I bought my Aeron used in 2003. It's only now starting to wear out, and that's only in the places on the seat where I sit with me feet in the chair. My shoes have worn some of the cross webbing.

Just can't go wrong with the Aeron.

There are software jobs outside of Seattle.

I'm in USA. Not a whole lot up until the very end. I tend to ignore it pretty well until it all gets close then obsession with it kicks in. I pretty much know election day is a productivity write off for me so I just don't worry about it, its only a day every 4 years.

In case anyone wants to do this now I found this after a quick search

Hopefully this sets a precedent that eventually shuts down the revenge porn sites.

Weird they don't show for me. I even went back and looked again. Still no watercolors. Using Safari and feeling stupid now.

When you first sit in an Aeron you think, what's all the fuss about?

But sit in one for awhile and you realize one day that the chair isn't bothering you like every other chair does after a few hours.

And they last forever. I have 2 and the oldest I bought used in 2002.

Grab a good deal on a used one.

I thought there would be at least one watercolor, or one warning. I was wrong.

Jeez man I think we all get it. You have a product you want to sell. Spamming is not the way to promote your email product.

I know of one theatre that has an adults only floor. Same movies and same start times as the general audience floor. No kids allowed, they have a bar, and people dress up to go there. I assume there are others doing the same.

I love the down votes on this. Must have hurt some feelings.

+1

and then there is also that bit about no such thing as a "software engineer" …

Am I the only person who had to come here to the comments to even find out what this library does?

The winjs page is just a bunch of buzzwords randomly strung together.

At first I thought the same. I went in to edit records, and I hit save. I checked again and it was working. I assumed there was just a delay of a minute or so and that clicking save was a coincidence.

My domain is on v1 now and its still working.

If your site is down and you are on v2, Switch to v1. It only takes a minute and it works.

Jottacloud looked interesting, and I signed up. But then they pulled the stunt that really aggravates me, which is:

Easy signup, only needing email and password. But then on first login, require personal information to continue, and will not allow to skip.

I always feel scammed when software does this to me.

1. Steve Gass in an attorney who invented an awesome product. He took it around to every saw manufacturer in existence, and they were of course all interested.

2. Mr Gass demanded an unheard of and unrealistic percentage of the total sale price to include his technology.

3. Every manufacturer declined.

4. Steve Gass then rolled up his legal sleeves and tried several times, unsuccessfully, to have the U.S. Government require all manufacturers to license his technology and include his product in their saws.

That is why no one sells a SawStop except for Steve Gass.

----------- sorry, couldn't resist :)

I saw this once. It was quite a few years back, through my 8" dob in my front yard. I saw a flash and couldn't imagine what it could have been except an impact.

After some research online that night I began to doubt myself, most people concluded it was too rare and would not be visible.

The next day I saw someone asking in a newsgroup about the mysterious flash he had seen the night before while observing the moon through his telescope. Again, the general consensus was that he couldn't have seen an impact, it was too rare and would not be visible.

I checked with him and we both saw the flash at the same time.

I also saw a satellite transit the moon once with that same telescope, it was so cool.

And to think I don't even pull it out anymore. Sad....

Unfortunately yes. I used chocolaty to install speccy and got Google Chrome and Google Toolbar installed -- silently.

Sadly stackoverflow has gotten to mean for anything but the most difficult questions, worded perfectly. They need to also be solved in the same paragraph to escape the wrath of stack.

What you are proposing has been done already, well -- sort of.

That's it, thanks

Really cool article.

I wanted to list a book I have, Computers in Space by James E Tomayko, covering hardware and UI of Apollo & Gemini, also hardware breakdown of Viking and others. Lot's of photos and a very interesting read. I looked on Amazon but didn't see it, not sure if it's out of print.

I think the reasons you list are why people really dislike Zynga, but those things alone are not enough to explain the pure hate people have for the company.

The reason I think they are evil is the way they treat their employees, beginning with forcing developers to give back stock before their IPO. This latest stunt is just piling on.

Good, reasonable response, IMO.

Ben, I don't know Jacques and don't pretend to speak for him, but I gather from his post that the scaling issue, and you not being able to accommodate him, would have been no big deal if he had not already been through the nightmare of migrating with bad documentation and support not handling that properly.

I think cascading frustration is what got him.
