Did you make sure to feign forgetfulness and have them read it back to you?

Terrorists have weapons other than planes, you know.

It says that my screen size is 1280 x 720, but it's actually 1920 x 1080.

I remember using those when I was just a kid! I'm pretty sure that there was some sort of search term or operator that I used to find them through Google.

I used to have a huge list bookmarked, and they weren't just on famous landmarks. It was actually kind of creepy because some were located in offices, small businesses,etc.

One time a friend and I constantly rotated one of the office cameras until a guy got up from his desk and covered the lens with a piece of paper. I'm guessing that the owners didn't realize that they were accessible by anyone with an Internet connection...

Definitely.

In my experience, it doesn't induce sleep, it just helps alleviate the negative consequences of standard monitor temperatures (such as making it difficult to fall asleep after using the computer late at night).

Did you ever try turning f.lux off late at night?

Everyone that I've spoken to has mentioned that they immediately found themselves squinting or needing to turn down the brightness of their monitor.

Oh yes, for us Canadians it's really as simple as "just go[ing] outside".

Agreed!

I find this sort of thing especially helpful when trying new medications/treatments. It's nice to have a chart that I can look over to help give me a better idea about what's going on with my body. "Oh, ever since I started this new medication, I get headaches when I don't drink at least 4L of water."

There's no way that I'd be able to keep track of my day-to-day symptoms without writing them down; the days often blur together.

Oh, and doctors love it, too.

"Legos" always sounded weird to me. Interestingly enough, LEGO used to have this on their site:

“The word LEGO is a brand name, and is very special to all of us in the LEGO Group Companies. We would sincerely like your help in keeping it special. Please always refer to our products as “LEGO bricks or toys” and not “LEGOS.” By doing so, you will be helping to protect and preserve a brand of which we are very proud, and that stands for quality the world over. Thank you!”

America has been imperialist since the 1800s.

Making them any more blatant isn't going to do much good, seeing as those who block ads won't be able to see them.

Joe Public couldn't care less about where the image originated after he's seen it. By that point the damage has already been done.

How did you test this?

What laws have they broken?

Amazingly, the questions seem to be even dumber than the ones found on YA:

- why is computer an idiot machine

- i casted a love spell on my ex,should i tell her now that she is back

- What is the colour of the black box which is using in planes ?

I think Alfred's Workflows would fit in here.

I hope that the rhetoric employed in your comment was deliberate and meant to be ironic...

Too bad they don't feel the same way about sharks...

He didn't speculate on anything; he said he wouldn't be surprised if he was put on a list. And given all of the information that has come out over the past few years, would you be surprised that such a list were in place?

I had the same reaction (I'm from Canada).

There's a difference (in the US at least).

A concise summary:

"Ignorance is bliss."

If the only ones who don't know how to change it are the ones who don't care, what does it matter?

Non-paywall version:

The structure of the modern school system (the one employed in the western world, at least) dates back to the Industrial Revolution. It's hardly "a reflection of the needs of a modern knowledge economy".

The top speed is also 420mph. How clever.

Although you'll have some competition:

If that's the case, did life spontaneously come to exist on their lump of rock?

Don't even know where to start when it comes to those comments...

"Bill and Hillary killed 23 people in Arkansas. I'm sure there's a Bengazzi link to this, or maybe Whitewater. You never know, you know? I've always thought Bill Clinton had something to do with that Jon Benet deal"

Dumb is defined as "lacking intelligence or good judgment".

Sounds pretty dumb to me.
