I have a Surface 2 Pro. I held out against buying a tablet until the Surface came along because of a single question: can it run Matlab, Visual Studio, Photoshop, or Illustrator?

The NASA square is more like a NADA square :\

IIRC Gogo also injects ads into the webpages you visit. Including secure sites. Like WTF I’m paying for a man-in-the-middle attack?

I so very agree!

The thing is that MSG is used often to add flavour to otherwise bad-tasting inferior ingredients. It's not MSG; it's was it's usually put with.

I can appreciate what I have in life, but I can't bring myself to do what this article is suggesting because I just feel that I'm full of myself if I do it.

Also, you'll be able to finish the conversation on a happier/better note, which makes everyone leave the conversation feeling better.

My take is to take a phrase (preferably relatively long, say 10 words), and hash it, and then use the resulting hash as my password. The hash looks completely random (hold down the shift key for capitals and punctuation), and you can just hash the phrase again in case you forgot the password.

MMS has started working for me in the past 6 months. I can't send MMS though the GV number, but receiving is no problem (including forwarding to my actual phone).

All Apple computers use a mini-displayport output. Also Alienwares laptops. My m15x has a VGA and a DP out.

Fun fact: Visual Studio has a built-in web browser, which makes it really easy to hide.

I just use the GPS mileage count and total time.

I made black cupcakes for my friends on Valentine's Day. Everybody pooped nuclear green afterwards.

I agree with both points. There's something about the physical act of writing information down that makes it more easily retained, which is why I held out on pen-and-paper notes while everyone moved to using iPads. (I've recently replaced all my notebooks with a Surface Pro, but that's because the Surface Pro uses a…

Sucking at something is the first step to being sorta good at something

Agreed. Yes, it is hard and not as beginner-friendly, but god, once you learn it, c/c++ literally opens up the world. Basically every other language becomes easy (well, maybe not assembly).

If your resolution includes running, the best way to make sure you keep doing it is to join a race. Hell, I'm not letting that $85 half marathon fee go to waste.

NASA's track history is pretty good imo. The lack of a US manned space program is no so much NASA's problem, but rather Congress' and the general public's, who stopped seeing a value in NASA after the end of the space race because space exploration doesn't give immediate tangible returns (long-term returns are…
