One year, when I was vending at a music festival, another vendor was selling 'salmon corndogs', which is cubes of fresh-caught salmon on a stick, covered in a lemon-dill cornmeal batter, deep-fried to golden perfection. I'm normally a cheap skate, and bring my own meals, but that day, I sunk more of my profit into…

Yes and no. Fiber isn't a magically infinite resource, and doesn't go to everyone's home. I've been in the situation of having standard copper cable, and watching my speed drop by 70% and my latency double or triple, depending on the time of day (i.e. how many users are active), because that ISP didn't regulate…

Neither is Canada. I'm a ten minute walk from both busy downtown and quiet forest. Jelly?

For those of you lamenting the loss of developer openness, the Wolfire devs have turned it up to 11.

I know what you mean. My kids were all home schooled until they reached 16, and I remember that the first comment that my daughter made about public school was how immature the other girls her age were. (A lot of her online time was spent in venues where a high percentage of the participants were adults.)

Ironically enough, darker roasts have less caffeine, not more.

If you want a *lot* of fun, give your cat some catnip, then pull out a laser pointer. :grin:

Over thirty years ago, we would wrap bannock around wieners, cook them over the campfire, then dip them in a cup of pasta sauce. Yum.

Exactly.

...that's why you make maple butter. (i.e. 2-3 parts butter to 1 part maple syrup. B-grade is best.)

For that, you can thank the public education system.

(Here are parts 1 and 2 of setting up VPN on a router running Tomato firmware.)

FWIW, both VMware Player's 'unity' and VirtualBox's 'seamless mode' have both the client and host OS's sharing a common desktop.

Whether or not your CPU supports virtualization, you can still run a VM.

Once you have text selected, you can drag that selection to a new position with the mouse. Many text editors will also let you copy a selection by dragging while holding down the <CTRL> key.

As someone who has cooked many times for people with food 'problems', it absolutely baffles me that people don't realize how easy it is to create a menu that avoids certain ingredients. 99% of non-processed foods don't contain gluten. Likewise, nuts, dairy, etc. The key word is 'non-processed'; the chance that…

I'm the same way; white rice is okay, but brown rice with a splash of balsamic vinegar tastes AMAZING.

For more security, rotate the keys for each letter. For example, press the key above for the first letter, above and right for the second, right for the third, etc. It's still fairly easy to decipher if you know the trick, but good luck, otherwise!

OTOH, I *would* spend $280 on a toaster that *always* made perfect toast. ...then buttered if for me.

Actually, having the GPS data in photos is *very* useful. For one thing, if you take a *lot* of pics, you now have the option to sort them by location. (e.g. photos taken at the lake)
