I don't consider myself a genius, but thanks! That was my whole point, by the way — "NSFW" is a poorly chosen term, as, taken literally, it applies to a lot of things. In reality, it is used a euphemism for terms like "vulgar", "offensive" or "pornographic", and I'd prefer to know which one of these things to expect…

This depends on what you write. If it's a story, maybe it's true, but maybe it's just King's personal preference, his own procedure, which may work for some but not for others. I haven't written fiction; however, I've written lengthy reports (in prose) to the organization which gives my workplace funding, and I have…

You mean Cmd + Opt + V? Been there since Lion.

You mean Cmd + Opt + V? Been there since Lion.

Not to be provocative, but do people really use tabbed browsing in Finder? The idea of a tabbed, not windowed, full-screen Finder, which was missing in Lion, seems appealing, but in practice it's just not that convenient. A split view, like in FTP clients, would seem to work much better than a tabbed view, even if…

Protip: your shoulders shouldn't rise if you're doing it right.

This is truly awful. I'm a guy and I haven't tried online dating. However, from what I can infer from reading this, if men say online dating isn't easy for them, that probably has something to do with the competition among the guys (look how many guys wrote to this one fake-female account) as well as, probably more…

Somebody seems to prefer the System 7 look.

Why are these lizard guys getting so much hate? I'm not denying that what they did was high-grade A-holery, but so is any hack, and I can't remember people getting this bitter about LulzSec releasing the e-mail addresses of porn freaks, Anonymous/AntiSec hacking law enforcement websites and releasing data,…

Well, I tried.

Haha. Maybe I just have a vivid imagination.

That's not that impossible. Imagine there's a bee somewhere below your left ear. You grab a coat hanger by one end with your right hand and swat at your neck. You hold it close to yourself because your target is on your own body. The hook can easily get caught in one of your nostrils.

An ice pick and a turkey baster. In the rectum. No. Just no.

EXACTLY! A few weeks ago, I made the same argument regarding claims of sexism – that is, somebody claimed that pointing out flawed logic and/or hypocrisy in a woman's argument is sexist. I replied that they are being sexist for implying that women can't be expected to make a rational argument, or should be treated…

GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!

All I could think of was this.

The most efficient way to get the person to stop calling you requires you to say one sentence: "Please put me on your do not call list." Don't say "Can you put me on your do not call list?" or "I don't want to get these calls." This will lead them to ask why. Be polite, but firm. If they ask why or won't do it right…

Don't let the telemarketer call you back at another time. Anything that's not a hard "no" will be interpreted as an opportunity to call you back. When you say "This isn't a good time," the telemarketer hears "Call me back later!" When you say "Sorry, I don't have time to talk about this right now" the telemarketer…

Six years ago, there was a rumor that Windows 7 would have a circular dock like this. Spoiler: It didn't, but at least there were quite a few apps written to provide this feature.

Seconded, although sometimes I actually find myself using Launchpad instead (four finger pinch and type), maybe because it looks sweet or maybe because it searches only apps, as opposed to Spotlight, which searches everything. Both Spotlight and Launchpad are equally easy and fast ways to open an app, although only…
