I don't really know all that much about Joel but huskies can behave pretty well indoors with supervision as long as those guidelines are met (exercise and training) but if the apartment is small the exercise is going to have to make up for it in time and amount.

I have had huskies that could and would run for hours on end with no sign of slowing (as they should be able to) and currently have a husky akita mix that takes full reign of five acres.

In regards to huskies there are a few important things:

- they need a lot of exercise everyday (like a few hours)

- they need training (not good couch potato dogs)

- they need high and secure fencing (many will try to escape if left alone and to their own devices and they are master escape artists)

Happy Pi Day 16 years ago

I read that just now and just makes me think how often I would have to use pi/2. (I'm in mechanical engineering.)

If you're not passionate about it you're not going to get anything done so you need to "man up" one way or the other (ditch or push). Really think about what you want, if you want this project to get done go at it full spin otherwise leave it and take on an easier or more passionate undertaking.

You probably just gaze through the headlines about it because to be honest Duck Duck Go isn't very eye grabbing, but there are plenty of articles about it and most of the duck duck go blog postings seem to make it to the front page and there are plenty of comments about it.

Apple is really starting to subscribe to the competition is bad for business standpoint and it really is starting to get annoying.

You can see that apple really wants to be the smartphone distributor but they really can only do that two ways: create a cheaper phone or remove the cheaper competing phones from competition

For me I put my support into google I have a droid and like it very much and the iphone on the other hand was not meant for me but this fueding between apple and the tech world makes me not want to support apple.

You could use a password scheme for sites you don't really care much about and stronger separate passwords for important and often used sites.

I do this and it works out well and if you use the important sites enough you will and do remember your strong passwords but for the ones you don't you always can reset your password by email which isn't that inconvenient if you think about how often you are accessing the website that you cannot remember your password.

Matlab and Mathematica seem to do pretty well at installing universally (though 64bit can cause some issues).

I think the real reason is there isn't much benefit for making software for linux when the paying userbase for windows or even mac is so much higher. This is why you really only see educational and/or research based software on linux; hopefully if linux starts to get really big we will see this change.

Personally I think an opt out page should have an are you sure you want to opt out incase the person accidentally unsubscribed. But yes it should be an easy yes or no button.

Do watch it again as the movie is rather different but good nonetheless. But I must say the book is far better and up on my list of favorites.

I'm very confused by the other section and see no explanation anywhere but it takes up 75% of my pie chart :/

Edit: Even if everything is set at zero everyone still raises the earth by 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit.

If this site wants to educate people they need to give out more information but as of now it looks like they are just gathering data and making a silly pie chart and map.

To be honest elpa isn't all that useful right now to get all your emacs plugins and I'm sure if a package manager came out that was integrated into emacs we would see a much larger use of package management in emacs.

Most definitely, I for one don't try many new programs without some sort of screenshot (if you do a screencast also put screenshots up as not everyone can always watch a video or wants to watch a video).

It is more like a well established touch typer switching from qwerty to dvorak, it can happen just takes will to change and a good amount of time.

For most your hunch is dead wrong the family member or small budget websites are the ones that look like MSFrontpage and other such website designs.

Flash websites are usually payed for and in good amounts to and they are done by people who don't really understand usability but do know marketability (for themselves) and how to make things look pretty.

Some things to consider for me:

- Don't put ads where content should be, I hate when I'm scrolling and there is an ad where I should be reading (unless it is displayed at the end of an article)

- Put ads in a designated area, and stick to that single area

- Only display relevant ads if your site is about web design I don't want to see ads about belly fat or ebay

- No flash or animated ads, this is so annoying and probably makes me leave sites the most because it is just distracting from both your content and my train of thought

- Don't display too many ads, this is also a major problem and just makes me assume that there is no real content and you just want to make money (news sites seem to do this a lot)
