Snow White trailer is absolutely jaw dropping. Awesomely frightful, Incredible music, and a really dark, scary interpretation of the fairy tale. by achillein Frisson

[–]achille[S] 1 point2 points ago

The trailer is so awesome I'm sure the movie will not do it justice, and will suck -- as they usually end up.

Yahoo's new 500 email / 100 recipient SMTP limit by s3rvantin sysadmin

[–]achille 1 point2 points ago

I'm sorry, why is your Company using Yahoo to send emails? Does yahoo have something like Google Apps which allows you to send emails from your own subdomain?

Life in Georgia is pretty good. by GG1982in Atlanta

You're right, I missed the humor. Sorry.

Life in Georgia is pretty good. by GG1982in Atlanta

[–]achille 3 points4 points ago*

You grew up in GA, thus obviously, changing to any other city will be hard because it's inherently cognitively taxing.

One day your kids will ask you: Dad, why do you live in GA?

And you will answer with: Because of ChickFilA son, and I hate having to stir sugar in my tea myself.

Would you really be surprised by hearing people in Kentucky say THEY FUCKING LOVE living in Kentucky? What about hearing Russians say they love Russia? And New Orlenians, living in a shithole neighborhoods saying they love it? They don't know any better. You don't know any better. That's all they know. This is all you know. All change is foreign.

All "change" is taxing. It's a well known cognitive bias. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Status_quo_bias

I travel a lot and live out of hotels 24/7. But I still come to Atlanta every other weekend because

  1. My girlfriend lives there.

  2. I went to Tech and I know the city

  3. Hotels are cheap.

  4. Big airport with direct flights worldwide.

Other than that there are few advantages to Atlanta over any other city. Try to explore some more, don't succumb to "oh this is different" biases.

Would I still fly to ATL if my girlfriend lived elsewhere? Fuck NO.

Wake the up, man.

P.S: Name me a single metropolitan city that does not have TV, Internet & Shopping.

Justifying an iPad purchase by cosworth99in apple

Don't. The iPad is inherently device meant for consuming, not producing. By getting the iPad you'll spend more time consuming and less time producing.

I'm also looking for a watch, but would like: skeletonized look (open heart), calendar, dress style silver/steel, with a white dial. Is it possible to do under $900 ?

Go to hell, Larry! by roboteasein funny

Here is a heat map of the first comment: http://i.imgur.com/65cqB.png

Home key letter analysis suggests this is faked. The author simply put his hands on the home row of a QWERTY keyboard, and typed at random.

This is inconsistent with a pet walking over a keyboard, one would expect a more even distribution among all the rows.

Prof wants submissions in word, *blech* by EekaMousin vim

[–]achille 21 points22 points ago

I personally use VIM & Word extensively. VIM for coding & Word for documentation. I must say Word's reviewing facilities are very good (The best).

If your can't stand word, then write everything in VIM, copy paste to Word. There's even a fancy VIM Emulator for word (google for ViEmu Word).

TL;DR: Stop wasting your time on silly arguments, focus on school.

I was unexpectedly upgraded to first class on my flight yesterday. Best part? Complimentary wine and cheese. by v4n3554in pics

Wait... I gave up my 1st class Delta class to a total stranger on Tuesday. Were you flying ATL-ORD by any chance?

I got to work as a gate agent for half a day, does that count? [Edit] This was a special Delta program called "walk a mile in our shoes" to let (really) frequent flyers a chance to work on the other side.
