Donated to the ACLU for the first time today. I also plan to call my representative on Monday.

I'll check it out James. I keep up with you on twitter, wish I had more time to contribute. I have a lot of respect for your hard work though.

I have a ton of code that relies on System.Drawing so I've been watching this closely. These are projects that go back over 10 years now. I have code in both web server and client side versions. System.Drawing offers some features tha

I run a network of online vinyl lettering design sites I have written over a period of 5 years. I started with the custom cart platform on asp.net MVC and just one website. It is a multi tenant platform with end to end web to print capabi

It can handle some degree since they do reboosting burns occasionally. But it does remind me of this incident quite a while ago. http://www.space.com/4432-nasa-weighs-excessive-vibrations-s...

Could the ISS be retrofit with boosters and sent to mars? Honest question... I don't know the physics behind this. Would the structure hold enough fuel to be able to slow down? We have shown people can live there for a year at a tim

I'm curious how webpass is achieving this type of coverage. I live in a pretty small town and our one Wisp has saturated nearly every channel of 900mhz, 2.4ghz and 5ghz. I work with the local radio station frequently that leases t

I do software in the sign and digital graphics industry. We rely on Pantone to make sure what we produce matches what the customer (usually somewhere else in the world) expects. For this reason it is incredibly helpful to have a standard.

Newegg/Amazon product reviews are a good starting point. Avoid new models until they are well tested and bugs patched.

A neat idea but why not take that $60 and buy a router that didn't require resetting. They do exist. My Asus router just never needs reset. I have it on an ups unit and the only time it is reset is to do firmware upgrades.

I never understood farming out their search engine to Bing in the first place. Google literally prints money with their adwords search business. Seems instead of attempting to innovate they just threw in the towel and gave up? I just fin

Exciting to see the rc released. I've been waiting up until this point to really dive into a project. One of the things that will be a huge barrier for me though is the lack of system.drawing. I've worked in the sign and graphics

Our city and parts of the county have 5.8ghz Ubiquiti equipment serving internet for thousands of residents provided by our local WISP. I also rely on this service myself since I'm just outside of city limits, this would surely be a b

I guess I was so caught up in the fact that he was trying to buy an ICBM. I didn't really think about the timing as well. This would have been within 30 days of 9/11 happening. Hard to imagine even thinking about doing something

Coming up on my 3rd year now working from home and running my own company. I agree with most of this article. The lack of social interaction is probably what I miss the most. Overall it has been a positive change for me though. I had se

I have a similar opinion. Not to mention I have a many clients/projects already built on MySql databases. Moving to a different DB is expensive and unnecessary.

I get what you're saying, but living in rural Indiana I could say yes basically. Our water, gas and power companies here locally are coop non profits and the employees are residents (and users themselves). The whole experience dealin

I'm curious if you've used Durandal. What you're describing is essentially what Durandal is. Modular framework built on knockout and require. The router in durandal works well and is one of the pieces which influenced Angula

This is pretty good timing. I got an email from Braintreepayments this week that I needed to implement some code changes for fraud detection and paypal before march. Upon integrating this code I noticed some odd data being sent back: http

Some decent suggestions brought up from a few weeks ago here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8716662 Seems namecheap and DNsimple have suffered from these attacks lately. I had some sites affected by namecheaps DDOS.

I'm going to move some things over to Route 53. I like Namecheap but this is the second DNS issue they've had in a month that has affected several of my sites.

I don't really use these VPN services, but I did see they use PPTP (for android at least). Isn't that flawed/insecure?

I'd like to see them keep the 7" tablet size also. I bought my wife a 7 and it is a great size to pack away for flights and traveling. Just generally a lot easier to pack around.

I had that phone before my Nexus 5. The 5 is still a great phone a year later and will feel like a big improvement still over your Galaxy Nexus. Even better if the price drops on it.

I bought the Nexus 5 as soon as it was released and have really liked it, however, I'm not sure I'll be buying this one. The biggest issue I have is the screen size. I just think 6" is over my threshold. At $649 I can basi

Looking forward to reading the new one. I have been evaluating your company for a month now and had decided to move some sites over, however as your AUP is written they would be in violation (cron jobs).

I haven't given up on passive income, but I try to work smarter not harder. That being said what I do would be considered semi passive income. Since consulting work isn't consistent I've spent about 2 years building up a ne
