The Bio would make Tufte proud.

@MaQ: It's true png is used a lot more, but gif will stick around thanks to ajax and 89a.

@Tim Gee: I think with Linux the big argument was whether it was "Lin-icks" or "Lie-nicks". I recall an audio file floating around on usenets with Linus saying how he pronounced Linux.

When riding the 2nd-3rd class rails in Pakistan and India you will find vendors selling chains and locks to secure your luggage. I saw someone tie their luggage and themselves to their seat with said chain and lock when asleep.

@stan-the-man: Not true.. there is always print.

@Elliuotatar: Yeah, and if I recall "NIKE" even lit up when they got laced.

@Rob Oakes: To your point about issues because network traffic. I keep a 10/100/1000 switch behind my entertainment rack, and for things streaming video, or ps3 network gameplay I use the wired network. As for streaming from the internet, a 50mbps internet connection helps.

As others have said, this technique has been use for a very long time, even in cinema. Off hand, there's a scene in West Side Story that uses it.

I may try this one.. I have shot many many sunrises and sunsets over the last 15+ years. Below is a lighthouse at sunset on Prince Edward Island from a month or so ago.

I was trying to find video of Richard Pryor from Superman 3, when he realizes in his drunken stupor he has to put the keys in at the *same* time.

@psychiccheese: Classic episode. Definitely my favorite.

The actual Carcassonne is a pretty cool place to visit - it's in South France.

Sounds like the narration is done with text-to-speech.

Outside the standard apps, I would say MagicHour for my photography addiction, and Scrabble for my Scrabble addiction.

Aquatech makes the best rain gear for cameras and is what I use. A cheaper alternative similar to this photo is something called Shutter Hat.

@cinnamonster: Yes, but until we get 3G Facetime, Jeff won't be able to look into Vijay's eyes and see how he really feels about the picture.

I think if there were more goals in soccer the referees would have an easier time recognizing them.
