Did this guy make it?

I second that. U.S. Scare is the worst.

Cool. Now I know the gender in German of "keyboard," which was undoubtedly borrowed from American English along with all sorts of other words in the two decades since the Wall came down.

Terminal emulator? I gotta try that. Can you write/run Perl scripts with it?

I use the command line in Mac OS X. I even write Perl scripts on my MacBook to demo stuff for my grad school classes. I guess that makes me geekier than somebody who has no idea that Linux is just one of many flavors of Unix, OS X also being one of them.

People forget that ham radio operators were the ur-geeks of mid-century America, as were those who couldn't get enough of MAD and knew how to solve the fold-in without creasing the back cover.

The answer to the question "how do you spend Bitcoin?" is "as quickly as possible on whatever you can get." Bitcoin is not real money, and anyone who would accept it is an even bigger sucker than you for holding it thinking you can get something of value in exchange for it.

Actually, it was Leo Bloom who said that, while cooking Bialystock's books.

And no significant other either, I take it. Mine will carelessly pick up and toss any item in her way to the back seat. I recently nearly missed a medical appointment because of that. I can see her picking up that hot, melty thing, getting ready to dispose of it someplace, and spilling the contents all over herself …

You win the thread.

That would work, unless I wanted to put my large coffee in there.

You've gotten me started.

Beat me to it. First of all, I find most artificially produced fragrances absolutely abhorrent. Second, leave a Yankee Candle in your car, leave car in boiling hot parking lot, and watch hilarity ensue the first time somebody knocks the thing over. And it will happen; you can bet your paycheck on it.

Crack Pipe <<====H|=====>> Nice Price

Neutral: How close is your MPG to the EPA number? You doing better or worse than the EPA says you should do? Is it your car? Your drive? Your under inflated tires?

Nissan says they're working on a new Li-Ion battery that can work just as well under extreme desert heat as it can under normal conditions.

P = NP?
