    -v, --verbose
    This option increases the amount of information you are given
    when reading a post. By default, first posts are cryptic and
    force readers to click on random URLs. A single -v will
    give you information about what the heck the first poster
    really meant and a brief summary at the end. Two -v flags will give
    you information on what was skipped (intentionally or not) by the
    second poster and slightly more information at the end (than you
    probably wanted to know). More than two -v flags should only be
    used if you are debugging your browser or are a glutton for punishment.

  8. White Balance! by Basehart · · Score: 3, Funny

    Anybody who risks voiding their warranty taking apart an iPod should really take the time to set white balance, if possible, so we don't end up looking at yellow versions of what I'm sure is a brilliant white object. That said, I really appreciate people taking the time pulling this stuff apart. Bravo.
