google Maps. Bonus: When Google's outright wrong, they're *really* wrong. Quebec Provincial Route 355 goes nowhere near Oregon, but Google Maps was convinced that US 30 didn't exist (but Q355 did in it's place). At least when OSM is wrong, you can fix it and it goes live the moment you upload.

True, but on the other hand, it's not missing entire countries. Go ahead, try to get directions in North Korea on Google.

Oddly enough, there's schema for trash cans and stop signs.
