Och, that's too bad, transit directions are working in Chicago at least.

While I'm extremely glad to have Google Transit directions back, I'm honestly shocked at the lack of integration with iOS contacts. Typing in your friend's name for directions to their place is a pretty basic use case.

I don't believe that's correct; if you are a US citizen, live outside the US and work outside the US, you are still liable to pay US taxes. Now, there is a fairly generous exclusion you can claim that, for most people, will completely nullify their tax obligation.

True, but it's certainly easier to find 9 truly excellent physicists based on their published work, positions, and respect from their peers. It's much harder to evaluate and vet 300 worthy scientists.

If you can't put up an external antenna, put one in the attic or even an outer upstairs closet works almost as well.

If I could redesign the tld hierarchy, I'd put .yu and .me together.

Honest question, how specifically does Ubuntu hinder your ability to "open and work with hundreds of files"?

I don't know. It'd be cool to find out, though.

But this site looks best in Netscape Navigator Gold!

/Was/ a heat wave? Still is.

Everyone is interesting to somebody, even if it's just their local bartender/coworker/pizza delivery guy/romantic rival... Now it used to be the case that it didn't matter as none of these everyday "mundane" acquaintances had the time, access or expertise to pull together a dossier but today it's pretty trivial.
