As my paranoia ramps up year on year, I now use Opera with µBlock. For me, it has the polish of Chrome with some nice extras, but without the increasingly creepy Googality. It works fine, although I've not tried µMatrix. (I have my def

Is it just my perception, or are articles receiving progressively less proofing before they're posted nowadays? >Campbell kept flying for more than hour "more than [an] hour"?

I love the [Cunning Of Foxes t-shirt.]( https://gear.mozilla.org/products/firefox-cunning-foxes-tshi... ) It looks like a normal silly t-shirt, the geek is subtle.

I'm a native English speaker. I'm British. I have minimal regional accent (to the point where people find it difficult to pinpoint where in the UK I'm from.) I'm not far off RP and I'm still yet to find a service th

It didn't need to play Doom. It could have played Pong, it could have played Space Invaders, Pacman, Mario, Tetris. It could have played some variation of Flappy Bird. There are lots of video games that are now more widely known than D

The author seems to be assuming that any files on an iPhone were generated originally by that iPhone. This obviously isn't the case, as I send stuff to Android users, iPhone users, even WinMo users. And thus, photos from an Android sho

Not as much processor power, but depending on if/how it communicates over USB, it might make a useful addition to a pi. There's no 3G on it though. I wonder if it can be used (possibly with tweaks) as a GSM/SIP gateway? If so

I guess that would depend on if we billed them at Yank rates ($1000 = ~£600) and if they paid it. I'd imagine it'd be like trying to get the American Embassy to pay the Congestion Charge (£8,775,965 owed and counting).

Where I am, if you want a doctors appointment it's either a normal appointment or an "emergency". If it's not urgent, you ring up whenever and make an appointment, but it'll be a few days at least. I once waited a f

You can do InfiniBand on the desktop, but it necessarily doesn't give the performance you might be expecting. I think I read about this on HN originally... http://www.davidhunt.ie/infiniband-at-home-10gb-networking-o...

Excel gives non-programmers a Swiss Army Knife for dealing with numbers and/or lists. It's not as math as Mathmatica or Mathcad, it's not as databasey as SQL but for most people it's more than enough. It's enough fo

Its a ballache though, especially in 8.1 (u1) with classic start. Press the first letter and get a list of programs that start with that letter? U doesn't bring it up. Because it doesn't start with a U.

Cool, the Pulse Ox link at the bottom of the page is even better (and iirc you can use the pulse oximetry information to calculate heartbeat too). Low-cost wireless version with decent battery life would be fantastic.

For work I often have to use both. I loathe the iPhone keyboard. Is there a reason they don't change case of the letter display when you change the case of the letters? It seems ridiculous on a touchscreen display. (Done using the swip

I think suggesting BitLocker as a viable alternative to their work is "devaluing" their work. Who would trust BitLocker not to be vastly more compromised that TrueCrypt? (Devaluating? sic? Or is that actually a word?)

It's a shame that science, which often bridges political divides, has to suffer due to political bullshit. Somewhat understandable given the history of space exploration, but bullshit nonetheless. It also makes Russia look like a petul

Why would you dispute someone sending you an educational letter? To tell you about struggling artists and starving music A&R men? What are you, some kind of communist? /s Besides, you can always just ring up or email your ISP with
