Having both a B.Sc Computing and an MBA, I whole-heartedly agree with the original sentiment. I do, however, object to the use of the term 'hack'. 'Hack' code, we don't need more of.

Calibrating to zero will only work if you're gaining weight - scales aren't generally built to be able to display negative weights :)

I thought the password for everything was 'swordfish'. How ca it not be in the list!

How do you feel about "I'm very good at math but suck at doing arithmetic in my head. Ask me to calculate a 15% tip in my head and I freeze like a deer in headlights. Ask me to describe (and do) calculus and I'm off to the races."?

Err... you did this post already, just a few months ago. [lifehacker.com]

Actually, a lot of cross-site-scripting attacks do look like (wait for it) website scripting. Unlikely to take down underwater drones unless it's a question of using XSS to get malware loaded onto a Pentagon computer, but conceivably possible.

It's wrong that I want to sign up for this & just take test after test to see how I do, isn't it.

"Pedal", unless you're in sales.

Ys aren't the children of Xs, they're the children of Baby Boomers. Generations interleave, as (in general) the teens of one don't produce the next.

The statement looks fine to me: although Catholic churches point east-west (if that's true), Christian churches (which includes the subset of Catholic ones pointing east-west and non-Catholic ones pointing in other directions) point every which way.

Oh, "fucking meow" as Carlin would say.

Or use these: [www.greenies.com] Seriously, whoever came up with those deserves a Nobel Prize. We have to give the cat 2 pills/day and with these, she takes them herself.

"When Earth is going through the December's solstice, the axis is tilted away from the Sun." I'm having trouble picturing this. The North pole may be tilted away from the Sun, but then wouldn't the South pole be tilted towards it? Is the phrasing perhaps Northocentric?

I think the truth is that _studies_ are bad for us!

Am I the only one who thinks the 'space junk' problem could be solved with a big ol' magnet & someone good at Katamari Damacy?

That's the funny thing about finite systems - the resources are fine until all of a sudden they aren't. Then they're gone.

Sounds like someone should set up a Flickr account/gallery with reference photos. Would have to be limited permissions for posting to avoid the trolls, but this should be really easy to implement.

Language changes over time. That's natural and 'correct'. It's ok because it's ok.

I must confess to having a soft spot for the term "The Husbeast". Sorry.
