I saw someone made a version of one of those "Share It!" links that only showed ones it sniffed (with others accessible by a one-click menu).

Yeah - likewise, if I've already spent $400 on a player, the sales pitch "you've made such a good investment in this piece of equipment, why ruin it all with cheap cabling" seems to sell itself.

While I'm not as unlucky as a .museum user, I use a .me address as my main public contact address, and you'd be surprised at the number of well-designed sites that don't think it's a valid email.

All that's missing on the timeline (probably on Saturday morning, around lunch) is a blog post by Jason Calacanis about how he wants to buy the username from whoever got facebook.com/jason.

It's an interesting argument the author is making, but it sure sounds like it's a bit of a reach at this point. Sure, the iPhone has nice market penetration in a certain demographic (who are more likely than others to buy gizmos) but I stro

They get weather updates en-route sent to them by their home airline (via the radio system) - not to mention that jets of that size carry along with them a better weather radar system than most local news channels have.

I guess the new business model being presented is the dealer network owning the company (as opposed to the other way around), and the "company" being centered on design and marketing, as opposed to manufacturing. In some ways - but on a lar

You may want to play with the name a bit, but it could be too late in your development for that - the first thing I thought of when I read "alchitect" was a site that I could tell all the kinds of booze I had in my closet, and it would give

They do - they've got a pinger that sends out a signal after a crash has been detected to aid in locating the box, similar to an avalanche beacon. Problem is that it's not all that strong, and is likely under a few tons of airplane and a fe

Assuming that there was a part of the plane that could open to create a viable jump platform (which there isn't in current designs), it would seem that the situations the plane has a problem, but it's stable enough that you and your 2-500

When a plane is flying and not transmitting anything, is the reason that nothing's wrong, or that the system that sends updates when something goes wrong (possibly among others) is broken?

Satellite transponder space is expensive, and you would need a whole lot of it. Even if you somehow got the capacity, who would pay for it, and who would collect the data? There's also the problem that satellite communication is difficult t

For the record, Calacanis has given in to Fluther's requests in a comment ( http://is.gd/LXUp ): We’ll take down the account for you if it’s such a big deal. It’s like a half dozen questions that were imported by our user. Just so you know

For those of you (us?) that wear ties, what knot do you use?
410.
by JimmyL 17y ago
If you think your tie is uncomfortable, it's likely that the real culprit is a too-small shirt and an improperly-tied knot. When the two of those things are done right, you shouldn't even notice that you're wearing a tie.

by JimmyL 17y ago
Neither do the collars on polo shirts, or the patterns (or dye, for that matter) on the t-shirt you're probably wearing. If all we wanted was practicality, everyone would be wearing un-dyed ponchos - but we're not. Some people like ties - t

What this service does, if I'm reading this right, is bypass the stage where you talk to a triage nurse - you're triaged based on what you report is wrong with you, as opposed to what a nurse sees is wrong with you. Do you have any mechanis
