Don't worry, the NSA will take care of everything! They wouldn't remove signatures from a petition they disagree with just because they can.

That thought has crossed my mind, but then I realized that my car is in Florida. Also, I'm 20, so I don't think I would be able to anyways.

I have always wanted to study combinatorics or linear algebra at a graduate level.

MOOCs don't solve a problem. In my opinion, they only perpetuate that university is the answer to life, the universe, and everything in it. The fact is that university-style education (inactive lectures and wrote memorization) are not the a

I don't really see why it matters. If you want to learn, stop trying to get other people to make you feel better about it. Just go do something.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but Mixpanel has something they call Funnel Analysis. If your registration has multiple steps, funnel analysis will tell you where you are losing customers. Mixpanel can tell you that a customer clicked

I second the comment about not having heard of any of these beers. Where's the Budweiser? Also, the site looks awful on my iPad. I didn't even stick around long enough to figure out the point of the site because the elements overlaying each

Based on the general consensus that the DOM sucks, do you think there will be any movement to make change to/replace it in the future? If not, why?

That was magical. I must learn how to do that.

Maybe one thing that would prove useful would be a pipe-heating system. Heating the pipes would also heat the water inside them. Another use for this would be homes in colder climates where the house's pipes are likely to freeze on a cold w

This would definitely be an interesting development, but I think there are a number of concerns here. First off, that would be a lot of tubes. This problem immediately screams a graphing problem with, at the very least, number_of_cities * a

If you did imagine that, you have an awesome imagination! If not, please send some articles on the topic my way. I'd love to read more about it.

Again, this would mean a hyper-intelligent home far beyond the realm of current artificial intelligence capabilities. At the very least, we would require a machine that could pass the Turing test and, from there, we would have to make it un

I don't really know how to respond to this one, but I definitely got a good laugh out of it. Let us know if you discover anything!

Nest ( http://www.nest.com/ ) is already working on a thermostat that solves this problem. I can't imagine it would be hard to adapt it for hot tubs as well. On an unrelated note, I really want a hot tub.

That wouldn't actually increase security. It might help when you have a armload of groceries, but to innovate successfully would require something that makes the home owner more secure for unintended access.

This could work if you had a lot of clothes and didn't wear anything too often. Dry cleaning clothes too frequently will ruin them. Why is it any more difficult to build a machine that works on a 120V 15A circuit? I never studied circuits,

This is actually a fairly feasible solution. It isn't that much different than a typical industrial robotic arm. You should turn your theoretical project into a company. People will pay a lot of money for innovation and convenience.

Another consideration is that you might want the temperature to increase over time. I love hot showers, but I don't want the water to scald me as soon as I turn it on.

Here's the rub: A lot of people keep their dishes in a cabinet above the counter, so there is empty space between the dish washer and the cabinets where the dishes should end up. I can't think of a way around this at the moment except the p

Not everyone is a fan of jewelry, so maybe a thumb scanner would be more effective? The most important part is that only appropriate parties are aloud to open the doors. The same techniques could be applied to windows.
