“ * Not all filetypes can be tagged. Microsoft Office documents and JPG images can be tagged in Vista, but RTF (Rich Text), PNG and my beloved .txt files cannot be tagged. This limitation, in a word, blows. But let’s move on.
This is friggin’ retarded. Why even bother adding tagging if you can’t tag most of your files? IDIOCY. •

“ there is no place in the Constitution,” he said, “that talks about you ought to have the right to get a telephone, but we have made those choices as a country over the years.” - this is incorrect; the 9th and 10th Amendments give citizens the right to own telephones, as well as a broad interpretation of the 1st (free speech and free assembly).
Sen. Mark Warner isn’t exactly a constitutional scholar •

“ There’s also a pretty basic game theory element to this. War seems like an environment wherein the opposing forces will not cooperate under any circumstances, but in reality is akin to an iterated prisoners’ dilemma. There are rules to war…Defecting from this invites retaliation…Successful players are going to be able to respond to defection gracefully and intelligently- with enough retaliation to ensure that defection is an undesirable strategy, but with enough moderation that it does not, itself, invite retaliation.

Scheme to be split into two languages

I’m not sure how I feel about this. I’m one of those 50 page purists when it comes to languages.

Is there a laptop in the house?

evangotlib:

So a lot of folks were disturbed by my post last night about the pilot using my laptop and wi-fi card to find a new route.  I would have explained last night, but we didn’t get to Dallas until after 1am and I went right to sleep.

There were two or three different lines of storms in the west and south that were effecting all Newark outbound air traffic.  There is no mechanism on a 737-500 to look at weather.  The radar they have only works in flight, and even then it can’t show what’s happening outside of about 50 miles.  …

How To Make Butter In Under 5 Minutes! #baking

I do a lot of baking, so this is really useful. Of course, I don’t have a stand mixer, so I may not use this, but a handy reference.

Yes, I bake but don’t have a stand mixer. You try finding room for one in a 1BR apartment. I’m lucky to have space for a microwave AND a toaster.
