A query - would having a smart phone be necessary in order to use the service? I understand that it says it lives on the smartphone but would the service still be accessible via the browser?

This is also my experience. As long as the contrast is within the acceptable WCAG ratios for accessibility, I don't really see any problem.

This is clearly just my laptop (or maybe firefox) but that google site took about 30 seconds to load up. Every time I click on the tab that has it open - my computer fan whirs up to near full speed and it locks up firefox's graphic ren

I think many would agree with you, that most modern browsers with the expected features are pretty bloody efficient pieces of software. I believe what OP was saying was that the layers of abstraction used in building web application on top

Could it be my new scripting language? It sounds pretty avant-garde... maybe a little too much for me. My mindset is just not there. As others have mentioned - I also like the interactive environment that is available with traditional scrip

Sure it is -- actor model is an is an abstraction of software behaviour. Web services can be modelled as such.

That's really... what word to use? .... that's really fresh ! I like it a lot. Spent some time going to sleep with '10 hours of rain' youtube videos in the background. This is like all the soundscapes in one place. I pa

Ha, that's an interesting idea. About 2 months ago -- for a presentation about being vigilant with your smartphone on public APs -- I implemented a toolkit that was essentially a man-in-the-middle/evil twin -- a single channel BSS

Very cool. I love seeing these home made operating systems. Nice to see an in-house C implementation! The feature list is very impressive. Screen shot of GCC running in the terminal is straight up smooth!

First thing to get a little closer to that better society -- we need to lose the shady system of secret courts the parents are taken through.

Good to hear from such a long term user! I can't really see my enjoyment for the system waning any time soon; feel pretty at home with Gentoo. I hear that a lot about staying for the USE flags, and it's becoming a similar story fo

Tick 3 for Gentoo: [] Do you enjoy building everything to the minutest specification, regardless of bins being available? [] Do you like the idea of building/rebuilding the entire system into your hardware instead of performing a quick

I'm completely in agreement with you. There are very real experiences that people go through, that have similar outcomes including permanent changes in perception but we lack the common scientific concepts and language to discuss them

Just got to level10 of Nebula, literally 15 minutes ago. Been doing levels in bed before crashing out -- It's really good fun so far! Highly recommend.

I heard about this one company that had a similar idea but implemented it via a high frequency acoustic signature; the higher the frequency the stronger the encryption. It apparently turned into this nightmare of competing signatures and pe

That's good news. I'm hearing more and more good things for open access to journals and research. Now a country's governmental organisation is opening it's doors. Let the information flow!

Why is self-awareness an indication of something other than "thinking meat"? Why can't it be a more abstract form of thought?

Yep, that is the most likely reason. Also the dude holding it at the top looks like he could be a lovable-rogue antiques dealer, in a similar vein to Lovejoy.

Box model sites on a round screen... Sure, you could if you really wanted. On a side note - this device actually piqued my interest... dunno why?

That's an interesting one - I like the idea of technology allowing a more inclusive society; enhancing mobility to some people to get them to the shops, allow other people to use steps; maybe one day those who wish to regain their sigh
