Holy crap. Fix the styling on that page. I can barely read it with the red underline grey text links.

Apu may have specified younger single depressed guys. I couldn't find the video clip anywhere still available to get the actual quote, so I'm going from memory.

Try a screen guard then. Some are sold with the cases in the link I provided. You could even get one to reduce the glare.

Why not make the suit require even more energy to move around rather than just trying to replicate the work required to combat Earth's gravity? That would save them some exercise time.

In one Simpsons episode, Apu tells Marge to avoid the line with the old guy ("Grampa" Abraham Simpson) and that the fastest line is the one of the single guys.

Very neat! This would be a lot cooler if it could take a scratchy radio signal with station interference, recognize the frequency (or multiple frequencies if more than one) and isolate them. I've often heard fast morse code signals over rad

Why not eliminate the possibility of something pretending to be a base station to a number of nodes in the immediate area? With a mesh network, a takeover of an area by a single device may be less likely. Still, there would be a chance of o

The problem with these things is the stiff cost by the companies that sell them. No one doubts that they work. However, at this point, cities should be able to by much cheaper alternatives and do it themselves. Even fake cameras work.

Although, I'm quite aware it would cause a lot of accountants and government workers to have to look for new careers, they could solve this problem with the following hammer: http://www.fairtax.org/site/PageServer?pagename=about_main

A peer-to-peer towerless mesh network ( e.g. Terranet http://www.terranet.se/ ) could solve this problem.

I still can't believe that RedHat/CentOS is used so much in businesses over other distributions. WTH? I've not installed Fedora intentionally in a long time, and would stay the hell away from it if I weren't forced to use it at times. Many

Great post, but a few notes: - The 5 slides are actually 6 with the blank one included, and like others said, he has a demo and 40 backing slides. - "I try not to have more than one point or key message per slide." He may have one key impli

Sorry to hear that. :( Please send our condolences to his surviving family and friends. I think that Billy Joel was right when he said, "Only the good die young."

Some ideas: - Blog the summaries. - Write one or more books with all of the information you learn. - Keep one or more "electronic notebooks" (text files) with your notes, organized by topic. Blogging is better though, if you tag posts, beca

Use LibreOffice ( http://www.documentfoundation.org/download/ ) or just use Windows. You could emulate Windows with VirtualBox/VMWare Fusion, but it is slow as hell. You can also get a lower end laptop ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?

A better design would just be a can left on the counter at newsstands where you could drop in a USB drive and maybe pick up someone else's if you were interested.

Alright Apple, how in the hell are you going to get out of this one? You were awarded a trademark for "There's an app for that" ( http://mashable.com/2010/10/11/apple-trademark/ ). But, this is Sesame Street. However, Sesame Street will b

I don't think it is an A/B test. They just want to dominate the web in the short and long term. The majority of their efforts support this hypothesis. To own the web in the current day and age, they would want to: - Own the browser (so they

Well said! I agree with all of it. I'd only add that the U.S. isn't the only country that can innovate, and that innovation needs purpose beyond energy production. I feel that purpose should be: - Colonizing space. - Making better use of ou

I analyzed your tweets, site, etc. myself, and odds are good that you are a capitalist but would be better off voting for a Democrat. I say this because 1. You are a Hokie, 2. You are schmoozing with big wigs of companies that might end up

But, rrc has a point about voters requiring something to identify them, even if the reason for the license was problematic. The current system allows fraud which could affect close elections. I don't like the idea of a national ID, nor mark
