I'm surprised you didn't mention September 1993, the neverending September. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September This isn't a big date technologically speaking, but as far as the social history of the internet…
This seems like a great idea to me, as it could get you a job, and make your service much faster, in that you could build your notification system into the class scheduling system, which would mean you wouldn't need to…
In my humble opinion, "very cool" is a huge understatement. Very relevant to my interests.
I, too, was surprised there weren't more. I use this; I like it quite a lot. The search feels quite superior to Thunderbird's native search.
I've heard good things about coffee shops, but I haven't tried them yet. According to a recent article on YC, this is a "third place." (The article was about MMOs.) Pubs and bars are also "third places." Essentially,…
It has a cleaner interface, but I have to click a button every time I find a login that doesn't work to get a new suggestion. On bugmenot, I don't have to wait for code. On the other hand, this might somehow protect the…
Seems kind of embarrassing, though, as far as bugs go...
Didn't chemistry.com start as a referral engine test by a PhD? (This may be heresy.)
Very handy to know! Thank you.
"A more sustainable fashion" relative to what? Carbohydrates, I'm guessing?
Something important to note is that melatonin is not going to force you to sleep. You're not going to fall asleep staring at a computer screen if you take a dose of melatonin. It will make you sufficiently tired to…
For sufficiently high values of drowsiness, the difference can become negligible.
A lot of people have left a comment complaining that they keep their money in a bank. This seems to be missing the point - do you also keep your fine china in a bank? How about that jewelry you like to wear on Friday…
If you hand over a wallet with a reasonable amount of cash in it that appears to be a used wallet, why are they going to decide it's a fake? How many people really carry one?
Fake financial accounts are pretty common among corporate companies for detecting database breaches as a sort of last line of defense (or awareness, anyway), aren't they?
Do you have a better recommendation?
Definitely the most amusing journalism piece I've read lately. It also didn't smack of that whole "I don't know what I'm talking about" thing that plagues modern journalism.
"The safe party drug"? I haven't read anything about modafinil being used as a "party drug" in the sense that cocaine or mdma might be used. This seems like a very poorly written article... and there were no links to…
On the other hand, there are plenty of places that do ship their garbage ridiculous distances. I have no citations, but I think you could find examples with Google. I seem to recall a few instances involving France and…
I was under the vague impression that a little bit of sodium was necessary for keeping the proper h2o equilibrium in the bloodstream. I don't go out of my way to ingest sodium (I probably get plenty in my diet) and I…
I have discovered the same thing - giving my brain time in modes other than problem-solving, like wait-for-kettle mode, seems to augment my problem-solving mode endurance.
We'll throw this one in the "non-binary response" category then.
Well, depends where you live... I spent a summer in Santa Clara in a really crappy apartment and the water always developed this weird white film (or was it a precipitate? I forget) if you let it sit. I considered it…
