Ok, a followup. I poked around a bit more, and yeah, buried in the FAQ section I finally found the price: $11/month. That's $11/pair of socks. Yikes -- while there are socks worth that much, for that much (even a percentage of that-- I get

My fiancee is probably your target demographic -- she LOVES socks to an irrational degree. I was very curious about what it would cost to buy this as a gift for her... but there's one major problem though: The price isn't listed anywhere on

I think the article you're referring to is called "Is There Anything Good About Men", and has been submitted to Hacker News multiple times. Even though it doesn't have anything to do with technology it's one of the most insightful articles

I notice you don't yet support smart http(s). I wrote (well, update/adapted actually) a plugin for Redmine which allows hosting of git repositories ( https://github.com/ericpaulbishop/redmine_git_hosting ) and I integrated Scott Chacon's "g

This is very true, but contrary to what most people think the real danger isn't nuclear fallout but nuclear winter. Nuclear blasts kick up a lot of dust into the atmosphere, and even a few blasts can drastically alter the climate. A study

Err... As chemists Watson & Crick were light-years behind Franklin. They initially proposed a model of DNA where the phosphates were on the inside. When they showed it to Franklin she (along with other chemists) basically laughed at t

While I can understand how git is better for the majority of use-cases, I found that it was far less suitable than SVN for what I want to do. I used git for a while (3-6 months) and then switched BACK to using SVN. It's true I didn't expe

I admit that I find this critique rather convoluted, but as far as I can tell, the primary criticism of Romer's proposal is that setting up such a "charter city" requires that an empoverished country cede some level of control to a powerful
