I have 2 of these and still pull them out to play with all the time. There us just something so tactile about the feel in your hand, especially while turning over a calculation. I collect "old mechanical technology" but these ar

This was a great book, I couldn't put it down. Looking forward to seeing the movie adaption and also genuinely excited to see what Weir puts out next. I don't read as often as I used to so it was wonderful to be so enthused about

Looks like the API is no longer accessible from here. Seems like they have pulled it down.

Considering Firefox just switched to Yahoo search, yes this is news.

Didn't PCI-DSS 3.0 go into effect January 1, 2014? Edit: The new questionnaires went into effect today. The previous year's were still applicable through last year.

I believe it has an Nvidia card in it. While I did game on it awhile ago I haven't for several years now. Possibly I haven't pushed the hardware long enough to cause GPU thermal issues to arise.

Perhaps your unit? I have a T61p still in regular use here and it's never had a heat issue?

This is very true, however many people also achieve understanding and closure through details. It allows them to absorb what at first blush seems incomprehensible. Is there something they could have done, should they have known if he was

I saw several email alerts come through as these were being closed. 3 of them were submitted by myself and at least one I would say is still relevant in Android 5.0 That said with the history of how bugs have been handled there I wasn&#x

Sigh, no love for Canada on any of the sources. Soon hopefully.

Thank you, however: - adding "bought" makes an assumption on their source - "Mindstorms", plural, is the name of the kit

Very cool. I just picked up a couple Mindstorms kits and have been debating my first build challenge. This looks perfect (though it won't be as quick I'm sure) Edit: Just playing with the math regarding the speed of this machine

I wonder if they control the domain, or have just agreed to host content for PB while their servers are down? Making a few dollars off it as well with the adcash link. Probably getting a lot of hits from curious individuals seeing if it&#x

Interestingly, not a single mention of the word Blackberry in the entire article. Not that it's required, QNX is being pushed as a separate brand but still, makes me wonder if that is intentional. Scoring Ford for QNX is a pretty nic

I built a system around Iterated Systems Poem Colorbox SDK in the mid-90's. I was always impressed by what they were achieving but the horsepower wasn't there at the time to make the compression process very practical if you were

I have to say as unpopular an opinion as it seems to be I have always stuck to keeping local copies of my core libraries hosted on my server. I know all of the benefits of pulling from a central CDN like Google but I still can't get o

Regarding this being the only piece found... if they needed to get parts off the plane for use as tools, this patch would be a good target piece of metal to go for prying free. I still feel the odds are pretty slim but they make an interes

They put the open hardware logo beside a commercially purchased product they claimed "we designed" at least part of. Lastly the bottom of their page is clearly worded in reference to manufacturing... with "backup suppliers f

They didn't design the case either. The product comes complete, in the same case, from a Chinese manufacturer. Zero assembly required... same RAM and CPU specs... 5 different models to choose from... $20. Claiming they did ANY hard

From the kick-starter page: Our first prototypes were pretty clunky, and cost between $200-$400 just for the parts, but they worked well and proved the concept. We knew that the device had to be small enough to easily conceal, built with qu

Sadly this will bring the Nexus buying streak for me to an end. 6" is too large... the price is too high. Too bad though, that battery and camera would have been nice. I think the Nexus 5 will hold for another year.

Here's my concern on a quick look at the aftermath photos. They bent the phone in the middle, where it's admittedly not that weak. If you look at most of the user damage photos the phone bends towards the top end where the button
