Most people use screen readers because it is much much faster than braille displays. Especially since most blind users speed up the screen reader speech rate very high. If you are an emacs user check out emacspeak: http://emacspeak.source

Jekyll is easier to get started with. If you know ruby, middleman can be very powerful if not it can be a pain.

It isn't silentbanned but slowbanned, hacker news gets very very slow and almost impossible to use unless you wait the very long times to post your dead comment.

Can you remove position:fixed from the header css, it makes more sense when that theme is used as a doc but for a blog it is unnecessary.

That isn't commonplace in the US which I assume that is where he is from considering the whois info. In fact it would probably be much more expensive here. The main choices probably are a family member picking up groceries for you, or a sma

Differential equations has its uses within specific fields. If you want to do anything involving control systems or robotics it would be good to have a background that includes differential equations. Anything related to kinematics usually

It is probably hard for people to give you recommendations if you don't give any details about your usage. But I've used maxcdn[1] before but they seem to have changed their pricing recently, but they do allow you to pay upfront and they do

To give an example of what the increased land area leads to: I get 1Mbit/s down and 0.5Mbit/s up for the same price that my uncle in the city gets 40Mbit/s down and 8Mbit/s up. The reason is that I live in a rural area about 20-30 miles fro

Fremont is a terrible DC for linode and it sucks if you are not aware of that when you buy a vps from them but I use the Dallas DC and haven't had any major problems to speak of in quite a long time (at least 5 AWS outages or more).

Probably because google doesn't make it's money directly from the majority of people using it's services. And those that do pay do get support http://support.google.com/adwords/answer/1385067?hl=en And I believe there is some support for

That's because you have OSX font rendering, here is what it looks like on ubuntu: http://i.imgur.com/YysUNuX.png I'd hate to see what it looks like on windows (especially chrome which makes fonts even thinner).

You'd be surprised at how many engineering companies (research and otherwise) use Excel. I'd argue that it is used more than Matlab or any other programming language/environment in some fields (like Mech Eng). Now that is just a small subse

I pay for fastmail, but there was a workaround where if you signed up for GAE with your domain you could get 1 free account. (Don't know if that still works) I believe microsofts offer costs similar to the google apps.

It isn't the scantily clad women necessarily it is that they are really the only registrar people can think of when they want to get their own domain because godaddy is the only domain registrar that advertises on tv.

It's not just you, I recently used a SIII and it is giagantic compared to my iphone 4 which makes it difficult to use. (And I don't have stubby fingers).

I think its the blogspot theme with the gears in a box that your thinking of. http://googleblog.blogspot.com/ It isn't the same but Mega uses their animation in the same way.

I think the ribbon is okay. I had just as hard a time finding things in Word/Excel 2003 as I did in Word/Excel 2007 but after a while the design started to make sense. I still had to google things but I also had that problem with the older

You can use a vim emulation mode in sublime so all your hard work wasn't for nothing but I believe some of the more advanced vim features don't work in sublime. The advantage of sublime is that it works well out of the box and with package

You're confused about how gplv2 works, Genesis gives you the source code and you are free to distribute it if you'd like, or alter it, but they don't have to distribute it for free. You can read more about this kind of thing here: http://w

Very cool, this could be what svbtle should have been. If you implement the things like trending and subdomain user blogs (with things like domain hosting add-ons in the future) I could see it being a very useful blogging alternative. Nice
