Out of the Box
I can’t see buying Windows until it comes with an ssh client.
I want to punch the person that created this dialog box.
Genocide, Texas, Worms
Errol Morris discusses Josh Oppenheimer’s documentary The Act of Killing about a genocide you probably haven’t heard of executive produced by Morris and Werner Herzog.
Texas is really trying to move back in time. Keep Austin medieval might be their new mantra.
Fuckin’ worms how do they work? A worm that not only regrows a severed head but also retains its memories.
Google Broke My Search History
I use Google to search often and since the advent of tabbed browsing I usually open the first ten results in background tabs. I can’t imagine I’m the only person who searches this way.
Often times when working through my problem I realize that I’d like to return to one of the tabs that I dismissed earlier. I would do so by finding it in my history by looking for the page title. Unfortunately Google has broken the page title in your history and now I just see a bunch of redirects.
This should be a list of page titles but is instead a list of redirects.
Fortunately Bing doesn’t exhibit this strange behavior and may soon be my search engine of choice.
Bing gets it right.
Update: My former co-worker pointed out that the Safari plugin Detox will restore things to normal.
A Few Words on Doug Engelbart
Many of us barely remember a time before computers were pervasive members of our culture, capable of sharing information between them. Doug Engelbart passed away recently and was a true visionary of where computing could head. Eulogies abound across the Web right now, but one in particular struck me as an insightful description of what it means to be a visionary of his caliber. Who’s thinking and dreaming like this today? Are our current startups cutting it? Are we encouraging the next generation to innovate and revolutionize technology and society?
Experts, Comments and SOCTUS
This is why experts make the big bucks.
You shouldn’t read YouTube comments.
Isn’t this a text book example of why one should recuse oneself from a case?
Chips, cards and whiskey are all one needs to play a proper game of poker.
