As a gainfully employed adult, i'd also pay for a reasonable service that would give me content that I want with less annoyances. If I were still a teen or even a low-income college student, I'd still be exploiting all the things

I've gotten so used to this it's actually quite jarring when I want to background a video and I get the "rightsholder doesn't allow this" notice.

I remember having a "relativity" revelation as a kid riding in the back of our car. So we're cruising down the highway. But wonder, what if I could just stop . I would zip through the back of the car, being stationary on the

You don't even have to get to the dump itself to see expressions of extreme paranoia. See anyone in the media simply at a loss about 'the darkweb' and it being so full of unknown things by its nature.

I don't think they implied that the chip should be read only, you should still be able to have a flashable firmware of some sort. But instead of giving this chip which should be read-only regulated by software direct access to the bu

This is one of the biggest reasons why HN needs thread folding. Once the first-loudest voice catches on, it's hard to see the rest of the discussions without distraction.

It'll be interesting to see how this new Microsoft/Mojang effort stacks up with prior partnerships that Mojang already has. See Teacher Gaming LLC and their Minecraft Edu project http://minecraftedu.com/ They rece

I really like it. It's built solidly, and the kickstand in the back is very flexible, can be used in many positions. With the magnetically attached keyboard cover, I've been able to use it on my lap without many issues. Since the

Ditto. My x61t was a workhorse at University and beyond. I love the the 4:3 aspect ratio. There is something about the extra vertical space that is hard to get across with some people. It's like the freedom felt with tall ceilings. I w

Yep. Chrome on a Surface Pro 3. Doesn't react to click events, only worked if I actually touched my screen.

I used to visualize the sun more easily (naively) when figuring time differences. After moving from 45N to rough 60N it's gotten weirder with the even longer summer days. The sun doesn't just "go west' as if the earth&#x

Once Google Maps reached sufficiently high-resolution satellite images to actually see all of the gravel roads, I was actually a bit awestruck. The majority of the state of Iowa looks like a sheet of graph paper. I grew up a in the region a

As someone who currently has his physical books stored away in a locker a third of a world away, I'm souring to my former preference for physical books. It's definitely not perfect but I wish more books went the DVD model where if

My primary school education was at a small rural church school. We had 3 classrooms for grades 1-8. I believe it was mostly broken into 1-2, 3-5, 6-8. The teacher for one of the rooms would have to break up the day to teach separate sub-set

The flip side to your purely technical viewpoint is exactly why the industry created HDCP. The 'perfect' data transfer method (w.r.t. analogue copying) that you see as a major benefit is a potential disaster that would enable rec

This would be fantastic! Light is essential for me to get up properly. I currently have an alarm that gradually ramps up a lamp in my room to full brightness. It works well, but the downside is that it only stays on full brightness for a se

Witter has historical significance as being an accessible ice-free port in winter. This is why the train tunnel was cut, to support a navy outpost and shipping. Prior to the tunnel it could only be reached by sea. Nowadays i'm sure the

It's actually quite interesting to me that many 2014 AV receivers support HDMI 2.0 (Fully capable of 4K video pass through) but DO NOT have HDCP 2.2 implemented. They are technologically fully capable of providing the desired service (
