I use what reddit uses, works well http://code.reddit.com/browser/r2/r2/lib/db/sorts.py s = score(ups, downs) order = log(max(abs(s), 1), 10) sign = 1 if s > 0 else -1 if s < 0 else 0 seconds =…
How about we send a "surge" of 30,000 aid workers? Or does that only work if we are declaring war on people?
That 1st hour and middle hour or two are perfectly safe. Apparently only the last hour is unsafe on a plane. Seriously, stop flying people. They have you because you give yourself to them. Just work online, etc. drive…
Just use 8-bit transparency in your PNGs and it will work fine. Much easier, no extra code needed and makes smaller images as a plus. There are many palette reduce utilities available.
If there is prosecution for bad designers, the people who used off-the-shelf unencrypted solutions for a military device in the 21st century should be put in prison. They just cost taxpayers much more money if not…
It's not a spaceship, it's a very high flying plane that goes 65 miles up. The shuttle orbits at a minimum of 140 miles, the space station is at 250 miles. Earth's atmosphere extends to at least 75 miles, even the 1965…
Hasn't the Archos9 existed already at that price point? http://www.archos.com/products/nb/archos_9/ Possibly with more features? Or is it vaporware?
It only puts out half an amp which is not enough for all devices (should do a full 1 amp). Also, I buy A/C -> USB adapters for less than $1 off ebay. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usb#Power A host or hub Charging…

If they had any sense of humor it would have been 99. But then again it's the Pentagon.
Maybe we can spend the trillions from fighter jets and pilot training on health care? The war machine expenditure in the USA is more than EVERY OTHER country on earth COMBINED (and it's deficit spending). The problem is…
This is fantastic. However can you even imagine a "too many bikes" problem in the USA? My town has many bike lanes but bikes have disappeared from even the college campus at an alarming rate as students come in as…
They are crazy to try to buy it back now, unless it's just a ploy to milk more money out of the original sale. There are a bunch of lower cost DIY voip services and Google Voice could crush them in a year.
I'm sorry, this is very wrong to do. If you think it's a pest, kill it without making it suffer but don't make any living thing your plaything while you kill it. This is the sign of a sick society, or at least a sick…
You know what I worry about, war becoming too "easy". Drones, robots, etc. with little or no human toll to pay.
When do we get to retire myspace, which is essentially geocities 2.0 ?
Adding premium content means more ads for it and upselling which will make visiting the site less and less pleasant for "free" content. But they will never have competitors as they are the only one that owns the rights…
So California is close to being the first failed state despite high taxes on luxury items. Let me guess, CA has low taxes on property, so they have to tax everything else?
Some key quotes in there to think about: RotaTeq costs a little under $4 a dose to make. Merck has sold a total of more than 24 million doses in the US, most for $69.59 a pop (a 17-fold markup) In 19th-century England,…
But it lifted an entire day's worth of news. Health care? Afghanistan? Oh look it's a balloon.
Does Google do something like this for their servers for the chat service inside gmail? I've noticed it can keep http connections open for extremely long times.
I wonder when they will start mapping the inside of public buildings.
It's news that marketeers exagerate to the point of lying in commercials? All they had to do was say it doesn't have CONVENTIONAL blades. But then 90% of the low IQ market this is aimed at wouldn't know what they mean,…
While the discussion quality is high, does this really belong on HN?
