It's powered by two Rolls-Royce gas turbines, actually.

This is great. I especially like the cabin noise. I work on ships and for the first week or so after I get home I need some background noise to help me sleep. This one sounds quite close to what one might hear on a ship.

Ships engine rooms are required to have to separate CO2 release controls for exactly that reason. One releases the CO2 into a protected space and the other releases it into the protected space.

It did work for met but the tabs don't match.

>The usual rule of thumb is the cheapest car costs you _at least_ 300 €/month (taxes, depreciation, not counting gas money)!

These prices are hardly uniform across all of Europe. I live in a smallish city in the Netherlands and you can probably own a car for 60 - 100 €/month here.

I think it was mentioned in other places too but I can't find it now.

Yeah. I've read a lot of articles lately that try to divide the entire computer-using world in to two groups. The geeks (us) and the rest (mom). That doesn't jive with reality. There are a lot of people with different levels of computer savvy.

I knew that it was Budweiser even though the commercial never aired where I live. Heck, I'm not even sure you can buy Budweiser here.

If you're using Firefox try App Tabs. It pins a favicon sized tab to the left of the tab bar.

Shipping containers are used for student housing where I live. http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&...

Currently my xmonad.hs looks like this:

  import XMonad
  import XMonad.Config.Gnome
 
  main = xmonad gnomeConfig
                { modMask = mod4Mask
                }

Works perfectly for me, no hassle required.

Did you know of defenestration? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defenestration

On a side note (and totally off topic), the statues of two peeing guys are really cool. You can find them in Prague in front of the Kafka museum. http://www.davidcerny.cz/EN/piss.html

David Cerny is a very cool artist overall. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Cerny

I think compiz has a plugin that does this. Haven't used it though.

Why not just "ivinkirigin, 10 points" or something. I think it's fairly obvious that the first word is a username.

I love http://isitgoingtoraintoday.com/. All the weather info I need.

"The copyright holders seem to think that we still travel the Atlantic in a ocean liners run on coal. So they operate with licences that ignore the fact that people don’t care about countries and borders anymore."

I like to watch TV shows. I also like to discuss episodes with other people. Unfortunately most TV shows I watch are either months behind or don't air at all where I live. So I read about these shows, but by the time I can participate in the conversation the discussion has moved on. That's why I torrent shows. Not because I'm not willing to pay for them (I own most of the DVD sets) but because otherwise I wouldn't get the chance to participate in one of the most gratifying aspects of following these series.

More extreme examples are series like Firefly and Battlestar Galactica. Both never aired here and likely never will. I'm not willing to spend 45 euros on DVDs based on Internet word of mouth alone, but in both cases I got hooked after torrenting a few episodes and payed afterwards.

I don't get Groningen either, but I'm not complaining. I can see my house! The city of Groningen tends to lobby for these things quite a bit though I can't see Google being influenced by these things.

As an aside, the pictures are from September last year as far as I can tell.

Exactly. The dialog is based on the assumption that both options are equally likely to be used. That's simply not true. A user might click no but will almost always click yes. A dialog that almost always receives the same answer should be eliminated.

One thing I've never understood is the confirmation dialogue you get when closing an application. Of course I want to save the document! The only time wouldn't want to save my changes is when I want to revert all the changes I made this session. I already have a perfectly good button for that the, undo button. (at least in a perfect world).

That and lots of Amserdam's inner city predates motorized traffic. It's much, much easier to bike through Amsterdam than to ride a car.
