What do you mean "no one"?! According to his post, 27 of the 49 respondents agreed with him. If we extrapolate that number to the population of the Earth, we find that 3.9 billion people agree with him.

Please explain what you mean by "not permanent". I had LASIK 15 years ago. In that time, the only change to my vision is that my close-up vision isn't as good as it used to be. I'm also approaching 40, and am quite certain I'd be experiencing the same close-up vision now had I not had the surgery.

I suspect you're using the wrong vocabulary here. Macular degeneration is a serious (usually age-related) condition, where the retina is essentially in decay. LASIK will neither cause nor cure it. It should be treated as soon as possible, as it can lead to blindness.

"Make it so" means do what needs to be done. That means it might happen instantly, or it might take some time. It might require doing some research, or re-configuring things before it can happen. But "engage" implies that everything is ready, and you're just waiting for approval to press the final button.

So "Engage" is more appropriate for this survey.

Does this mean all those countries that giver a driver warning before the light turns green (generally by red and yellow lights being on simultaneously) are doing it wrong?

Traveling for pleasure: no jetlag. I keep my schedule vague, so when at my destination, I wake up and sleep at times my body feels are appropriate
Traveling for business: jetlag sucks. It's typical that I have to be awake early the next morning for work. And then people usually want to go drinking in the evenings (I try to avoid this as much as possible, but still feel obligated to socially be part of the team), meaning that my body must conform to the assigned schedule. It protests.

When I was a kid, I didn't have the hand-eye coordination to beat the tough video games. Cheat codes (and I include things like warp zones in this category) allowed me to beat the game and feel cool. When I was older, and decided to dust some of these games off, playing the whole way through without cheating provided a new level of fun. I suspect that cheat codes helped make games appealing to players of different abilities.

I believe the code was Ctrl-Alt-W, which allowed you to instantly win the game. It was awesome because of how pointless it was. It brought you to the final scenes of the game. In one of them, a character's dialog was replaced with something like "I wonder why I'm standing here", because if you cheated you way to the end, you wouldn't know the story.

When companies like Zero and Brammo actually produce and sell electric motorcycles, it isn't news. But when Harley-Davidson announces that they will do the same at some point, it's big news.

That said, I do applaud this effort -- the more companies that make electric vehicles, the better.

If they don't know you, they'll probably leave you alone, and generally ignore whatever happens are your house. But if you know them, then they'll think of you as a person. If something suspicious is happening at your house, they'll call your cell phone to let you know. (And hopefully, you'd do the same for them.) If you get an alarm, tell them, and ask them to call you (or the police) if it's ever going off.

And with that, the Hipster Nerd is born. You're not a real nerd. You don't enjoy science correctly. I was a nerd before it was cool.

There is not one single kind of nerd. Deal with it. Also, we're talking about fictional characters in a television show.

Still works fine... and a quick glance on amazon shows it's still worth what I paid for it more than 10 years ago.

Or is sabbatical a more accurate term? I've left, gone on to study an unrelated field, and came back to my original field. I'm sure I'll do it several more times in my life.

I figured filing online made sense. But I didn't find a clear option. There were choices that require I make less than a certain amount of money to use. There were choices that direct me to 3rd party sites. Is the IRS really so inept that it can't show me a way to file online that isn't more complicated than printing my own 1040s?

It's odd that irs.gov is generally well-organized, such that I can find any PDF form I might need without trouble. Why can't it be equally obvious how to submit?

I own a pebble, and wear it every day. I love it for notifications -- I can tell who's calling/texting/e-mailing me, and thus decide if I feel like taking my phone out to interact with them.

But I would never use it to initiate anything. If I want to check the weather, place a call, do a google search, etc., then I'll use my phone -- no matter how good a watch's resolution is, it's just too small to do those things effectively.
