Wikipedia says 9.6, 9.8, and 10.0 million km^2 respectively. Do these numbers include something (e.g. water) that the numbers you quoted don't? (They also peg Russia at 17.0 million km^2)

One that I've hit recently is that an open colour picker window prevents quit from doing anything. It also doesn't show the colour picker window, so I don't know why GIMP isn't quitting, just that pressing a common key combination (cmd+q) doesn't work for no good reason (colour picking is not an operation that needs to block quitting).

If you now mandate that the worker salary MUST be $12 or higher than $12, McDs is losing money. So you either pray for an increase in business (sales), or cut costs (ie, fire people) and automate.
Or you increase prices. Or a combination of the three.

I agree. Overwriting the close tab and next/previous tab shortcuts causes me a lot of frustration. Thankfully few webpages do it.

Where are they? All I can find are the compressed copies of the html + source files.

Actually, the DS has sold nearly 150 million, not 50.

Re:Hacker News Needs Honeypots

This discriminates against users who cannot flag and users who do not flag. Since the only way to improve one's h-value is to flag more honeypots, it basically means that someone who can't/doesn't flag will have at best an h-value of -1. So would the h-value not be counted for people with few/no flags?

It's an unfortunate event, but it's a bit ridiculous just how many links are relating to this.
Re:Poll: which version of XCode do you use?

I've done that, and unfortunately attempting to switch those to ctrl+tab and ctrl+shift+tab instead changes them to cmd+ctrl+tab and cmd+ctrl+shift+tab with no way to not use the command button.

It would be nice if I could set shortcuts that don't include the command button. I'm trying to set next/previous tab to be ctrl+tab and ctrl+shift+tab, but I'm required to use the command button so it breaks the standard shortcut keys that pretty much every other tabbed application use.

Do you apply this to other mediums, such as movies? They are also self-regulated, so theoretically your kids could also purchase "scantily clad, dripping-with-blod warrior princess"-themed movies from a video store that isn't following the industry regulations.
