One thing I learned, whether accurate or not, from the original SimCity is road maintenance is expensive. I almost invariably ended up peaking city size as the roads entered a constant state of disrepair.

This page has a link to a Python script to dump the contents of the list file:

I used to get annoyed by car stereos randomizing CD tracks rather than shuffling. My Honda did once play the same song three times in a row.

Aside: The pages are also a good browser stress test with the large number of iframes.

How is this different from stunnel?

We do this. For bigger apps, we usually have a db layer, so local config file -> db config -> default in code.

Outline could be legitimately useful, such as for subtitles.

Those have a withdrawn status.

Do any particles not have a temperature?

Nature paper here: http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v520/n7549/full/nature1...

Paper title uses "three-atom-thick" instead of "three atom-thick" (hyphen difference).

I had a bit of shock when I recently heard my grandmother singing a song probably from her childhood and realized that much of what I listen to, she would probably not even consider music. I be curious to see a timeline of music "ages" (a la Baroque -> Classical -> Romantic), but for more styles than simply classical music.

Empirically, there seems to be a correlation between lawn care company usage and stations that carry 100% gasoline where I live. I am lucky to be about 7 km from a station that has it (suburban/semi-rural border area). Cost is roughly 10% more than E10 (at this one particular station).

I use VMs almost exclusively for "first installs" of programs. Especially if the program cannot be extracted (zip format) from the installer. A large portion of programs I use work just fine from a simple "extract" install.

Some programs are becoming "aware" of VMs, though. I ran into that trying to "screen" a coupon printer. Ended up tossing that in the bit bucket.

The French phrase is "n'est-ce pas?".

Or that a bug literally got into the machine. It seems more analogous to edge conditions that weren't covered, which could overlap with actual defects. For example, input ranges that were "promised" to never be in a data set, but ended up happening anyway.

This also puts Australia on the blacklist for hosting a VPN service, if they were not already, I assume.

The article mentions using this for your master password. Quote: "For logging in to websites and other servers, use a password database. [...] Then lock up all your passwords behind a master passphrase that you generate with Diceware."

These kinds of passwords remind me of gfycat URLs.

Web-based email providers that switch to Dropbox-like services when attachments are too large for email?

Do you mean non-RT apps? Microsoft has two app stores already, one for phone and one for tablet/desktop.

If it is a service I am using for personal use, it does not put me off. IME, in the business setting, for whatever reason, some people seem to have an aversion to seeing numbers related to pricing in a foreign (to them) format, though.

Localize thousands-separator, too, if feasible.

At first glance, the chocolate bar in the title image seems out of place. Pseudo-edit: Upon further reading, it looks like it is part of demonstrating the dexterity of the robotic limb.

P.S. Obligatory Macross Plus reference.

I ran across this when writing extension methods for HttpClient (.NET). HttpWebRequest did not like content-body being set for GET requests and threw this exception: System.Net.ProtocolViolationException: Cannot send a content-body with this verb-type.
