I thought the same thing years ago: I didn't want the screen staring at me all day when I'd only watch it for small periods of time.

Unfortunately, only "older" TV furniture had retractable doors to cover it, not much was available for large flat screens.

Some ideas:

• Buy/make some nice (red) movie theater style curtains to cover the screen when not in use
• Get a large canvas print of your favorite art and install that on the retractable pull-down screen
• Go all out and build a motorized system to raise/lower the TV into/out of the attic/basement

Why would anyone get a projector when 60"+ TVs are much cheaper than good projector + nice screen + extra bulbs?

I don't see how anyone can believe this:

Do you drag the cursor along the entire URL in a tiny box to view it? It's super-difficult to edit out pieces of URLs on mobile devices.

I love that trick, as I'm an "old" desktop computer user. But how do I "hover" over a link on my mobile device? (Samsung stylus not withstanding.)

(Hint: mobile browsers need some UI changes to enable informed consumers to make their own decisions.)

Gentoo seemed to figure out init script dependency.

I'm open to changing init scripts, but do we have to change everything else too? Like binary logging and needing an interface to access those logs instead of just tailing/grepping them. (Though I think systemd does support duplicate logging to certain syslogs.)

By the end of 2014 it will be, thanks to systemd.

Interesting idea...

All pictures are hidden by default. Men and women browse each others profiles. When both sides "like" the other profile, they both get to see pictures.

This may quickly devolve into men "liking" every female profile, but it still forces the woman to be interested in profile content before seeing a photo.

Well said.

Agreed. Everyone who maximizes all of their windows and must constantly shuffle them in a "deck" or even multiple "decks" (workspaces) are NOT power users.

Whether a single screen laptop or a large three monitor desktop, very rarely should any one window be maximized.

Don't 30 Terabytes of disk use waaaaay more power than two Atoms? How did you get 30 TB linked to those anyway?

There are no "likes" for Wikipedia edits, unlike Pinterest or Facebook posts.

Women are social creatures and require a feedback loop to keep contributing. Perhaps if we applied gamification to Wikipedia we might get a more balanced participation as the participants would receive some feedback (positive acknowledgements, achievements, whatever) to keep them motivated to contribute.

I would rather have a normal heatsink (in popular form factors) for CPU and GPU out of this material. You would still want airflow through your case, or even on top of the heatsink, but RPMs of those fans would hopefully be much lower, making much less noise.

Silent is a noble goal, but I would be happy to use standard cases and components being very quiet.

Firefox's strength was always a large library of plugins, never it's User Interface.

Arguably Firefox's User Experience has degraded, as it is not as configurable as before.

This. Submitter should build a few small projects that give a different end result than the current code base. If you're just swapping R for SAS but delivering the exact same output, no management will care. The sample projects either needs to report the data in different ways, or visualize the data, or even as this parent suggested, simply provide a copy of the output as a spreadsheet.

Innovation will come by thinking about the problem differently and exploring different ways to ask questions to gain insight into your business. If you're just crunching the same numbers, don't bother. For the submitter personally, it's great to learn R and Python, but don't expect an organization shift unless it provides something unique.
