I once had a cube neighbor with her phone ringer volume set ALL THE WAY UP. Once when I worked on a weekend I walked over and turned it down three notches. She never noticed.

Huntsman or wolf spider. I dont like killing anything outright, but she exceeds my spider size limitation (meaning, she wigs me out). I took a WAY too small tupperware container (2"x2"2") and put it over her, slid a piece of paper over the opening and carried her outside. PATS SELF ON BACK!

Alright, that sucker is just large. I can deal with all small spiders, but being startled by something that big inside the house would be problematic. I think I'd grab the Raid, so good job actually catching it.

Shannon, you're a better woman than myself. I always took a shoe to wolf and hobo spiders. They're beyond my tolerance threshold.

I have to compliment you on your photographs. It was like a torturous horror scene. Also, I'm screaming my head off.

No. Never. That's when I'll up my every 3 month pest control service to DAILY. AND YOU DID THAT BEFORE COFFEE! Would you like the 6ft high trophy or the 8fter? (I find the smaller one displays better.)

Matt believes that it's a violin spider and they are very poisonous. They eat through flesh.

Lol, I wouldnt have haVe handled it as well if I hadnt done so before. The first one to get in the house was twice the size. It took MAN and me nearly an hour to decide hoe to get it out of the house. That time I used a five gallon bucket and a pizza screen LOL

Flip-flop nothing, Joe. That calls for a dang boot!

Note to anyone who looks at that chart Mary B posted: please never get your Funnel Web Grass Spider mixed up with an Australian Funnel Web spider. US Funnel Web = not very venemous. Australian Funnel Web = deadly! ALSO: why the frack did they have to make the huntsman wiggle??!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 GAH!

sono tentatissimo di presentarmi in riunione con questa, ma mi manca il pennino

Io aspettavo a fare il passaggio iPad->TabletAndroid proprio per questo. Su iOS esiste NoteShelf, app spettacolare, che da un anno ha sostituito i fogli di carta in ufficio. Adesso potrei fare il salto, magari con un tablet da 7" :-)
- darth (il_fu_darthpelo)
@darth ne ho ordinata una su ebay, che pare abbia un lato della punta abbastanza sottile (quelle che ho visto in giro sono troppo tondeggianti), vedremo. Non sapevo di questa bamboo, interessante, chissà se si trova in negozio.
- ganassa
Be è la meglio :-D Ne ho provate tante con i miei colleghi e ti posso dire che lo spendere poco rende la scrittura peggiore. Io ora ho una Pogo e non c'è nessuna differenza con la scrittura su carta :-) Ovviamente opinione del tutto personale :-)
- darth (il_fu_darthpelo)
vabeh intanto proverò quella di ebay da 4 euro spedita ;)
- ganassa
Sì, io comprata in un negozio qui a Milano a meno. Cmq anche io sono partito con pennino cinese da 8€ :-D (tra l'altro se cerchi su ebay, c'è la AluPen tarocca cinese)
- darth (il_fu_darthpelo)
mi spiegate perché se passo da market non la trovo?
- gerri
@gerry: il market filtra le app per paese/provider/versione OS/modello hardware , ti manca uno di questi elementi. Sospetto che vada solo sui tablet. O solo su Honeycomb.
- ganassa
ho un tablet samsung, adesso ci accedo via browser e non con l'app del market e mi dice in effetti che non è compatibile (e sì temo che il primo samsung 7 pollici non sia Honeycomb)
- gerri
Eh sì, allora è HB-only. Potresti provare ad usare Market Enabler per "hackare" il Market e vedere se funziona lo stesso.

immaginate a scuola: blocchi note condivisi, sui quali si potrà giocare a tris senza muoversi dal banco

@ganassa ecco questa è una grande idea..ma evernote non permette di condividere anche i disegni nelle note? o qui addirittura è in Real Time?
- Davide TheSgrash
@Davide no, inventavo di sana pianta, in realtà quest'app è locale. Evernote non so, mi è un po' antipatico e non l'ho usato molto.

ok mi è arrivato il pennino di ebay. Fa pena, l'immagine non corrisponde alla realtà (punta tonda e non a taglio) la gomma rende ardui i movimenti, la precisione è una chimera. 4€ buttati

It wouldn't have been so bad, but I'm in my office taking calls and it was just in here acting a damn fool. Flying all around me and banging against my light fixture. Very unladybuglike

Pretty sure the ladybug is fine, actually. All this and I didn't actually kill it. It was crawling under the keys on my keyboard shortly after, then disappeared.

