I live in Brighton and the vast majority of people I know use http://www.just-eat.co.uk/ which is basically an online wrapper for ordering takeaways. It covers loads of the local places and you usually get free delivery within a ~2 mile r

This is a really good read! I'm a first year CS student and I'm interested in going into research later on. Thanks for writing this.

When I scroll the page, it lags slightly. I'm using a reasonably fast computer on Linux and this kind of thing doesn't happen all that much. I can only assume it's because of all the elaborate javascript, CSS, etc.

This is seriously awesome. I don't have a 3D printer or any real facilities for making electronics, but I can't wait to see what kinds of things people make. :)

They're still on invite-only. I remember them having some problems, but I think it's also taking a long time because their idea is so damned ambitious...

You're over your Google API quota. Also, we can see the error traceback - is that supposed to happen? Anyway, this is really good that you're trying awesome stuff like this and you're 11. At your age I was still writing noughts and crosses

Maybe agreements like ACTA aren't just the result of copyright lobbying, but also groupthink?

Oh wow, this is brilliant. I had heard of rainy mood before, but I'm so grateful you've found an mp3 of it. This is going to be on my mp3 player all the time now.

I think it depends. There are NHS dentists and private dentists. I think the private ones' main advantage is that they have shorter waiting lists.

This is awesome! Thanks for providing this service - there are loads of nice pictures on Facebook that I've been meaning to make a backup of for ages, now there's a tool that lets me do that without any fuss.

1. Honestly, I don't think this article is about presenting an audacious new method of bookselling. It's just a clever-if-it-wasn't-so-obvious way of selling his new book. Which is fine, I suppose, but it doesn't make this article especiall

Happy Holidays to you too, OP! :D I got a quad-core Athlon II CPU, 8GB DDR3 RAM, a new motherboard and a DVD drive for Christmas, so I'm naturally feeling pretty happy about that. :)

They already pay the licencing fees to the respective music labels, so if SOPA gets passed they'll be one of the few legal music streaming sites remaining. If SOPA is used to full effect then it's plausible they could get a larger market sh

1280x1024 17" monitor. I'd prefer something larger, at least 1080p resolution. I've tried using multiple monitors before, though. Doesn't do much for me, but then I mainly used them for playing video games and chatting on IRC...

I was about 9, I made some webpages all about the holidays I had been on. They had frames. :) I also made an interactive map of Majorca, and you could click on the regions and windows would pop up, showing information about each region. I t

I guess this illustrates one of the downsides of Google Android being free software: when just about any manufacturer can create a sub-standard phone that runs the operating system, it can really damage the brand as a whole. What a shame.

def add_1(x): return sum([1,x]) Python. Too simple? I didn't use any of the signs, and it demonstrates knowledge of the python standard library! EDIT: Whoops, seems the idea of using the sum() function (or operator) has been dismissed else

The time spent learning the course would still have been spent, had one not used this special method of revision. Still a good point, though. The idea that one can magically learn for an exam in three hours or so is sadly not true...

The program was originally developed by the US Navy to help them protect their own communications, as part of their onion routing project: http://www.onion-router.net/ I have no idea what kind of involvement they have right now, but if a

The thing that interests me about this article is that ~200 years ago, compared to the simplicity of FPTP, most other voting systems would be quite difficult to implement, because all bureaucracy/vote counting would have to have been carrie
