I am ashamed to admit I spent far too much time doing exactly that. The Japanese one really cracked me up.

Absolutely incredible. This will be the furthest that humanity has journeyed away from Earth in a very long time. However it is worth noting that there hasn't been a single crewed Dragon flight yet. There are demonstator flights schedu

It will be interesting to see how it competes against more traditional solar systems. Right now I can get a 10KW system, with an inverter and installation, all for AUD$9000. If Tesla could be competitive at that price point, both in terms o

Seems to have some issues on the latest build of Chrome if the tab has focus. Really cool otherwise!

Same issue here on the latest version of Chrome. Seems our hug of death might have spread to the official data source too as I just get a blank page there as well.

Went through a few of the puzzles on Friday last week, it's pretty great for shaking out the cobwebs in languages you haven't used in a while. I did have some issues with their IDE in the latest Chrome build when I first started i

Just tried to search for a couple programs with all of them ending up redirecting me to a JSON error response ({"error": 1}). Loading up a show page appears to be quite slow as well. Haven't tried actually downloading any shows yet, though.

Did a little bit of Googling about the person behind the Kickstarter and came across this: http://scienceblogs.com/goodmath/2010/06/08/gravity-shmavity... Considering he couldn't (or wouldn't) even publish his results to arXiv makes me ve

I believe Imgur gets around it by flagging the NSFW content and then doesn't load the ad display code on it. Not sure how that gels with the AdSense guidelines however but if they're still using AdSense then it can't be that much of a probl

Care to link to any graphs that support this? Gold isn't that volatile, even though it may have swings of $50 up/down every week that's 3%, far below the volatility we're seeing in the current BitCoin market.

Indeed I agree that a changing price doesn't necessarily mean that the currency is useless as a medium for transporting wealth just that when the exchange rate is volatile it's much more attractive to see BitCoins as a speculative vehicle.

This is exactly the last thing BitCoin needs to be successful as a currency. After the speculative bubble last year it started to make some headway as the price remained relatively stable. Now in the past 2 weeks we've seen its value apprec

I've used Phalanger in one of my side projects and it works really well. The PHP library I was using ( http://code.google.com/p/phpsc2replay/ if you're interested) isn't simple but there were only a few minor modifications required to get

I did some rough calculations using some online tools to determine the distance between the X-37B and Tiangong-1 and as far as I can tell they're on opposite sides of the earth to each other. I'd also hazard a guess that the USA has far bet

The speculative bubble that burst was one of the best things to happen to BitCoin as it meant people stopped using it as a investment vehicle. Once people are done speculating with it then it can taken more seriously as a real currency rath

I found the application process itself to be quite enlightening since they asked many questions I just hadn't asked myself since I was too busy focusing on building something. Like you I know my chances are diminished as a single founder bu
