Nope! Why are you? Do you know something that the scientists and doctors and experimentalists who calculated these safety margins -- which the soil comes in well under -- do not?...

Politburo, Reid: for specific screenshots, see here and here for specific examples of what Comcast's compression does to the signal. It's pretty miserable....

Drew, the link should now be fixed. Sorry about that....

Ooh -- also, there's an error in the post. The custom firmware is free; that $10-50 estimate is the cost of the router. I'll get that fixed....

Thanks for the, uh, supportive comments, everyone. Maybe I can explain a little better: first, if you wanted to recreate this yourself it would only cost you about $60 or $70. I spent about $15 on i...

TCM: The link should now be fixed. Sorry about that....

I'm aware of that style rule, but it's ridiculous enough that I intentionally eschewed it....

MS: The one thing you left out of your explanation of Texas's primary system is how the number of delegates is allocated to each district. My understanding is that this is based on how many votes wer...

Er, yes. Sorry about that -- sleepy fingers (and brain)....

will this whole meter thing make it so that i will never be able to get a cab, kinda like in philly (meters) To echo what Esmerelda said: it's much, MUCH easier to get a cab in Philadelphia. I wind ...

Sorry about the comment weirdness, folks -- it's being worked on and will hopefully be resolved soon. As for why we're promoting RSS: the people in New York look at RSS subscription rates and factor ...

I can't stand idly by and allow Yuengling to be impugned. It's true that sometimes it can be pretty awful. But such is the fate of sweet brown beers that're packaged in unwisely-colored glass or ser...

Thanks, hungeegirl....

Hmm. The WTOP story certainly makes it sound like it's just a matter of renovation and rebranding. Got a link indicating that they're moving? I'll update the post if necessary....

Wait a year, head to Arlington and hope that my ancient neighbors didn't die long ago. But I should warn you: the tin yo-yos in question really, really sucked. I guess that Jesus' infinite love was s...

Guest 23: most of the posters I've seen are for specific marches that happened months or years ago. If they were general statements of opposition to the war you might have a point. But most of ANSWER...

It needs to redraw the lines whenever you change zoom levels. If something goes wrong with the Javascript in your browser, that process might be stopped. This could be a problem with my code, or wit...
