Were I queen for a few years, I'd have a mandatory class at every college for freshmen entitled: "You think you're the first person to have that problem?"
But not every freshman has gender issues, probably less than half?
Yes, but my experience was that merge conflicts in Word docs were frequent and painful to resolve. So we introduced a 'lock before edit' convention for Word docs (and same could be said for any file not edited as text).
Merge conflicts in tables are bad enough, and that's fairly basic functionality. Good luck with merging changes to embedded media.
Getting into semantic subtleties here... if you've got a huge DRAM-based disk (that is, an SSD with DRAM instead of flash), that for whatever reason couldn't donate its capacity as system memory, then that's a superb place to put a page file.
But then, it wouldn't be a RAM disk. A RAM disk lives in system memory.
Thanks, that needed to be said. My attempt at satire fell a bit flat.
Agreed, browser cache on a RAM disk *might* be a net win, but if so, consider simply turning off the browser disk cache and/or getting a better browser.
Swap files and browser cache are noted for wearing down SSDs, and don't need to survive a power cycle. I'm definitely going to shift mine to a RAM disk.
That's somewhat similar to my TypeMatrix, but also a bit different. I'd like to try one.
My experience of the TypeMatrix is generally very positive. However, I find the placement of the '5' and '6' keys to be just too different from a standard keyboard, which made for a steep learning curve and ongoing difficulties switching between TypeMatrix (for my desktop) and regular (for my laptop).
Thanks, also came here to suggest an alias for 'ls -l', since that's the worst of the dvorak pinky workouts I've experienced.
On the cut/copy/paste front, I have a numeric keypad positioned on the left of my keyboard, with those commands mapped to 4/5/6, plus a heap of other commands besides. This makes mousing a two-handed activity, just as Doug Engelbart intended.
Integration of North Korea into China might be a more plausible way of the current pickle, than would be Korean reunification.
That's considering the current alignment of the three countries, and also FWIW the lengths of their borders, and a hunch that almost no-one would be worse off than currently if this were to happen.
The way this could happen is China invites NK into the fold, with UN backing, and cuts Kim Jong Un and his pals a really sweet deal.
Feel free to point out the obvious flaws in my suggestion...
Speaking of bringing back digital watches, I really hope Apple makes rumoured device go 'beep' on the hour, every hour. Especially in the middle of the night. I really miss that.
Of course, a simple beep just won't do in this century. Think of the possibilities! It could go 'dong!' or 'cuckoo!', maybe some creepy theremin, or something you paid $2 for on iTunes.
And just think how many times you've gone longer than one hour without remembering to check Facebook. That could be a thing of the past.

When Safari had starter plans for (IIRC) $10/mo I was right into it. Now it's just too expensive.
Worked for Apple.
No wait, Apple's strategy is 'don't let anyone else put their eggs in your basket'.
Or maybe, 'keep all your eggs in an unadorned platinum fruit bowl protected by a gorilla glass display case in the Smithsonian'.
I'm impressed how neatly you covered special cases like turkey airfreight and turkey jetpacks.
In other news, I once saw a peacock fly ten metres straight up and perch in a tree when confronted by a boisterous dog. Didn't expect that.
And also for morning sun, bedrooms should face east, rather than west as in the Southern Hemisphere.
Had you going for a second?
So how am I gonna keep the neighborhood dogs from pooping on my lawn, dagnabbit?

No, a fallacy is only a No True Scotsman fallacy if the reasoning includes the words 'No True Scotsman'.
Can't see any of those around here.
Oh wait...

Must there be a gene which makes you prefer programming Linux to watching Glee?
Too easy. It's called the Y chromosome.

If John Travolta wears one when he's piloting his Boeing, then I'm buying.
How about 'Died Hard'?

Every hen has an 'egg tooth' at birth, so not really that rare. (Not easy to prove it's not from a rooster though, and not strictly a tooth.)
Chicken nipples on the other hand...
Oracle RDBMS - first commercially-available relational database with an SQL interface.
Really? Steve Jobs killed Paul Allen with an axe in the face, and left his body dissolving in a bathtub in Hell's Kitchen?
No wait, as Woz said:
Objection withdrawn.

Are you saying that just to be negative?
