... layovers in Hawaii.

I've been rolling my eyes at "surgical strikes" for as long as I can remember.

I certainly don't expect 100% perfection when bombing anything, which is why I always call bullshit when our politicians say we'll use "smart" bombs or "surgical air strikes" when trying to justify attacking someone.

Reference: every military action we've taken in my entire lifetime.

For something that's so language-based in the first place, localizing the icons makes perfect sense to me. In Spanish, "N" (Negrita), "c" (cursiva), and "s" (subrayada).

Perhaps a trickier problem is what to do when a language doesn't use the same type conventions. Does $LANGUAGE use underlining at all? Does it use some completely different convention?

That sounded really unfamiliar, so I opened Libre Office (v4.2.8.2 on Ubuntu) to see what the letters on the buttons are. B for bold, i for italics, and u for underline. I'd post a screenshot if that was a /. thing to do.

You say this like it's some grand revelation. What would be the point otherwise? "Here, you can download this binary. It's GPL, but you can't have the code." makes no sense.

Currently, the lowest price I can find on plain old Amtrak service from Baltimore to New York is $77 if I leave next week. (Less than half the distance between LA and SF.) Cut that train trip time in half, and I'd pay the extra cost over a Bolt bus.

Comparing the professional musician market to the professional programming market seems dubious at best because the demand for those two services is radically different. Being a professional musician has always been about somehow standing out from the other millions of kids who want to be a star too. On the other hand, we're pretty much tripping over work to do in the programming world. If you can write code, and you don't absolutely suck, you will have work of some sort. It won't be rock star work, but it'll be an honest job that pays a comfortable living wage.

I used to do some web development for a company that primarily resold other peoples' software, and offered training on it. I got in some pretty epic arguments with this one sales guy that always said the website didn't "look like a startup website." I could see myself just sending him one of these and asking if that was what he was looking for.

As a 'newsworthy' person, surely Goebbels' diary can be excerpted for the purpose of writing a biography, right? I could see the estate's point if Random House was simply republishing Goebbels' diary.

I think you mean Cassini-Huygens? Galileo was a Jupiter probe.

That all sounds great except for the me getting injured part. I'd rather Richie Rich was deterred in the first place.

Fortunately, the Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR) made it into space before it could be killed by another republican adminstration.

NoScript is currently showing twenty-eight (28) scripts running in my browser (I temporarily permitted all to see what the actual number was). Still kind of a lot, but where did you get 90?

Fine: Here's the file

Also, SoundCloud is pretty well-known. I'm sorry it's not up to your standards.