I just hope you never mistake a baby in a ladybug costume for a real ladybug.

It's not actually a curve, but the inclination is not the same on the red and the yellow triangles, Slippy. You're right the components are the same, though.
- Eivind
So the grid is a lie? Because the yellows both measure (5x2)/2 and the reds are both (8x3)/2 area.
- Le Slip Anglais
Yes, slope of yellow is 2/5, but red is 3/8 (.400 vs .375).
- ʎəlɹoɯ uəʞ
Use the Yellow Triangle to measure the red one. They are not similar. Beautiful Trick. I will use it during my lessons
- Isola Virtuale
I still don't get it. The components occupy the same space, however you arrange them.
- Le Slip Anglais
I guess that whole "99 IQ" thing must have been as accurate as I thought it was.
- Le Slip Anglais
Not really. However you explain it, I can't see it. I just feel really thick.
- Le Slip Anglais
It works better on paper to see the difference. You can hold it at an extreme angle and see that the hypotenuses are not the same. But you can see that they are different by seeing how the hypotenuse hits the grid differently in each (in the bottom triangle, the yellow, green and blue meet up right on a grid point or very close to it - the same point in the upper (5 from the left and 2 from the bottom) is below the grid point.

Did you get a notebook and try to draw it, Slippy?
- Eivind
Nah, I got a beer and tried to forget it :-)

Beer-goggles may help in this case. :)

They help me to forget that I can't figure this darned thing ou....oh....wait......THE HYPOTENUSE ISN'T STRAIGHT! I GET IT! Why didn't someone say this before? :-)

Even if the death penalty were morally legitimate (and I think it isn’t), and even if we could be justifiably confident that every one of those 234 executed prisoners was actually guilty of the crimes for which they were sentenced (and I think we can’t), it would still be grotesque to react to those executions with cheers and applause, as the... - http://aaeblog.com/2011...
The speed of sound is roughly one mile every five seconds. Why, then, during a thunderstorm, was I taught to count seconds between the lightning and the thunder to determine how many miles away the storm was? - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
(Don't say it's the difference between the speed of light and the speed of sound, because the speed of light is basically instantaneous for storm distances.)

We were only taught to divide by three ;)
- Eivind
Divide by five is the way I learned it too. One mile every five seconds. Simple.
- Otto
Stephen, your version is less scary, as the storm seems further away (not that you have any conception of a 'mile' as a small child, but still...)
- Ken Gidley
IIRC, speed of sound isn't actually a constant. it can vary slightly.
- Hieronymous Boosh
Joe, I think it is a constant, but the density of the medium of travel can influence the speed. And atmospheric conditions aren't constant. IIRC.
- Gimminy
Surely the speed of sound is entirely dependent on the medium through which it travels, and thus not a constant? The speed of sound in a vacuum, for example, is approximately zero, whereas the speed of sound through salt water is over 1500metres/sec
- Le Slip Anglais
If you don't believe in metres, vacuum and salt water speeds are similar.
- Neal Krummell
Speed of sound in air at sea level in dry air at 68F is 1126 f/s. 5280 f/m. 4.69 seconds for sound to travel 1 mile. So dividing by 5 is a close enough approximation.
- Jeff P. Henderson
Yeah, there's actually a lot of detail about the speed of sound in various mediums if you click through to the wiki article. :)
- Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Neal, if you don't believe in metres, you can always multiply by 3.28. And don't tell me you don't believe in feet. You only have to look at the ends of your legs for evidence of their existence ;-)

non ho capito bene quale è il problema, ma forse ti può tornare utile una spiegazione generale sui vcs distribuiti (come git): http://betterexplained.com/article... .

molto dipende dal metodo, il terminale o come la chiamate voi "riga di comando". Capisco di essere un newbie e, giuro, approccio il tutto con la massima umiltà. Può essere che proprio non faccia per me ma di solito quando mi fisso su una cosa alla fine ci arrivo, a pezzi e bocconi ma ci arrivo. In questo caso è come se mi mancasse una parte e non capisco da dove iniziare; comunque, il link che mi hai girato lo studierò di sicuro, se hai altro materiale per novellini gira pure :)
