The Insider has been carrying clickbait to maintain 10 articles/day on slow news days for a long time. 
I've been flaming the worst examples for a while now; but other than the personal satisfaction haven't accomplished anything yet. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Well, I do have Chris' permission to not be 10 items a day, I just haven't had to use it yet.
Amusingly (to me), the two items in question weren't what I considered filler yesterday. This one I put in early in the day finding it amusing. The Simple Programmer one I thought had a good message against impostor syndrome. The items I considered filler were the monthly analysis of the Tiobe numbers, and the Comment Commentary (oh, and the Microsoft/Minecraft one that was incredibly short, and based on a rumour).
Just more proof that one person's interesting subject is another's crap. As long as each person finds at least one item interesting in there each day, I don't see what the problem is. We have a huge community, with a wide range of interests: there is no way I can nail that Venn diagram all the time.

I'll take your word for that. After giving it my first ever double projectile vomit award for suckitude for the first few sentences I closed the tab with extreme prejudice.

Nothing new. When I worked at SAIC in San Diego/UTC in the 90s there were (perhaps) a dozen campers/RVs parked on the street (Campus Point Drive) 24/7. They'd shuffle around on street-cleaning days. A quick look on Goog Learth doesn't show any now.
With a cafe and gym (for showers) on campus and a mall within walking distance, it's definitely feasable, at least for single men (as many developers are).

Very clever chappie indeed!

I am finally going to take the plunge and get a pad computer. What I would really, really like to get as an accessory is a "purse" (here, I define a "purse" as a small bag that I can strap around my shoulders) that would allow me to simply open up the "purse" and start using the pad, but while the pad is still attached to the "purse". This would essentially remove the chance of the pad being dropped or stolen. Every "purse" I have seen @ Amazon seems to be a regular purse in which the pad can fit, but to use the pad, the pad would need to be taken out completely. It just seems that this would be a great way to do such a "purse" so I figure someone has already put this product out. Thanks.

I've not seen anything like that before.
It might be better if you google for "messenger bag".
I like the TUMI[^] brand.
I have been using a TUMI laptop bag for a long while with only simple normal wear and tear.
I also have a barbour[^] bag; it's nice, but probably not what you are looking for.
I'd rather be phishing!

I use a FREITAG[^] messenger bag and I'm very happy with it. They produce usable and durable bags, and I only can recommend you to get one.
The console is a black place

Finding the purse is easy enough, but be prepared to have to spend some time on finding matching shoes.

So I'm dying to go to the loo - but it's occupied. Been occupied for hours - and I can hear the rustle of a newspaper in the stall.
Bastard.
So I shut off the light and ran!
I'm in so much trouble if I get caught - if the guy's muscles are as big as his dumps.
