A little bit general but I got the Toshiba CB30-B-104 13-Inch Chromebook (which your link suggests). :) Thank you.

It's strange they never directly tell you what "U Tr?" means. The table they provide is backwards for decoding this, but it looks like it means: "You there?" as in "Are you there?"

The page is just pure white for about 30 seconds before it loads for me. (Gentoo Firefox on Linux.) I don't know why but all the items on the page are positioned off page with "visibility: hidden". Anyway, in case the author

I find these kind of articles very interesting. It's interesting the play you get between "too expensive" and "worth the extra money". It's interesting to see what's considered worth the extra effort.

Am I the only one that noticed: "<h2> Moving to <iframe> embeds</h2>" I'm not entirely sure if it's a little joke or genuine mistake? Regardless, this is absolutely great. I haven't had flash

Interesting. I wonder if anyone will fill empty warehouses with them and just sit tight and wait until they're no longer considered currency and so can be melted down (legally)?

Whenever I see new top-level domains I can't help but think that the internet would probably be nicer without any top-level domains at all. You can still always buy a sub-domain from someone. Failing that, does anyone know if any of th

I'd assume you'd lose your domain. If you're lucky someone else might pick up the gTLD and you could probably keep it then.

A fine of 250 euros is actually pretty lacks given that they are unlikely to enforce this heavily. I would think that I and many other people would be quite happy to risk that. What do other people think?

I don't think so. I found these two very amusing even: "@AmericanAir hello my name is Ibrahim I think you guys are the BOMB!!!!!!" "@SouthwestAir I bake really good pies and my friends call me ″the bomb” am I still allow

Fair enough. Yes. I guess I guess I can understand it being nice to always use a standard time. It would be really awesome if whenever there was an advert on TV if the iPhone showed the current time. However with the scheduling of TV ads I

Hehe. Interesting and kind of strange. If it's so important that the screen-shot shows the current time when it is displayed why not just have it show the correct time with a program? It doesn't seem like that would be terribly di

It's just text so hopefully it should be able to stay up. However I really like backing up things and making a local mirror so I'm not going to stop you. I hate it when something interesting like this vanishes from the internet an

I just thought I'd like to know what Hacker News thinks. Will Python 2.x ever die? I'm still writing lots of code with it and even quite a lot of new code. It's been around for ages and it feels like almost no libraries have

Also I'd be interested to know how the room temperature affects it. If I eat my toast in my fridge will I get less toast sweat? What should I set my house thermostat to? My guess is setting the room temperate as high as possible (and a

This is amazing. Keep up the good work. I'd be quite happy if governments would give small grants to this kind of every day useful research. I personally eat large amounts of toast so this is an issue very close to my heart. Here in th

It's fixed now with the servers no longer overloaded (although for some reason I had to start again). What was happening was that the highlighting of you and the boss were not showing. So just the page without anything interactive.

I've heard a few people saying that they're staying with Windows XP in their company internally. The idea being that as the internal computers share a single access point to the Internet that they can filter everything incoming th

Does anyone know of a nice way to unlock levels for the mirror? I'm on the first jQuery one but all I see is black text on a white screen. No players and nothing changes when I use the arrow keys. I can't find anything in the code

Living forever is somewhat an exception. But even if people live forever there will still be a hard bound. Imagine a population of 8 people (4 couples). With one child per couple the first 4 couples will have 4 kids. These 4 kids will have

Looks really cool but I'm slightly disappointed to see that when buying these Compute Modules in bulk they still each cost about the same as a single full Raspberry Pi (Version A). The Compute Modules do have 4gb of built in flash that

"Whereas in the simulations, the larger populations were allowed to have only one child per couple". This seemed a little strange to me. If you have only a single child per couple wouldn't you expect the population to at leas

Well hobbies to Google or not they're still big businesses compared to most (and most are growing). Actually having a lot of small "hobbies" seem quite a good way to diversify. Although they still make most (I think) of their
