On a completely unrelated note, the html link for that page is really unfortunate... "[...]blogs.hbr.org/cs/2012/07/i_wont_hire_people_who_use_poo.html"

Agreed. "I couldn't help it. She loved me because of the part of me that's a slob and I loved her because of the part of me that's desperate. "

Plus, if as they said the clicks may be a warning, wouldn't growing towards the sound be a bad idea?

I'm going to have to second your remark. And to be honest, I don't see any meaningful similarities between Firefly and Consider Phlebas—not in tone, setting, ... really anything.

Phew! I was worried when you said "eat all our ..." but then you said "hamburgers." If that's all, then fine. Oh wait, there's still the laser part...oh.

But apparently I can't count... :)

Excellent point. For $50K, though, you'd think it would include an advanced fire-suppression system.

Been doing the freezing thing for more than 15 years. One of the things I've learned is that a) you want to angle it to make sure the water doesn't enter the cap area, b) you don't want it all frozen in the bottom, and c) accept the fact that you'll go through water bottles—repeated…

There's no way you're going "miles from shore" in this thing. I can't really think of a waterway here in the US that would allow you to get "miles from shore" and the electric motor would be sufficient to fight the chop and current to get you back...

I love how Jobs always got pissed about Android stealing Apple ideas and always conveniently forgot about all the ideas Apple has "borrowed" from Android and many other technologies over the years. But I guess it isn't surprising from an extremely self-absorbed egomaniac.

Interesting. I will try it, thanks!

Sorry, I can't agree. Popcorn is my favorite snack, but air-popped popcorn (even gourmet) is too flavorless for me. It's pretty much "eating for the sake of", IMO. The popcorn I make is pretty reasonable from a health standpoint, however. 1 Tblspoon of canola oil to 1 heaping half-cup of popcorn. Two shakes of…

That was my reaction as well—we use exactly what you suggested, a small basket with a handle. And go Dawgs!

But, as I think Kyle is pointing out, it also washes out the photo because you getting diffused light rather than reflected light. In most situations (especially indoor arenas) this is the opposite of what you want.

Not to mention that I bet it is a lot easier to visually scan partially complete tally marks than these. Meaning easier to scan a number < 5 than one < 10.

Wait, shrinking monkeys is a thing? This would make meeting my daily dietary requirement of monkeys much easier. Assuming I didn't get arrested.

You're right, and I was. As an example, the UK has much lower standards in those case.

And they would lose. To sue someone for defamation you must also be able to prove "harm". Just lying or making stuff up is not sufficient.

Why do you refer to it as a "problem"? India has one of the healthiest and most productive movie markets in the world. If by problem, you mean "failure to meet unmet customer demand," then I understand.

Well, the studies are pretty hard to ignore. Just google red light camera studies and you'll find that they do a fine or marginal job of ticketing violators but an equal or worse job of reducing driver or pedestrian harm. That latter statistic should be the only one that matters. In at least one study I saw, the…
