CenturyLink installed FTTH here a few days ago. When I called Comcast to cancel, it sounded like they intended to put up a fight until I mentioned the word "gigabit." Immediately took the wind out of the poor rep's sails.

Yeah, that's what I thought this was at first. Naming it the same as an existing project with the same purpose is negligent at best.

I don't have any personal hardships with the existing system, but whenever I see my statement of benefits where a doctor bills $X and insurance pays them $X/4, I always scratch my head and think, "This is normal? There has GOT to be a bette

The code path for that case must be delightful.

Ahh, you're right. I took a look at the PDFs and the blue circle indicates emergency access routes.

A road? Were you looking at the floor plan for one of the underground parking levels?

It's like how TCBY used to be "The Country's Best Yogurt" but is now "This Can't Be Yogurt." Win now stands for the-opposite-of-lose, instead of Windows.

when I tried to draw "procrastination" it killed the server, apparently.

Having active cables also leaves the door open to optical Thunderbolt cabling in the future, without the need for new hardware.

Kind of a tangent, but it frustrates me to see when a company makes its decisions based on the desires of its shareholders (by legal obligations or otherwise). The way I see it, this behavior only serves to weaken a company. Sure, the share

I'd hate to see your list of questions posed to a potential mate.

Interesting demo, but I feel a bit duped since it's not a pure JS implementation. I expected something written to work with NodeJS, but instead I found a browser-based JS library that talks to an instance of Flash on the page. Still, kudos

I see it as two separate concerns. The first time around, folks criticized the result of the "open" nature of the platform (i.e. fragmentation). Now, these folks are criticizing the so-called hypocrisy in the "open" mantra itself.

The race is on now between Apple and Google! Who will be the first to break ground on their respective paragons of green corporate campuses? I am giddy with anticipation!

Looks like WebKit has problems appending to a very long string. The less we can do that the better, so I came up with this solution: var dest = 'apple'; while (dest.length < 100000) { var out = ''; for (var i=dest.length-5

That's quite the theory you've cooked up there.

An interesting thought, but the square was just a masking tape outline that couldn't be messed with.

I remember back to the days of my youth. My friends and I were participating in Odyssey of the Mind one year, and we had a problem to solve during the state finals. The goal was to build a bridge that could transport marbles from one side o

I enjoyed that feature, but the gesture feels backwards. Seems that a swipe up rather than down would be better for rotating to an oblique angle. Imagine a rotating whiteboard (e.g. http://j.mp/g2KHGc ). Standing in front of it, you'd want
