I wonder if they've just hard coded their names for now because they had trouble doing fingerspelling, because I doubt that someone's name-sign is just a 'T'. That's really close to the sign for 'bathroom&#x27

My comment was a little tounge-in-cheek, but as mentioned there are good episodes about the perils of being cryogenically frozen.

What about Futurama? The whole show is about someone who gets woken up from being cryogenically frozen. We could stand to learn a lot about Fry and his adventures.

It depends on how its implemented. If it's "Whats your mother's maiden name?" and they let you reset it in the browser, it's a bug. But if they send you an email (in my case to Gmail, that has 2FA turned on), then i

You can also report potholes on Waze. Some city governments actively follow Waze [0], so it would be easy for people to report potholes, and the government to watch and see where they need to be filled. [0] http://www.wkyt.com&#

> "many users browse at non-100% zoom" This sounds dubious. Do you have a source for this?

Nice! Thanks for this. Having a file encrpyt to an HTML file is pretty interesting, something I've never considered before. Very portable.

Is this open source? The JavaScript that encrypts the file (sjcl.js) is minified and I don't feel like spending hours trying to figure out what it does. Is this a JavaScript library that was reused from somewhere?

Damn you did your research. I approve.

It's a good first step though. This means that websites can start telling users "we don't support this browser because Microsoft doesn't", etc., and they will die off quicker.

Someone told me that the classic theme went away in window 8/8.1/10, made me kind of sad because I too always changed to the classic theme.

I saw a report a while back that if you put your car keys in the freezer or something it blocks enough of the signal from your keys so that someone can't use this signal repeater to unlock your car, it's supposed to act like a Far

I find it extremely fascinating that public or college libraries can have such a vast collection of items that something of this significance could go unnoticed for almost 15 years (article says that it may have been put in the library in t

Surprised that no one has mentioned Google Wallet ( https://www.google.com/wallet/send-money/ ). You may have issues sending money outside of the US, and a Google account is required. No fees and I've never ha

For the life of me I don't understand why they removed 3rd party apps. I used Classify, SoundDrop, SongKick and others all the time, they were so useful. I understand that they wanted people to use their Web API and SDK, but it was so

Good on you. I would refuse to work at any company that places such ridiculous standards on its employees. I'm surprised you even stayed for 4 months I would have been out of there much sooner.

Ah ok, I guess I read this wrong: > SMSSecure works like any other SMS application. There's nothing to sign up for and no new service your friends need to join. Made it sound like there's nothing to install. Kind of confusing.

As someone who doesn't follow TextSecure or anything else, how does this work? How do my messages get encrypted, yet the people I'm texting don't need to install anything to read them? What am I missing here.

Second this, great feature. I've been waiting for a fork of Chromium or Firefox that will refuse to load http links, although in retrospect an extension would work better for that anyway.

You should listen to this podcast about desalinization. Towards the third part of the podcast they talk about the problems with desalinization and why it isn't always the solution. I just listened to it yesterday, very interesting!
