Yeah, but if Google started offering free high-speed WiFi then someone would make a "DIY Android Hub" which had a better antenna, better cooling, and possibly even ethernet ports.

It would be neat if they offered a discount for them being wireless access points accessible to other Google Fiber customers. I'm not sure about the Android part, just because it would be almost impossible to prevent someone from runni

One thing you could try would be to set aside a day of each week to focus on learning as much as you can about one of the topics each day. Then set aside any other free-time to create a couple simple project ideas and then by the 3rd week s

Is it even possible to transmit all of the tapped data? It's possible to transmit part of it with a buoy and a satellite connection or using UHF transmitters but if the data is encrypted it seems like it would be impossible to determin

Yes, but for reasons not mentioned in the article. They've had major advancements in robot technology and they're simply replacing ground troops with robots and drones. Also advancements in efficiency and automation allow smaller

The lagginess of the webcam leads me to believe that it's real, also I saw a couple of fish stop and eat algae off of a rock. A 3D simulation (which the company does do) would hopefully have better performance. Is it safe to feed fish

That's basically what they are doing. If someone asks a question on the Portuguese then it would be easy for an English and Portuguese speaker to search the English site for the answer and then post to the Portuguese site and earn thei

I think this exists in the standard Dev Tools / inspector. Edit a CSS file in the Sources tab of the Dev Tools then right click and click Local Modifications. Also right click on the file (in the whitespace) and click Save. Then click

Yeah, that's a good idea. I'd like to eventually import all the bookmarks into some kind of bookmark manager once I figure out the best way to handle it. The XML files that Chrome creates when you export them are a very nice stora

I don't think I have any ugly code but I have built insecure apps and sites before. I've asked myself "what if someone does X, could they steal data?" numerous times after a project is out of my hands. Similar question:

Haha, you should see my bookmarks... no less than 10,000 right now (probably more) and I export and clean them every 6 months. The thing is they are all quality sites or pages and interesting information that I would like to read or will ne

This piece is close: http://www.amazonsupply.com/dp/B003JU1FBG/ref=sp_dp_g2c_asin 6.5 inch outer, 5.5 inner, 12 inches tall (twice what the video shows) for only $700. So I'd say $300 would be a good estimate

How much more expensive would it have been to build this underground (with an access door somewhere) and make the above area a park or open land? Are underground structures partially avoided because of the potential for them to collapse if

Many home burglaries are in effort to steal guns. Let's assume that most of those criminals are not the brightest people in the world, let's say half don't bother removing the GPS, those low-hanging fruit are quickly arrested

The problem is that high-capacity magazines can be extremely dangerous if actually used in a crime. A prime example of this is the North Hollywood shootout where the gunmen had several 75 and 100 round drum magazines. http://en.w

Why would anyone be against that? Both of those things seem perfectly reasonable. I'm sure there would be a provision for a type of license that would allow a larger magazine if you had a valid reason and very clean record. If you live
