If you've got particularly dexterous fingers you could probably count in Ternary and get to 59048, much higher than binary's 1023

A bit like 99 in French: quatre-vingt-dix-neuf

four twenties and ten and nine

When I was around 14 years old I was baby sitting a kid who was 3 or 4 or something. He came up to me and said "I bet I can say a bigger number than you." clearly proud of what he had just learnt in preschool. I accepted the challenge, he took a deep breath and said "Five hundred!", so I said "Five hundred and one". He looked determined and said "Ok then! Five hundred and fifty hundred and five hundred million hundred five hundred" (Or something that makes no sense like that). So I said "Five hundred and fifty hundred and five hundred million hundred five hundred, and one". He looked horrified and said "Can you just say 'and one' for any number?" I told him yes, and he said "Cool!".

I wish I had learnt a foreign language, preferably either German, or one with a cool not Latin script, like Russian

We will have self aware AI before we have reliable printers.

With more users won't you get more questions being asked?

Well you are still potentially stopping your competitors from making money on their product.

Not really related. When the N64 had been out for a while it was £99.99. My brothers and I begged for it, but my mum said it was too expensive and she would consider it when the price went down. Later that week we were all watching the TV together and an advert for the N64 came on, and at the end it said "Buy now for £99.98!". We all celebrated until my mum said that didn't count. We never got one in the end.

$ which echo

echo: shell built-in command.

Something interesting I found out whilst following these instructions: My version of linux has two different echo commands `echo` and `/bin/echo`.

The basic one cannot accept any flags and when I type `echo "\x01"` it prints `\x01`

The one in bin can accept flags, and requires the -e flag to interpret backslashes.

This changes the echo line of the program to this:

`/bin/echo -e "\x01"`

I found this out because it was changing the byte from 00 to 5C rather than 01, because 5C is the ASCII for \

The three logos next to the text "Logo Design in Minutes" are a bit blurry on my setup.

This is a cool idea, though it doesn't really work for me. I've only heard of a couple of the artists it suggested, and that is because I know that I dislike them. Perhaps if you could select a genre other than pop?

My cat can easily ruin my focus.

> having a beer at lunch is unprofessional, and driving after a few drinks, while not encouraged, is far more accepted.

I once got told by a former employer (At a pub) that if I didn't have a few drinks whilst on shift with him that I was being rude. His only exception to this was if you drove to work.

> "It would be fun to actually experiment with wine drinking," Sharpe said. "Of course, this was a university event, so we couldn't exactly do it on campus."

Having been a student in the UK, this sounds really strange.

If it was an important security patch for a bug that hadn't been publicly disclosed, rolling out to a few machines might be as good as disclosing the bug.

You could outsource your customer service to taxi drivers

Pretty much the only reason I use Chrome over Firefox is because there is only one bar to type things into in Chrome, and it 'knows what I mean', where as Firefox has two and it never knows what I mean.

Sorry for the OT.

> The good cars (and jobs) sell and sell quickly, while the bad cars (and jobs) stay on the market—so the market becomes saturated with bad cars/jobs, and the actual good cars/jobs become so rare that people invest more in pursuing them than they're worth, creating a sort of dollar-auction market failure.

This, at least in my experience, is exactly what happens with musicians seeking bands.

My cat will eat spiders and flies and then will say yuck when I serve her up some gourmet fish in jelly. "I had this exact same flavour last week!"

I had this with my Moto X too, I downloaded a EQ app and lowered all of the dials by an equal amount and that seems to have worked.

I count three times as many, is this an accent thing?

If anyone from FB is here: I am ok with videos autoplaying, but if I then click to watch the video, please start it from the start. So many times I see something that looks funny, click it, and then all I get is the punch line as the video carries on from halfway through.

I'd just like to add more weight to the "Let the quotes breathe more". As soon as a page of quotes loaded up, my TL;DR alarm was firing, but after ignoring that and reading a few in isolation it was pretty cool.
