@drachenstern Unless you use IE, yes. But I get what you're saying... I suspect IDE / programmer-editor developers have a unique advantage there, insofar as they're immersed in the workflow as they're designing tools to streamline it.
@GeorgeMarian most of the office apps on the market have programming in them somewhere. I imagine they all have some capability for that either inherent or co-habitant
@Shog9 exactly. But there's people who can do language parsing better than I can parse C++ code ... there's just not an explicit regex can be built for it.
I mean... I don't even know how I intend to end this thought - how could I reasonably design a program to suggest the ending (oh great, now I spent two lines writing about how I don't know how I'm going to end this and utterly forgot even the inkling I had of its destination when I started typing it... ELLIPSES!)
@Shog9 I watched Casino Royale again last night ... that's what was on the text message that he used to get through the security door at the airport! Classic!
At least I don't have to sneak liquor into my livingroom. Movies are better with alcohol.
@drachenstern I'm... unlikely to go that route any time soon. I may spend 90% of my evening just reading, but typing on a touch-screen still breaks my relaxation.
Look look, Microsoft ran some friendly tests that prove that Microsoft comes out ahead when it's pandered to!! And also, they have fancy contacts at big sciency places
Speaking of battery life though... Went in to the office Friday after finding myself unable to log onto my desktop remotely - found that i'd inadvertently configured the machine to suspend when battery life (UPS) dropped to 10%. And apparently, Windows 2k3 can't differentiate between 10 and 100%.
(I'm sure there's something important I missed, but... it was Friday.)
idk, I reboot mine every night (I've been bitten by three too many "oh, ffs, reboot now?")
@Shog9 Microsoft Office Communicator. What a joy. ............................................... ......................................................... (it needs a lot of room here because really the sarcasm doesn't wear off that fast)</sarcasm>
idk, I mean it's not a bad product, just doesn't always work "as expected"
I just found out this past week that, while there's a rather nice (3rd-party) client for Android, using it simultaneously with the desktop client doesn't really fly - the desktop grabs all the conversations.
I haven't really even tried the Skype Android client yet. It's a nifty idea though. Really, anything that doesn't involve running Skype on the desktop gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling.
When manually generating a JSON object or array, it's often easier to leave a trailing comma on the last item in the object or array. For example, code to output from an array of strings might look like (in a C++ like pseudocode):
s.append("[");
for (i = 0; i < 5; ++i) {
s.appendF("\"%d\...
Hi,
From my experience it is always best to marinate meat for a decent amount of time, so the meat can "soak" up the marinade and be more flavourful.
However, I came across this recipe here: http://www.abc.net.au/tv/cookandchef/txt/s2264630.htm
In the directions, it says: Add pork and marinade ...
As I mentioned before, it was inevitable anyway on account of my upcoming vacation, so. Plus, I can feel that much better about how I spend my time. ;)

@Shog9 That makes me think of this idea/theory in psychology about people in disparate locations having the same dream and what not. It's like some cosmic force connecting your tv to me. ;)
That's a possibility, though I don't have a tv in this room. Well, scratch that. I have an old tv w/o a digital tuner that isn't even plugged into the wall. :)
@Jin My thoughts exactly on the USA ... was listening to "this american life" and someone from Georgia sat in prison for 3 year for forging 2 checks worth 100 bucks.
@Jin if by by OK, you mean ... filled me with rage and made me want shoot someone, you are totally right. @Shog9 thanks will fix
@Shog9 Jeff is not around but I am pretty sure he would be fine with me floating this code out there... I was a little bit vague on it prior to getting his ok
@waffles Oh, I wasn't implying you have to actually post your entire lib... Just that you've missed even describing what you ended up doing before presenting data on how it performed.

I think the last time I "served" oranges to guests, it was sitting with a bag of them and periodically lobbing them across at whoever was looking bored.

It's a secret :)
The exact criteria probably won't be announced, because we don't want people to game it. It's not a straight "greater than X reputation", but based on expertise in a tag, and your recent activity on the site.
Also, we're trickling them out slowly (rather than blasting out 25,0...
We take all the candidates in our system who rank for that tag, sort by their total score in the tag, and figure out where you fall (rounding down to the nearest 10%, and accounting for large blocks of users who all have the same score).
The key bit is "candidates in our system", which only incl...

I need somebody to review this answer; I really don't know how or why it got to -2 - I'm pretty sure its revenge downvoting, but, uh, is there something wrong with it that I can't see?
I'm new to Macs and got a 2011 MacBook Pro a few weeks ago and when I first set it up there was an American Flag on my menu bar. Somehow it has disappeared and I can't figure out how to get it back.
Imagine you're back at school and this is your task.
Using the form on the right, write something interesting using only words from the list of the 100 most commonly used words in English.
The subject, inspiration and execution is entirely your choice. It could be an instruction to an England footballer or a precocious toddler thinking aloud.
The rankings of words come from the Oxford English Corpus of more than a billion written words.
I like the toned down theme on mobile devices, but the recent change to blue links is uncomfortable for me. I have been trying to adjust, and I know it's ether for usability, but I liked it when the links were dark. Can I please have my dark links back, or at least the option to choose?

@Shog9 speaking of killing parents ... watched Bambi over the weekend (had a toddler underfoot, she didn't want to goto sleep) and that is not the movie I remember it being. I encourage people to watch it again.

Usually I just cut them into 6 pieces (see image), but it's kind of messy to eat them this way.
Is there a better way?
