  1. Re:Error, internet is full on State Rep. Says Biking Is Not Earth Friendly Because Breathing Produces CO2 · · Score: 1

    How could we? From what I hear, the internet is a series of tubes.

  2. Jesus on State Rep. Says Biking Is Not Earth Friendly Because Breathing Produces CO2 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    We really need to limit the stupidity - or ignorance of basic science - in our elected officials.

  3. Re:What I have seen on HTML5 Storage Bug Can Fill Your Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    Xcode is what I use the most. I have Safari open as well as the Activity Monitor where I monitor the Real mem, Private mem and Shared mem.

    Simply quitting Safari will often free up between 6 to 8 GB.

  4. Bossless yet on Can Valve's 'Bossless' Company Model Work Elsewhere? · · Score: 1

    They can't make steam and TF2 stop crashing at least once a day on the Mac and Windows.

    What should be simple state systems in TF2 MVM - upgrading weapon bonuses - often allows you to add more items than you have money for, and if you were a different class previously in the game, often upgrades your previous class's canteen with the previous class's upgrades. (Engie switching to medic)

    Also, you buy a "premium" upgrade, gift it to another player you have and then they downgrade your player. Screw you guys. I spend enough money on this game.

    How can the game ship like this and stay broken for so long?

  5. What I have seen on HTML5 Storage Bug Can Fill Your Hard Drive · · Score: 2

    I've seen Safari taking up to 8 GB of RAM. This seems due to sloppy variable clearing and this makes the swap file larger and can easily end up taking over your HD.

    Safari ends up being the biggest bloated pig with regards to RAM management on my Mac.

    It's "your muscles", not "you muscles" or "you're muscles".

    Hopefully, you're past fourth grade. You should know how to do this by now.

    Yeah there are. There are mixes for unsweetened drinks. Or just get the lemon/lime juice and add the stevia to it. I did this all summer. You can also get a machine at Bed, Bath & Beyond that makes seltzer water and flavored drinks for you.

    Whoa there, Watson. But yes, you are correct.

    Well, if the health insurance companies exist for the purpose of generating a profit, and the auto insurance companies do and so on and so on, then we do exist to feed them money.

    Look, if monetary exchange happened between holders instantly, wouldn't this "economy" thing all collapse as a giant shell game that is dependent upon one thing for survival, growth?

    I really think that lack of readily available sugar is the real problem.

    Bullshit. He's either a help to the team or a risk to the team.

    If he can't improve, there are others waiting to fill his place.

    If he creates shit, it is likely that you will be responsible for maintaining it later.

    Conduct code reviews - declare standards of "this shall not pass" as acceptable code.

    If he keeps sucking, then this is a problem and it's his boss's duty to know about it and do something about it.

  22. Visually hideous on Apple Declutters, Speeds Up iTunes With Major Upgrade · · Score: 1

    Simply put, the interface is visually hideous. The indicator that tells you which part(s) of the screen you can drag to resize the window are missing, the look and fonts are different from every other part of the Mac interface and the precedent it set - and what people are used to.

    The gradation looks like something done by a high school student in Photoshop.

    It's just simply bad.
