Does anyone know how to make Firefox or Safari take up as little screen real estate as Chrome on MacOS? One of the things that initially drew me to Chrome was how fast it was and how little space the window itself uses. Switching back to Safari or FF now makes them feel huge and unwieldy.

Ah, I see what you mean. I'm with you that disagreement can be healthy... but (in my mind) a healthy disagreement isn't trolling. There are a lot of ways to disagree, but as long as the tone of the disagreement is always inquisitive or respectful I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Trolls, at least in my…

Unfortunately, being thoughtful in your disagreement often takes more time. It's easier, shorter and faster to just say, "No, you're wrong." Still, it can be done!

Yeah, I noticed they clipped the GPS transmitter and whatever onto the back of the iPad, so it fell back-down. Still, I wouldn't have wanted them to drop it un-cased, so I guess it did something. ;-)

Everyone seems to be taking this article to mean that simply disagreeing is being a troll, but I don't think that's Mat's point. I can't interpret his motivations, but what I think he's saying is that it's not if you disagree, it's how you disagree. He differentiates between people who can accept that others hold…

In what way is entropy provided by trolls vital to an online community?

vertigo did use it right, it's just a matter of opinion whether you think this article does it or not. Sexual objectification of women is the degradation of their worth to their usefulness for the sexual pleasure of others (such as making the attractiveness of a woman a primary concern). I don't particularly see this…

5 stars is pretty much the standard, as far back as newspaper restaurant reviews (and possibly farther, I just don't recall anything earlier). You can google "5 star restaurants" or "5 star hotels" and find a variety of lists of fancy dining or luxury suites, respectively. Even now, most reviews on websites use the…

Am I the only one that wants to stand in the middle and pretend I'm Magneto?

I'd never heard of it... but then most parties I go to are BYOB-ish where everyone shows up with a cold 6-pack or two and tosses them in the cooler. I can't remember the last party I went to that had a punch bowl. Even as I got older, we just switched from beer to... well, still beer, but mostly red wine. You can fit…

He's not afraid to whip out the old sword and joust with a dude, either, as I understand.

I know, right? Every knight should be able to fight at least as well as Sir Elton John does.

Sometimes, when you're not at home and I'm wearing your clothes, I pretend that I am you and that your family is really my family and your life is really my life. Is that what you mean?

Umm... you should never use a numeral for a quantity less than 10, or ever if the number starts a sentence. So, technically, that should read, "second paragraph." Just sayin'.

I'd like to offer Jumps the Gunner: Formulates a question, complaint, concern or semi-convincing humor analogue within the first three sentences of an article, jumps to the comment section to post it without seeing it's answered, explained, rebutted, made moot and unfunny later in the same article.

The 'stache flask might make a funny gag gift... I've got plenty of friends who would find that pretty clever (for about 10 minutes, but repeated every time someone new found the flask).

Amen to that. You gotta trust someone... and if you didn't trust her, why are you living together, right? Once you get to that point, I'm an open book.

Password to what? Or do you use the same password for everything? I could see not wanting her in your email, but if you change your Netflix password every time she wants to watch an episode of How I Met Your Mother when you're not home that's paranoid.

My most recent ex (we dated for 6 years) knows pretty much all my passwords. She even has the pin to my debit card. And I'm pretty sure at one point she knew my social security number. I don't worry, though. We've always been good like that (even now). I'm not saying I give every girlfriend all my info, or that she…

As pointed out in the article, these vehicles are more like proof of concept, rather than intended to be deployed. They threw a bunch of fuel-saving technologies together to see how it works, and what works, and they can then use that to decide how to proceed. Putting low-rolling resistance tires on the whole fleet,…
