Can we do something about the scroll bars in Xcode? I guess everyone over at Apple is using Xcode on Cinema Display Monitors (the handful of occasions I've done many of Xcode's design decisions go from "functional, nice" to "inspired, make perfect sense").
The "utilities" right sidebar, though, if you are working on a…
Do NOT try to insist on being sent home from the hospital the day you've been a terror victim. $8k for the outpatient, $125k for 1 night in the hospital. Lesson learned.
Wow, I had never heard of this before. That explains a lot.
there was a bug in Civ I that would make his aggression loop back around from low to max when he got something lategame that drops aggression. This bug has had homage in every other civ game by giving him high nuke aggression.
Gandhi stole all my cows and then threatened me with elephants. :'(
What a great article. Sid is an amazing game designer and I really hope he continues to do what he does.
Here, read this article I wrote awhile back. I didn't discuss harnesses in the article, but I did discuss them in the comments. Dogs tend to slip out of harnesses by pulling backwards - in fact, I've never seen a single harness (that didn't have a collar built in) that a dog couldn't easily slip out of if they walked…
This is NOT true. As a pet safety expert for a nonprofit rescue organization, I can tell you that harnesses lead to more lost dogs and traffic accidents than collars. For shame, lifehacker!
Yeah, I tried walking one of my cats on a leash once. Once.
I had a neighbor who used to walk her cat with a leash, not in a harness, though. It was fascinating and the cat didn't mind. Sure, the owner had to let the cat lead moreso than a dog owner would. None of my cats would have EVER tolerated this, but it can be done. Cats being pretty lazy, I think they would prefer to…
There are animals which require and enjoy a public walking. Please consider your cats, raccoons and other wild beasts as not part of this family of walkable creatures.
As a cat owner, whenever I have to put a body harness on my cat I make sure there is a cellphone in the same room with 911 on speed dial. You know, just in case. Taking it off requires a blood offering too.
That cat is going to destroy that owner.
I must object to the title of the article in general. There is NO such things as "too many" giant rubber ducks. It's only natural for the Chinese to show support for the super-giant one that was spotted deflated in Hong Kong a few weeks ago. Patriotism! Solidarity! It's like showing a political poster! ...Except those…
This confusion is exactly why bits should be phased out of the "average person" lexicon. The overwhelming majority of people never encounter a scenario where discussing data in terms of bits is useful to them. Using bits definitely looks good in an ISP's official literature. 50-55Mb looks way better than 6.5MB/sec…
If Techquickie wasn't already in my subscription feed, those air quotes would make me skip the video. There are some things that are cool in person, but should not be captured in still frame. It's like the unwritten rule of comic art about not showing the contact of a punch.
