'iOS 7 introduced a much more complex physical language while stripping out many of the visual cues that developers had relied on to instruct users.

Like what? I don't have an iOS device, so I'm not really sure what they're talking about.

In Canada we have interac e-Transfers - which you email a link to somebody and they click on it and log into their bank account and it deposits the money into their account.

With these 'fly-bys' and that 'morse code', how else would we know how to correctly parse things?

What's wrong with Cape Breton? It's a lovely place to visit (says the mainlander)

And then you have Apple Maps, yikes.

I think they meant it was dirty because of all the mining you have to do to get the uranium out of the ground.

Curious, how do you wire up a programmer?

Great idea, but I'd be way to lazy to do something like that. Nor do I have the equipment.

Offtopic, but Vistamark Hotel? I can't seem to find anything on that. Just curious.

I have two Linux machines and two NASes.

The first Linux machine, my laptop, rsyncs itself to the other Linux machine and to a QNAP NAS that's in RAID5.

The second Linux machine (desktop) backs itself up to the QNAP as well.

The DNS323 gets backed up to the QNAP NAS and to the desktop Linux machine

The QNAP nas gets backed up once a quarter to an offsite location.

I figure in my plan, I have enough redundancy and backup that I can recover to most failures.

And we (the bitcoin users) LIKE it that way! No meddling gov't to ruin the fun!

Granted, I play with bitcoin as a hobby. If my wallet was compromised tomorrow, it wouldn't be all THAT terrible. There's not much there.

Reminds me of "Reno Depot", not sure why they changed the name AND the colour, but whatever.

Yeah, I'm still not sure why hardware designers like to put the brightest blue LED on the face of the earth in every piece of electronics. My external HD could be used to land planes!

Note: I haven't consumed any coffee yet today so I can't vouch on the intelligibility of this post.

It's like random in a CD player, it will repeat songs before it even gets to another. I prefer 'shuffle', where the list is randomized and then played through before reshuffling.

A decent indicator is usually the cross walk lights. Usually when they flash the intersection is about to go yellow. Here in Ottawa, the exact moment the hand stops flashing and goes solid red, the light turns yellow. It's even better when they have a countdown. I now instinctively check the crosswalk lights to know whether I need to be checking the light or focusing all my attention on actually driving.
