Any HVAC system installed or revamped in the past 15 years is likely to have a programmable thermostat. Whether people are using these _correctly_ or not (which as others have touched on here is not necessarily super intuitive, part of the

Yes, I did try it out-- for me at least, on FF/Win7, it just inserts about 20 whitespace characters.

isn't the same auto-correct system in TextEdit.app available by default in any cocoa text-fied on OS X? And if you think that system 'mostly sucks', perhaps it is because you are vastly underestimating what a difficult featur

I don't get what the 'insert line divider' is meant to be. It seems to just insert a large, fixed amount of whitespace characters?

looks like its basically just the reference implementation of the MGC3130 chip, with an arduino library for i2c communication.

Anyone from the project here care to elaborate on the niceties of this dedicated chip? I'm currently putting finishing touches on a project with a swipe-based (touch, not hover) interface built around the (surely rough-and-dirty, but s

There's nothing new in Autodesk buying up everything they can get their hands on in the parametric modelling space, but I was surprised to see recently that they have made a rash of acquisitions and new product developments targeting t

Target has their own line of credit and debit cards which they push aggressively in-store, I assume these plans pertain to those.

The difference is that harboring conflicting and controversial viewpoints is part and parcel of the mission of a University.

I can see this being big with the media-art crowd for installations if it has any sort of real graphics oomph. From what I've heard the pi is just barely capable of hd video, anyone able to divine these tech specs into a comparison wit

The public school you attend is not generally viewed as a free market decision as only certain members of society have the economic freedom to 'select' a different one, and public schools have legal obligations to protect the priv

So surprised (pleasantly) to see this! The original Eliss is still one of my favorite games. Last I heard though you were working on Faraway? What's the status of that project?

Ditto. I can't imagine they didn't discover this during the submission process -- seems like a strange decision to go ahead with it..

I can't claim to be well-versed on this story, but I would like to point out that a couple weeks ago the author of this piece was accused of misrepresenting the issue in the local paper, The Star Tribune. In particular he was called ou

Isn't this just the standard 'Windows is woefully insecure' problem? I would be curious to see how this works in the browsers on OS X.

Curious to see this today, as the FF enterprise mailing list has been filled with grumbling this week about FF's inability to auto-update itself or its plugins, and the headaches that causes us IT folk when paired with the auto-quarantining

Funny; all this time I thought the goal of entrepreneurship was to build a sustainable business.

I'm guessing you changed it since this feedback, but I really like the current color scheme. The lighter-grey bubbles around the actual code do a nice job directing focus to the important bits.

I'm not really seeing why I would want the label of the section in question hidden when I'm dealing with it, and at least for me there's not really a parity between 'dealing with' and 'hovering over with my cursor' anyway, unless I'm copyin

I recently spent the better part of a day trying to figure out this seemingly-straightforward problem, so if you do go down this road I'd recommend a tool called wkhtmltopdf: http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned how badly in need of proofing this content is. I just looked through a handful of sections but the ones I saw were littered with missing words, out-of-place headings, and poorly-cropped illustrations. It s

I also wasted a fair amount of time looking through these files, trying to figure out what all the miscellaneous bash configs had to do with the stated purpose. I did find that there is a nice undocumented feature of the cdff command, which

I think the progress bar is the most brilliant part of this whole thing. I don't read reddit, not because I don't think I would find it interesting but simply because I know it would suck so much time that I stay away. I did the same as the

Yeah, the quote seems pretty clearly to be in reference to Google Plus in general and the universal toolbar and redesigns they've been rolling out, not the social search results specifically. Pretty misleading article.

Am I missing something here? All I see are five boxes you can drag around with javascript which have some buttons and menus that don't do anything.
