That description reminds me a bit of Habitat for Humanity - I didn't know much about the organization before reading that page a minute ago, but have shopped at the thrift store and knew they use volunteers to build houses for lower income people.

I will never buy a phone directly through a carrier instead of the OEM. They are offering me some nice discounts right now, but I have no interest in a phone where I can't unlock the bootloader. (Or the carrier lock!)

I believe the reason that the wick degrades at 'just the right rate' is that the flame actually keeps oxygen from reaching the wick (so it can't itself burn) until the level of wax goes down enough that the top of the wick pokes out of the now lower flame.

Make sure it's not muted. The audio is the vehicle for this journey.

That, I would actually approve of. I hate ambiguous I and l.

I'm really beginning to think I should quit that. Even voting isn't secret here.

I bought an Ouya. But that's not the worst. At least I actually received it.

I preordered (what would now be called crowdfunded) a Pandora handheld. Unfortunately I ordered it from the UK shop.
Never got it or a refund.

As another comment said, the wave behavior when not measured is hard to explain if one thinks of photons as little particles that classically would need to go through one slit or the other. It seems each one goes through both slits and self-interferes.

And when measured, sure enough they act like little particles that need to go through one slit or the other.

I don't see a published date, but the newest reference listed appears to be 2004.

Seems to me like in the 20+ years since, DHTs were fixed to be more useful. (The one it describes sounds like Freenet instead of say tracker-free BitTorrent.)

How can the list be that short? Hasn't this been a thing that's even recognized in pop culture since the 1980s?

Yes.

I still remember exactly how the announcer enunced "You're Going The Wrong Way!"

I haven't read the book, but yeah that really broke immersion for me in the movie.
