Because you can't spy on what the user is typing in the mail or text message composer views on ios.

Every Lenovo I have used at work in the past 2 years has put out this super high pitched sound. Like the sound you could hear from an old tv. It drives me absolutely out of my mind to the point where I have to wear headphones when using one.

This is hardly specialized knowledge but in 24 after every commercial break we were treated to a digital clock displaying the current time. They were using some digital clock number font that was not monospaced so the numbers spread and shrink right in front of you as the clock "ticks", which of course would never happen on a real clock face.

If its like the laptops you press down with 2 fingers at once.

I used to work at an amusement park that did that as well.

I would buy the public service line if more then half of our mail didn't go straight into the trash. I am excited when I see a Fedex box on the door step. Not so much when I see a mail box full of junk addressed to current resident.

Another cool one to try the spinner 3 in a row

Maybe next year

Crowds are actually what segways are best at. You can easily control your speed and turn in place. There is a reason mall cops use them rather then bikes.

The only extra "configuration" I have experienced with rails 3 is adding routes as I used to abuse the default routes. But yes they decoupled a lot of things but it's not like you have to require them through xml config files there is no change in set up. It still works as usual in the default configuration This is just link bait.

The best line "The message to minors: These photos can ruin your lives, kids. And just to prove it, we're going to ruin your lives."

I got started when I learned you could program a TI 83

Worse case scenario you can always just go in and make every one of your pixels blue for your avatar and you are back where you were. But I agree I need like a flashing arrow pointing to you when you first load.

Thanks, Yeah I should have guessed that people would try and trap people. That seems to have worked out on its own as every wall near the start has been vaporized now.

You guys are totally trashing the place and I love the guy who is putting up fake walls.

The author here. The whole thing is written in Rails and hosted on Heroku which has been great. Canvas was surprisingly easy to work with coming from almost no javascript experience. Anyways let me know what you think. Thanks

I see you guys running all over the place. Give me some feedback. Is drawing intuitive? Do you wish you could customize your character?

The automatic restart caused us no end of difficulties at my work. We were running long running data loading integration test scripts on windows boxes. Nothing worse then finding out that the script that was supposed to run over the weekend made it 8 hours then the machine rebooted to install updates.

I love this type of analysis even thought I will probably never need to use it.

He uses tons of chemical fertilizer not pesticides big difference.

It absolutely does.

In my old school system it was against the rules to walk until high school. I vividly remember that they knew someone was riding their bike to school but couldn't figure out who so they confiscated the bike to see who came for it. My wife was waiting at her nephews bus stop to pick him up in the rain just yesterday (first week of school) the bus driver says I don't recognize you and has to call the school to see if she is on the list (she is) 30 minutes later they let her take her nephew and say "Can't be too careful!". It is mind boggling

There is a slight stat game going on here that may or may not be intentional. The evidence is at #10 Ford Escape FWD. Trucks and SUV's come in a variety of transmission configurations and are actually counted as unique models for these stats.

Here is normalized list from earlier this month http://money.cnn.com/2009/08/07/autos/cash_for_clunkers_sale...
