What did you expect GET requests to be counted as then? As an aside, I think it's fairly well documented: https://cloud.google.com/storage/pricing#operations-pricing (lists "GET Object" under class B) [b

I solved that issue via a dummy VGA plug, like this: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?200444-DV... ! In fact, I simply plugged the three resistors straight into the pins of VGA port on the HDMI convert

Seconded. I use the 3600 with Gargoyle OpenWrt (www.gargoyle-router.com, basically a web interface to OpenWrt) and it's been nothing but great.

Oh boy. "No one I know uses Google+ much, if at all." I'm getting sooo sick of this argument. Noone I know uses Twitter, but a lot of friends are active on Google+, sharing things in private. Yet I don't call Twitter a f

It means you need to activate your SIM card for this particular rate at Walmart or on their website -- T-Mobile stores and phone support can't do it. Several of my friends have done just that, get a stand-alone SIM card and then activa

The value plan math starts to make sense when you go to family plans and/or routinely need more minutes. We currently have 3 lines, two of which come with 2GB data, with 1000 shared minutes and unlimited messages. $80/month plus taxes.

I second this, helped me a lot, too. In particular, it covers a wide range of topics, each with some introductory exposition, and gives a variety of example questions with answers. Additionally, glassdoor.com has a lot of user-contributed i

It's too late now (I presume the AMA is over), but private browsing or incognito mode has the same effect.

Very nice. It might be helpful to (briefly) describe the actual techniques you tried in the readme file? At least that's the first thing I looked for...

I second the love for the "nipple" that others professed. In fact, I keep the touchpad on my Thinkpad disabled entirely... But even if you don't use it personally, why does that make it "ouch"? Isn't it good to have the choice?

I've found that the cheaper items at Ikea are just that -- cheap, and often not very durable. Once you move up to their higher-priced choices, however, things are a lot more solid in my experience. My parents recently retired a full set of

Maybe it was added later, but the article has a link to a photo album of a "hot tub" in the Seattle office. There's no water in it, people are just using it to hang out.

I agree with all of the above, but as has been said before, getting Android Market on the Fire is not terribly complicated. Yes, it's probably not a viable solution for everyone, but if you already have a Fire and are somewhat technically i

That's different from the one they did live, though, which was IMO more impressive.

That's actually a pre-recorded (and cut) video of a similar jump, possibly a training/testing run -- not the one performed live at I/O.

Kinda creepy indeed. But at least they're being (more) honest about all the things they know about you, like which sports team you favor. ;)

Hi Matt -- while we're on the topic of academic applications (and the likely rejections), I wanted to say how insightful I've found your blog posts regarding the general academia vs. industry matter to be, in particular since I need to make

First branded phone on T-Mobile with IPv6. Also, the HTC One S has been available on T-Mo for a few days now; it's running ICS and should thus support IPv6. Wouldn't that make it the first branded IPv6-capable phone? Edit: As noted below,

I don't necessarily disagree with you, but at least in the case of Google Talk you could argue that the client software has been superseded by web-based interfaces and/or browser extensions. And other programs like Google Earth and Picasa h
