@daviesgeek It's a byproduct of working from home (and a slow week.) When I'm out and about I'm not here. If I'm sitting at my desk, I manage to convince myself that AD is work related.
One of my answers is being bird-dogged. I posted. He posted a longer—but no more accurate—answer. (Close enough that it may have been a near-simutaneous effort). So I posted a screen shot. He came back with two screenshots. I took the only course of action I could, I gave him an upvote effort. :)
I think the answer is for me to head to the Hack Factory. Crack open a malty beverage. Fire up the grill (because there's a fresh bottle of Matouk's in my go-bag waiting to be poured onto something). And start on my project for this evening—some simple sewing in some heavy nylon "climbing" tubing.
We're in the process of getting our IP lab up and running—we're going to teach a course in building network infrastructure and then teach another on hacking into it.
@AndrewLarsson DC 612, the local DefCon chapter meets in our space for about half their meetings. And we have a bunch of people coding for Arduino projects. Not a ton of pure hacking on software, but it happens.
Mostly these days we sit around and watch metal being made into chips by our new (to us) Bridgeport mill. It's become a spectator sport.
Thanks for posting this, it definitely warrants a discussion.

At least we're on the radar. Great response from @Lauren.
So, going back a topic. No, it does not matter who declined your flag. I understand and agree that you'd like a reason why. But ask for that. Calling out an individual leads to a witch hunt.
I am really excited at how well worded and thought through this contest is. I appreciate the explanation about how the raffle will work and what might happen if more people qualify than prizes are available. I personally dislike open ended raffles where you don't know how long or how many items a...
I have a number of Flurry icons on my desktop linked to applications I use frequently. I envision an almost identical looking icon, but instead of an icon and filename, it displays the album art and track name of the currently playing song using Bowtie.
Is there such a theme in existence? If not...
Add the http://repo.insanelyi.com/ repository in Cydia > Manage > Sources > Edit > Add. Then install the MobileTerminal (NEW) and the network-cmds packages from that repository. Then you can go into the terminal app you just got and run ipfw. This will let you write to your firewall tables. If yo...
Personally, they give me grief, but it's usually because I'm doing something Apple didn't want me to do.
I had 1/1 shares yesterday, but now I have 0/1 shares. Does anyone know what could cause this? All I did was post a link to a question on Facebook and Twitter.
And I guess 5 of my friends/followers clicked on it, but now I have no shares...
@AndrewLarsson Hey Andrew, there's this guy I heard about who had his share quota for Use Different set, but then it went back down to zero. Weird, huh?
In chat today, Timothy mentioned that the tags in oneboxes look a lot like the buttons in Windows XP:
Compare to Windows XP button:
Can we make the oneboxes and the tags on the main site look like the buttons from Lion? Like this:
I personally think that this will add more personality and O...
@daviesgeek Oh, I dunno. Just it's not as explicit as "1337"... like finding "hidden inappropriate images" in Disney movies that don't even really exist
@TimothyMuellerHarder Once a mission is completed, it won't be revoked automatically if the criteria aren't met anymore. We can revoke them manually, but we'll only do that if the mission was achieved only because of serial upvoting or similar issues, but not just because some downvote got you below the threshold again. Chances are that another upvote is going to come in anyway :)

"You are so very great. Thank you so much for your help on this"
@stuffe I hate it when that happens. Or when you tell them that something doesn't exist (and you even give them an alternative), but they don't mark you as the right answer.
Nah, leave it, brand new user, I suspect he won't be back, all his rep comes from that question more or less, an example of someone who has a specific one time need, came, got his answer (within minutes) and rode into the sunset
I don't mind, the Rep is a bonus, a little fun and a good way to judge nothing but spare time spent. The gratification is in knowing you helped, and in this case his comments were far more pleasing than 15 rep ever will be
Take a look at this Wiki question, and see if any of the answers meet your needs.
In particular, this one looks interesting:
Zooom/2 - "Magnetism. If you like snapping windows the the edges of the screen or other windows (as in many X window managers), you will love this."
@AndrewLarsson Thanks; @stuffe's suggestion of Zooom/2 (and a preexisting wiki I hadn't noticed my question was pretty much duplicating) will probably do the trick, but other answers would be welcome. :)
No, you cannot, and for a number of reasons. Most (when I say most, I mean all but a few) JailBreak tweaks modify files in / or /System. This is a separate partition and cannot be accessed unless you're Apple or you're JailBroken. Another thing is that tweaks are .deb files, and you'll need a Deb...
> The retina display was introduced with the iPhone 4 in 2010. During the keynote, Steve Jobs said: > At a distance of 10" to the human eye (or retina), a pixel density of 300PPI is the maximum that an eye can distinguish. > Based on this statement, a retina display is a display that has a pixel density more that 330PPI.
300, or 330? Or 326? I'll approve it if you make which is correct consistent
Does anyone know a general way to solve the problem of attaching a shortcut key to dynamic menu items? My solution here works when the application in question is scriptable (actually, that made it quite easy), but the OP's general case problem is quite annoying.

do you mind updating your answer on the Twitter question? to something like this: It's using the global Twitter account which is set up in the Settings app.
To sign out of that account, do the following:
1. Go to **Settings** 2. Choose **Twitter** 3. Tap your account name 4. Choose **Delete Account**.
This doesn't delete your Twitter account, it just logs you out from that account on your device.
Just so the answer seems more confident. Since it is the right answer, afterall
The only way to sign out of an account is to actually delete it, according to the UI. This is tied into the Twitter integration that was part of iOS 5.
To sign out of the account, you need to:
Go to Settings
Choose Twitter
Tap on the account you want to sign out of.
