Amazon is fabulous, but that sort of real-time return policy workflow is for relatively low-mass & low-expense items from high-volume retailers. Try returning custom car parts or, really, anything close to $1k USD…
A 1% efficiency won't be a net-energy-gain for any sort of large-scale commercial production. Three key questions: 1. What is the relative scarcity, if any, of the materials used to manufacture the "inks". 2. What is…
Nice book plug. I'm reminded of the old CSS Box Model hack for earlier versions of IE. For those not already familiar, Paul is the maintainer of HTML5 Boilerplate: http://html5boilerplate.com/
I suspect this is more about isolating the phone from the radio energy sinks of the human body (surface moisture on the skin & saline blood plasma) than anything to do with the glass itself. Any suitably insulating…
It's not about education or productivity. Top colleges, military training, and most early stage start-up environments all have either explicit or implicit cultures where part of the values indoctrination is to "achieve…
I can't help but be reminded of "hacking" casino comp systems. Please. In truth, this trip cost well in excess of $418 due to the other purchases and time tie-ins involved. I'm all for leveraging advantages, but there's…
Indeed. After I finished it, I was sad for weeks. I just missed being in that world with those people. None of Clavell's other endeavors even comes close (though Tai-Pan was, relatively speaking, a fun modern romp).
Um. Wow. He's THAT desperate for press these days? The author of the article (Jill Fehrenbacher) is married to Peter Rohas--formerly of Engadget/Weblogs Inc. Mr. Rohas is a co-founder of GDGT. Calacanis was an early…
Without a link describing the methods used to garner this information and the raw data itself, these conclusions are, at best, suspect.
As a fellow bullied child, I can empathize with the treatment, but I could not disagree more with the proposed solutions. You simply can not treat children as adults nor can all family situations be adapted to yield the…
I wouldn't use the term "interesting" so much as "foolish". Much like Best Buy's recent firing/non-firing of that employee, the act itself only serves to add more fuel to the negative-PR fire.
Summary: Imperfect system is imperfect. 'Ya gotta love a tautology adorned as journalism. Are there any reasonable alternatives for privately funded research? No. There will always be the urge to game data to fit the…
For those that wish to learn more about the Korean pro Starcraft scene, I urge you to watch the English YouTube commentaries at SC2GG ( http://starcraft.homelinux.org/VODTracker/#v ).
"Spam" is done as part of warming-up during pre-game chat and during approximately the first 10s of most builds. These players aren't spamming. They're selecting individual unit abilities within multiple control groups…
Is this content really within HN's bailiwick?
The aforementioned to be read in the voice of Bender.
All we're missing is violet, indigo, and orange. Then we'd have a full Green Lantern Corps ;). I can understand the philosophical underpinnings, but honestly, it smells of 7-Habits-esque management "science" , and…
This article reminds me vividly why, at my Alma mater, EVERY engineer (even EEs and CEs) were REQUIRED to take a class in their freshmen or sophomore year called "Manufacturing Process & Materials Design". It was…
Um...Wow. Aside from Mr. Garrison's gyro-thingie ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Entity_%28South_Park%29 ), that's the most emasculating mode of travel I've ever seen.
As a D.C. metro resident (living in NoVA), I share your pain. When I moved, I made sure to live close to at least 1 airport (ended up being IAD) for that verysame reason.
For the shop owner(s), making the economic case for having a card merchant account comes down to several factors: - Size of typical transactions - Volume of transactions per billing cycle - % of charge-backs per billing…
Yes. An suitable analogy can be made to a hybrid car. Local servers (electric motor & batteries) for constant/idle-demand and EC2 (internal combustion engine) for high bandwidth & storage overflow during version…
NS. Emacs shouldn't be anyone's first text editor, but if experience is any guide, it will be many's last text editor.
I think that's more a reflection of CNN's lax journalism.
No. They're both "reserved" loop-back addresses, but 127.0.0.1 has more cultural/conventional weight for this explicit purpose and also avoids any possible semantic overloads with dotted-quad zero and/or null values.
