Oh, come on. It takes less code to reformat a phone number than to yell at your customer for not formatting it the way you want it.

It’s funny how the last parking spaces to be filled are always the ones under the light poles. I only took one ONCE & had to wash my car the next day. As near as I could tell, every bird in Norwalk had perched on that light during the course of the day.
I’m impressed. TurboTax has an Android app that let’s you calculate & file just by taking a photo of your W2 with your phone.

Simple filings only, of course, but still…very cool!

Ugh. So many idiots commenting on that Flickr story who DIDN’T READ IT. The guy HAD backups of his photos, but NOT THE ACCOUNT STRUCTURE. He could have re-uploaded all 4000 photos…but all the old links would be broken, all the tags would be missing, titles, descriptions, etc. All that stuff required either a backup *at* Flickr or a Flickr-provided method of retrieving the structure.
Cool idea, but I’m not sure how practical it is without (ironically, I know) a machine-readable standard. humanstxt.org

I’m really annoyed when politicians oppose (or approve) policy based solely on *who* proposed it, not the idea itself.

Sadly, that means that most political news makes me really annoyed.
I always wonder about politicians who claim to be opposed to government.

Wait, MICROSOFT is complaining that someone’s names are too generic?

As it happens, I agree that “App Store” shouldn’t be trademarked, but it’s funny that #Microsoft is the one complaining.

App store for a computer? Great! As long as it never becomes the ONLY way to install software, like on the iPhone & iPad. #Apple

The app store model has been available in major Linux distributions for years, but you can always add third-party software.
GUIs for Linux’s APT & Yum are basically app stores for free software. Linspire had an actual app store back in 2002 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CNR_(software)
Funny how many “problems” with Android vs. iPhone were also “advantages” for Windows over Mac. Diverse hardware, multiple app sources, etc.

For future reference: Jerry’s Dogs puts a bucket of peanuts at each table. It would’ve been nice to know this BEFORE I ordered lunch. I’m glad I’m not so allergic that just being in the room would send me to the ER. Eating outside, but to be safe I’m not coming back.
