DR. BRONNER'S MAGIC SOAPBOX
I buy 4 gallons of the stuff every year or so, I go with unscented to avoid the tingle. The only thing it's not good for is the dishwasher, but I use it for everything else.
Anyone into document management? (Geek Talk Post)
All the cool programmer kids are using one of these. They are both very popular (lots of support/help available), and very well featured. There are a few advantages to git for folks who are publishing code, but if that is not what you are doing you will not see the difference. They are both free (as in speech and beer), and require no server backend.
Since you are on an MS OS you are probably better off with mercurial, since git has not generally been MS friendly.
These systems allow you to control the contents of folders, or groups of folders, as one unit, commit the current state, add/rename/remove files or folders, and sync them with any number of other copies. Every copy has an entire revision history, so you can grab any version from any copy. Very useful.
I personally use a two teared approach:
1) Everything I edit on my machine is automatically saved by RCS, so whenever I save a file from my editor it commits, I rarely use these versions, but it has saved my ass on occasion when I did something stupid on changes I had not committed to a repository.
2) I manage projects (code/text/latex/tax returns), with mercurial, and then sync them with my server to keep backups, or to publish code/sites.
Google Navigation = Death of GPS Makers
Fans Support Comedian Jimmy Carr Over Troop Joke
...Jimmy Carr apologized for offending people
In all fairness, it was a non-apology apology. Since most reasonably people will agree that no apology is better than a passive-aggressive fake apology, I submit that he did better than not apologizing, by "apologizing".
Rachel Maddow Goes After Liz Cheney
It is my understanding that the bodies of fallen soldiers ALL come back through Dover AFB. Not going to Dover means not even once bothering to receive the dead, of a war he himself started.
Rachel Maddow Goes After Liz Cheney
Maybe I'm showing my ignorance... But what the hell is "American Exceptionalism"?
The assertion that the US is morally/legally justified in applying standards of behavior to other countries which it does not uphold itself.
Example: Iran CAN'T be allowed to have nuclear weapons (but, implicitly it's okay if we do).
French Court Finds Church of Scientology Guilty of Fraud
One actually does things for the community, and society while the other one strong arms people/groups/etc into going away.
Since when was this about food not bombs vs the catholic church?
Al Franken shows us how it's done.
Rapes in Iraq are not crimes in the US, so, you can't follow that chain of responsibility. As far as I'm aware Iraq provided full criminal immunity to contractors at the time, so it wasn't even a crime in Iraq.
