I'd also recommend the program flux. It adjusts your monitor color and light based on time and location. It won't beat not having anything electronic on at night of course, but it will visibly sync your computer with the sun. http://stereo

I'll just point out that artificial light screws with your sleep cycle. Light will depress melatonin production, LEDs are especially effective at this. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/05/health/05light.html?pagewa...

I don't think Steam would be totally reliable for playtime if it was applied to refunds. A few months ago I used ccleaner and screwed up my graphics driver. I was trying to play a game that I had just bought, but after my mishap with cclean

Colorado Public Radio started Open Air, which is a radio station focusing on new and recent music. You should check it out. Unfortunately while it streams online, offline it is just an am radio station, so I haven't listened to it much beca

I love USAA. Great customer service, great web access, and I can always get someone on the phone no matter the time.

Media companies dislike the DMCA not because it is a joke, but because it hasn't eradicated piracy. Unfortunately it would be practically impossible to stop piracy.

GoDaddy didn't just support this. It has been actively reported that in the current form Sopa would exempt GoDaddy. So GoDaddy realized that the legislation could potentially hurt their business, but decided to support it while it was only

Places like youtube already use methods like that to keep track of copyrights. But that still doesn't deal with the problem of convincing every website to use a registry. Places like TPB definitely wouldn't. And I doubt some file locker ser

It looks like another site selling designer goods on sale. I signed up with a disposable email, but I was not immediately given an invite. I was shown upcoming sales though. http://www.samplesalesites.com/2011/12/thursday-1215-online-...

I think that both humble bundle and indie royale are providing high quality games. I think humble bundle is doing a little better, but I still think both companies will succeed. I don't think that they need to directly compete with steam, I

Super Meat Boy is amazing, it is definitely worth the $5. Although Bit Trip Runner seems engaging from the few minutes I've played, the graphics are little blurry and it ends up straining my eyes. The other games definitely look interesting

Then the stores just aren't competitive enough if Amazon is taking business away from them. Tax isn't usually a big enough reason for me to order something online when I'm standing right in front of the product.

Yes, the pc version is a steamworks game.

The only way they can afford to offer this is because they are forcing people to use wifi when available. So I could see them cutting off service to people who root their phones. As to inappropriate use, they have articulated clear standard

It's cheap for unlimited talk, but it's not that great for data. It sounds like they are assuming most people will be using the phone in range of wifi. So if you compare it to plans with unlimited data, it's not incredible. I'm paying $25 a

Their customer service is amazing too. I've never had a bad experience with them.

I worked for awhile at a local power coop. My boss had to go into court one day because someone was caught trying to steal copper from a substation. The guy was lucky he didn't kill himself.

I don't know what "for a limited time" means, but when accounts get downgraded, you keep the higher storage capacity until the end of the billing cycle. Then they give you a limited amount of time to delete files and download them.

Do you know if this includes filters for length? For instance would rips of audiobooks be viewed as eligible for free storage?

There are always inventory editors if you don't want to mine for materials and just build stuff.

Yeah, I think its done internally, but according to the requirements you need to have either an active property insurance or an active line of credit, and you need to be qualified for both. So I don't know what's going on there. But I have

I really can't image using a brick and mortar store. I've used USAA all of my life, so I don't see any need to talk to a banker face to face. My father has bought several houses through them, and he has been able to do everything over the p

That's what they do with deposit@home. I don't think USAA cashes the checks immediately when you cash your checks online. That's why they require you to have a line of credit with them. When you cash a check they give you an interest free l

There was a mechanical Turing machine shown at Makers Faire UK. Supposedly it was built only using hand tools and scrap parts. I'd say that's close enough to a hand-built computer. http://hackaday.com/2011/03/25/mechanical-turing-machine-c

How is that unusual? All the hard science, math, and engineering majors had taken at least one class on programming. And it's not like the majority of MIT students end up not majoring in some kind of engineering or science major.

While I agree that this legislation will be ineffective in fighting piracy, I don't think Google is concerned about the effects of piracy. This would seriously threaten any site that deals with legally questionable material. Instead of dea

The difference is that Sony's pr was negative. And while an absence of a statement on the legislation might disappoint some people, I doubt it would actively shut out a lot of talented hackers.
