@steve at food on the table: I didn't sign up for your site as I'm in Canada, but here are a few suggestions:

@AmishJohn: Meh.: +1

@dexter_greycells: What I'm getting from what you are saying is that it would be handy to have the package manager include an option to let you pick a series of packages, and, from that list, create a script file that would, when run, automatically link to the appropriate repositories, then download and install the…

@MattyMattMatt: I'm going to be cremated, after every usable part of my body has been handed out. As for my ashes, my family has been directed to "hold the handle down until the water flows clear." :D

@djsmiley2k: I can play SNES games in my head with zero steps! :P

@BigGreenMonster: Attaching something like this to it should do the trick.

@dexter_greycells: Ummm... Unless you are being sarcastic, you already do, either through the package manager or

In all honesty, I can't think of a single thing within the last 5 years or so that wasn't so technical and specific that even explaining my error would have everyone in the room thinking 'what the hell is he talking about?' It's not that I don't make the occasional mistake; I've just gotten so paranoid about…

For the love of $DEITY, DO NOT POINT A HIGH POWERED LASER AT A LCD DISPLAY!!!

@taminosk: I'll make it easy for you: start here.

Only 3 references? :ouch: A good, full-time contractor should have generated at least 5 refs for each year he's been in business. (One good sign is if he has a good relationship with his former employers, and they stand as references.) Even at that, the basic formula is that, for each digit of your budget after…

@se7a7n7: I know what you mean. My wife was actually furious that I wouldn't play it so she could get bonuses.

A little fact about Metric: 1 cubic centimetre of water has a volume of 1 millilitre and a mass of 1 gram.

Wow. I'm not sure how it was missed, except because it is simply too obvious, but you need to bump those nine down one notch, because the TRUE number one myth is that having antivirus/antispyware/etc. security software guarantees your system is safe. There will always be a period of time between when malware is…

The biggest problem I've found with reading MSO docs in OpenOffice/Google Docs/Zoho/etc. isn't highly tuned documents with lots of exotic tweaks, but ones created by incompetent writers, who throw dozens of half-assed techniques together and create a monster that even Office can barely display. (Want a double border…

@infmom: Yes, actually, it is. A year and a half without a single scratch more says so. (It's not the cloth itself, but dust and grit trapped between the cloth and the lens, like I said.)

@GeneralBattuta: What struck me about the MW2 maps was there was absolutely no sense of 'our side/their side'. In almost every other game I play, there is always some form of front line, and it takes a good deal of skill to sneak behind the enemy lines to do some dirty work. With MW2, most of the maps seem to throw…

@Cofi: Comes up with exciting new strategies based on pure creativity, as opposed to boring ones based on reality.

@CloserDivision: Was? You mean you don't play it anymore? I'll give you $50 for it. ;D
