While I can't speak about the native Amazon files, I know that the kindlegen use html under the hood. It outputs (at least the versions I've used) a mobi file, which is just a zip container with some metadata. Inside, you'll find html fil

Wow! Killing DNS is a nasty way to take down the site. That could take hours to come back.

If you play around on *nix machines you'll want to know perl, at least how to read it and find translations for the things you can't read. You'll find it all over the place . . . http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/lisp.jpg

I find myself semi randomly selecting things on pages when I'm reading through something quickly or skimming through a page. If something catches my eye, I'll select it as or before I read it.

I can see a tagline like: <name>@goatse.cx - When you really want to say where your words are coming from . . . . I cringe at the thought of someone actually using an account there. . . .

The code editor could use some work. It was very awkward to use, especially in my phone's browser. Otherwise, MORE PUZZLES!

Umm, I'm in the U.S. Texas to be specific with a U.S. Phone number. Just sent an email to the connect email address with more details.

So, does this actually do anything? I've tried twice and not seen anything on the phone end . . . .

I really hated getting these calls. They're insidious! It's even more disturbing to note that there is something called "Cardholder Services" on your credit card bill as a number to call.

I used to use Netbeans when I was doing java development. It's one of those languages that have so much cruft/overhead you have to deal with that working outside some kind of ide can be very painful.

Interesting idea, I'm not an engineer so I can't really speak to that. It sounds like you'd be adding more points of failure and still have the potential of a submerged pump being and issue. Maybe something other than a piston?

That means that the fuel tanks will have to be there as well or you're going to need some specialized lines/equipment to prime the pumps. How much would a 3" cylinder of diesel fuel about ten foot tall weigh? (What ever it is that would b

It probably has nothing to do with this but there is another account https://twitter.com/googuns which claims to be associated with google . . . . In particular the page has a title "Google Notifications".

There's one feature that keeps windows out of the running for me that almost every X Windows manager has in some form or another. Multiple desktops (not multiple monitors). I know there was an XP powertoy that sort of did it for windows b

The whole "Schedule I" thing is probably a bad choice of words on the authors part. Perhaps something along the lines of "mind altering substances"? Anything with the potential to significantly impact a persons impressions of the world ar

I grew up around a situation similar to this. Thankfully, it hasn't turned out that badly. People with that kind and depth of mental illness have to have someone watching out for them. One little slip, one missed pill has the potential t

@JackMorgan and @dmiladinov, you two have eerily similar timing and views on this one :) Any chance you're co-workers and happen to know Steve?

I'm definitely going to keep an eye on this one ;) Looks a touch incomplete now but I'll bet it gets a good deal more useful as time goes on.
