We really ought to be calling those 'illegal military operations'

I've been hearing that the "changed handle" thing isn't valid, because when an account handle is changed you can still see the original on the user's profile (and that wasn't the case for the littlestjeff account). With all the misinformation flying around, I have no idea about the accuracy of this though.

I suppose the followup question is, why keep a Windows partition if your games play better on Linux anyways?

I wasn't suggesting all automatic litter boxes are dangerous, only that some are. If someone is shopping for one, it's important to be aware that not everything on the market is safe.

It's not an "if" detector, it's a "how much" detector. It looks like it's using the LED chamber to light the film in a consistent way, and then the phone camera measures the color change to quantify how much radiation it was exposed to.

Just... really research hard before you buy one. I've seen multiple stories of cats being injured or killed when safety features on a litter robot failed (or didn't exist in the first place)

Right, what I was suggesting was that the fact that it makes sense both ways might have been the reason the inventor settled on that name, as opposed to 'cabin logs' or something else.

I'm curious whether that was intentional. The wiki article doesn't give any background on the choice of name, so I'd say it's entirely possible that the name is a play on Lincoln/linkin'.

It's also super cool that they were invented by one of Frank Lloyd Wright's sons! One biographer claimed that Frank's middle name at birth was actually Lincoln and his mother changed it, so there's a possibility of that being an inspiration for the name as well.

Great post, thanks!
