Thank you for being honest about the challenges you have faced with this hardware goal. I'm a little disappointed I won't be getting my Ohm battery, but it is better than promising something you can't deliver or delivering so

That would be awesome, thank you for considering it!

Thank you for the link, I was wanting to read that article but had forgotten about it. I met Don on a return flight from SJC to OGG. He seemed very kind and passionate about the Makani Power project at the time. The idea, as he explained it

No only that, but clipping power is much safer than a data stream in mid transfer.

That is good to hear. That makes is perfectly feasible.

Do you have an idea of how many watts this will run at? I live off-grid so every watt counts.

It is interesting that Hawaii isn't at all mentioned, considering that electricity is 30 to 45 cents per kWh and the electric company limits the number of grid-tied solar installations per neighborhood. No where in the US is solar mor

That looks like an interesting story, I'll check it out.

While I agree that the normal connotation of addiction is something that is destructive, I've expanded my definition of addiction to something that is a "mood altering dependency". Previously, if I didn't meditate regula

I am glad that perspective helped, it has helped me tremendously. If you are more curious, I'd suggest investigating the book called A Course In Miracles. It clearly defines the addictive thinking patterns and the way through them.

I totally agree. I actually started out using a coin, but I got too embarrassed walking around the store, standing in front of a bunch of choices, and flipping through options. The was one of the motivations to create the app, since it is m

From my experience and observations, most people don't grow out of being addicted, they simply shift their focus of addiction. This often goes unnoticed because there are many people who are addicted to things that the majority of soci

Born and raised here also. Have you been back recently? They amount of new development land and business is a bit unsettling. I am surviving well as a developer, living off the grid, with a satellite internet connection.

This is about as technologically advanced as we get here on Maui: http://www.htdc.org/incubation-techcenter-mrtc.html

That is some slow internet. I am in a remote region of Hawaii with no public utilities. No water or electricity reaches here, no phone or cable lines either. Currently satellite is my only option, which is fine speed wise, but latency is qu

Are there plans to support Softlayer?

That is really good to know, thank you. I've been thinking of getting a console, but I have limited bandwidth via a satellite connection. Constant updates as you described would eat my allowance up really fast.

I went over my ISP bandwidth cap twice before I realized OSX was doing this in the background. For people with limited bandwidth allowances, this isn't a good option.

I got excited at the prospect of a new surfboard. Alas, this is a long skateboard.

I admit, my comment was biased towards the negative side of the industry in relation to the parent comment. While I agree there are many positive experiences and opportunities in the hosting field, I've found less interest in providing

Hosting is a pretty stressful and thankless industry. Your services can run flawless for years and your clients wont think twice about you, but as soon as the mail server crashes you are somehow evil and ruining their business. You were sma

In case anyone is curious, it seems you need to add full write access to the root install directory as the config.php file is added there.

Google may not be a car company, but they are developing self driving cars.

How would this work if you have all email notifications, and actually all notifications from facebook disabled? Or going to a non-existant account? It seems that they would need some kind of proof of delivery.

She could have very well mixed vinegar and baking soda and sealed the result in a weak bottle. Given the right amount of each ingredient, this mixture would "explode".
