I use RingCentral for my one vacation rental and am very happy with them. Guests like to call me up to reserve the house or ask lots of questions. It helps to build some trust since renting a house for your family to live in for a week is

There is also a free IDE: http://www.flashdevelop.org/wikidocs/index.php?title=Feature... and in combination with the free Flex SDK (compiler et al) from Adobe then that's a decent combination, too.

Anyone know where it was shot? It looks like somewhere around Seattle. West Seattle maybe? Magnolia?

Well, mostly I was just trying to see if they were headed in that direction... but there might be some logic in that SNPs do not always represent the functional differences in genes - they generally have their power because they are correla

In addition to that, maybe some spam filters work by automatically putting a sender on a whitelist if it gets through once, and then after the sender is on the whitelist, he can spam with something real later.

I spent a couple hours this weekend trying to find some software to go through the 1000s of photos on my desktop and do face detection / recognition. I didn't find anything useful. Riya seems cool, but there is no way I am going to upload

This is an article about a patent filing by Apple. When are people going to cry fowl that Apple is abusing the patent system by trying to patent something as obvious as multi-touch? Microsoft was demoing this technology years ago. Just be

I can't guarantee its safety, but I glanced at his JS, and it seems harmless. (later edit: I probably should have posted this during the day to give someone a chance to fix it so no one new actually exploits this... should I delete it?)

Can someone actually explain what it means? I'm not a professional programmer, but I haven't seen notation like that.

My grandma doesn't have a dialup ISP, a broadband connection, or even a computer, and I suspect that many folks are in that boat. Maybe something like this would be cool: http://www.usbackbone.net/wholesale_dial.htm and then you'd have to

If there is any way you could do this with a dialup connection, then you have yourself a real golden opportunity... especially if there was no monthly fee for 5 pics/month or something. I would buy one right now if it did this. My recently

I think that online office tools (Google docs, zoho) are slow and extremely tedious. They are pretty looking, but usability is worse (slower) than the 1987 versions of word processors on PCs. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=211015

I was about to try and finally learn some lisp but now I am scared... Are there really nearly 1000 symbols? All in the same namespace? I thought you guys were always trashing php for having too many symbols.

Why, when I click that link, do I have to click "back" 4 times in order to get back to HN? (Firefox 2, winxp) Are they being rude by doing a bunch of redirects (and making it harder for me to leave) or is there something else going on?

Are there any companies where they will send you a 16gb flash drive, you fill it up and send it back, then they host the files (or upload them to flickr, smugmug, etc)? I'd pay $25 for that service.

I personally think that Macs are eating into the Linux crowd. Haven't you noticed that in the past year or two how the buzz over Ubuntu has dwindled, and now all the "cool" developers run around with macs? I wonder what those official sta
