If her commute is 10 miles by a direct route, but if there is a 14 mile indirect route whose speed limits are lower, she might be able to arrive faster by an indirect route. If she took a direct route using bike lanes of 10 miles it would take her …

Although I am sorry that your friend in Houston experienced this, yet the event reminds me of "The Appointment in Samarra" https://www.k-state.edu/english/baker/english320/Maugham-AS.htm

This is a long article. The main subject doesn't really surface until after the first four sections, but the first four sections are essential to understanding the historical setting of what …

Waterfront properties are often more expensive than those which are inshore. Although floods often damage inshore properties yet I suspect that the houses with the greatest damage are those that are closer along the water. The idea that the average …

Diverging from my own topic: > whole of Croatia was connected over a single 64kbps connection back then Infrastructure in "first world" countries is often so far in advance of some other countries that even the poorest in the "first world" …

Before HTTP, there was Telnet. (There was also Archie, Veronica, and Gopher but they're less likely to reappear.) It seems there is a hardware company that makes Internet Radios called Imperial Dabman. For some reason, these radios can be accessed …

I think there is a bit of the "chicken or egg" in a discussion of this topic. Some markets are created by marketers but other times an entrepreneur sees a situation as providing an opportunity to exploit. There's also (and has been for at least …

Oh, I'm not opposed to monochrome logos. I was only saying that none of the other invite logos (at least that I noticed) were reminiscent of the original Apple colors.

It is possible that this is just for the invite but it does remind me of the logo that was on the Apple ][ before they went monochrome.

This is true in any area of expertise. First Chairs in Symphonies don't get there without a lot of work. Olympic Medal Winners don't get there without hard work. Over 19 centuries ago, an older man told a younger one that if he wanted to be able …

Again, I think that even if rideshare did not exist that this would still occur. Because Airport Security no longer allows non-travellers to visit with travellers until they depart nor to pick them up at the gate. Curbside dropoff and pickup has …

Annie Leibovitz belongs on the list.

If you are ever in the Atlanta metro area, make arrangements to go to Don Lillie's glass blowing company on the west side. If you can arrange a visit to the workshop, it is amazing. When I lived nearby, there were a couple of retail outlets, one in …

Someone once said, Responsibility is when Opportunity and Ability come together. If someone's needs exceed my entire gross worth (let alone net worth) I do not have the ability to do more than contribute a portion. I may be responsible for that …

Brent Simmons has worked for the last four years on getting NetNewsWire 5.0 up and running, but his goal was Zero Bugs. Now the problem with such a goal is that some people will do things that a reasonable developer just doesn't foresee. So Monday …

I'm not sure that many religious people would be able to agree on what would constitute and appropriate memorial if any type of obviously religious symbolism was used. You mentioned an altar, but a lot of religions don't use an altar. At some war …

Simon Boxall who is the Principal Teaching Fellow at the National Oceanography Centre says that it is too early to tell whether the species which are transported by this pumice rock will be beneficial to the Great Barrier Reef or whether the …

Looks like something one might use on a remake of some show like Daktari. In the original they used Landrovers and a Ford Pickup.

I suppose if one is an atheist or if one doubts that God cares because he allows the wicked to manifest the extreme difference between darkness (evil) and light (godliness) that this kind of thing might seem more potent than prayer but for those of …
