He makes fun of Opera for one of their applications not working. I then click on the link to the website of the company he is co-founder of and get a page telling me that "an error has occured". Oh the irony.

Supermarket own brand products are often of a much lower quality than branded versions, but sell well because they are cheaper. There is a quality/price trade off with a lot of products and a demand for those on both ends of the spectrum.

When I type es_msg into Google I too get the "did you mean" link, but the top result is the same as the Bing result. Yes, Bing does feel really fast, but it's not like I've often felt like I was waiting too long for a Google result.

Almost everyone does in certain, but not all, disciplines. A lot of papers in subjects like Biology and Chemistry, for example, don't seem to be as accessible.

First of all fair deuce. I wish I had the motivation you do when I was in your position. My suggestion is to take a year out anyway even if you don't find something and work a part time job while doing some open source development. This way

Cool. Good luck :) This area is desperately in need of some innovation.

An interesting idea. Just some comments: The explanation of how it works is pretty confusing. For instance you say "As an example, if a consumer spends half of his time reading the wikipedia, the wikipedia would get a $4.50 credit at the en

I think you're right. Gaming certainly seems like it would suffer a lot less from this, because the interface doesn't generally function like that of a typical Windows/Mac/etc. application with a familiar look and feel. Your game mostly get

"The original system requirements for Windows XP are almost comically low". Is an operating system to only be taken seriously if it requires a significant amount of resources to run?

I don't think having an opinion should preclude anyone from producing these kind of reports or reduce their persuasiveness. Personally I'd prefer to read a report from an organisation, such as the CATO institute whose political opinions are

How about "Effect of decriminalizing drugs in Portugal - stats included"? Don't take my comment personally. The title Time gave the article is misleading too especially since they later on quote someone who calls it decriminalization.

by randomtask 17y ago
The title is wrong. Portugal hasn't legalised drugs, but rather decriminalised possession for personal use. In effect they have the same laws, but whereas users could be sent to prison before they will now instead be assessed and treated by

I'm not convinced. Those links don't seem all that useful, to me at least. On the other hand googling for "packing for long term travel" (minus the quotes) gave me: http://www.vagabondish.com/practical-guide-long-term-travel-... http://e

Generally though wireless hotspots allow DNS traffic out (the DNS server isn't filtered) but not ICMP. In fact if anything is filtered it tends to be ICMP. I'm not really aware of any situations where ICMP tunnelling is useful. Anyone know

Labelling Ramsay as "the guy that yells at people to motivate them" is really doing him a disservice I think. Yes he shouts at people, but that's usually when they aren't pulling their weight in the kitchen, or are being stubborn while thei

That sounds perfect. Although they offer a download and also have an option to pay seemingly with no explanation whether the free version is crippled somehow? I'm not currently near a Mac so I can't check what the difference is between them

I'll check it out for future reference. At the moment though I'm quite bootleg and need something cheap and cheerful.

That's quite cool. I'm not an emacs user, but I'll definitely consider switching to that OS at some stage ;)
