"Nothing I'd buy a new one for." Exactly my thought. I'll continue to use (and love) my Kindle Keyboard everyday. This makes me worry about Amazon's future in the ereader space. The Touch is gone, replaced with this for $139 sans offers. Th

I saw this and thought the exact same thing! Super excited to test it out upon release. The other nice thing about FF for devs is that Chrome is a little too robust sometimes. I've had some egregious errors in my markup and Chrome still man

Over 24 hours and haven't been arrested yet. Muhahaha. No one ever expects the Corinthians. The UK tweet thing was a crazy overreaction, yes. In all honesty though... wouldn't you be kinda surprised if law enforcement wasn't monitoring soci

Trying to legally define what is and is not a valid financial transaction coming in and out of Iran is a fool's errand. There's these things called commodity markets, and most everything is a commodity (more or less liquid) that can be boug

Perhaps not to you. Depends on where you stand on personal vs. political. Personal: how much do your impressions of a candidate's personal qualities (trustworthiness, courage, honor, etc.) determine your vote. Political: how much do your po

By the by, for those familiar with the pragmatic bookshelf, and were hoping to get it without DRM on that site, this was published by Addison Wesley, not pragmatic bookshelf. One wonders how much the authors' experience publishing with Addi

Hah. Very nice :) But yeah, it's hard to talk about vim without coming across as some kind of religious fanatic joining a new cult. Your link maybe does the best job I've ever seen. This is day 1: *monday* “eclipse sure is neat.” “b

Why in the world would any body spend hours(days?) hunting all these basic plugins which are must have for today's software development needs? These plugins are "must haves" if you are used to using an IDE. But they are not prereq

I hope so. The trick would be, after there is a cache of the Internet on Mars, to only have to send the changes, not the whole Internet again. Straight snapshots would probably be the only viable option though. And maybe make the policy, on

While we are dreaming, it would be better to have said flash drive picked up by a spacestation, refueled in orbit, and shot back to Mars. Hmm. If storage continues to improve as fast as it has been, once the space infrastructure is there, t

IANAL but you are right from the basic premise: “If a Law Isn't Public, It Isn't a Law”—Justice Stephen Breyer But I believe the distinction here is that just because the law is public, that doesn't mean that you can call up anyone who has

All Germans I have ever met have had excellent English. Certainly good enough to read short English commits with only the occasional dictionary reference required. The Eurobarometer report from 2006 says 56% of Germans speak English. But I

The success of NASA in putting landers/rovers on Mars is spectacular. Maybe not in absolute terms but... NASA = 7 successes everyone else = failure http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exploration_of_Mars#Timeline

There are easy trade-offs one can make between convenience and security. For example, identity verification on the phone with the last four digits of a credit card (Apple). But then there are policies and technology that increase BOTH conve

To expand on that, the for-profit Coursera seems like a great partner for universities at the moment, but in the future, if they become a force, a platform with millions of students, their profit interest and the universities' interests cou

Don't see this mentioned anywhere else yet: I was just going to bookmark this list itself, thinking it some random post by some random google plus person, but it looks like the mother website (class-central.com) is dedicated to just providi

It's very common in Portland at least. Any night of the week within any three mile radius there's a bar somewhere hosting trivia. It's just people who come to a normal bar once a week and play trivia. Think Jeopardy with teams and booze.

Very, very nice! Possible feature: would it be possible to generate unique individual links a la pastebin? Just a "generate link button" that stored all the current values of the variables and spit out a link like: http://danielribeiro.

I lol'ed ;) But in seriousness, an internet without ads is about way more than just not seeing banner ads. Penny Arcade puts it very well: "Not having ads would create a chain reaction that would lead to a bunch of other interesting stuff.

Yes, yes. Most important. From here on out, no more undersea cables. I won't have my data associating with riffraff of this sort. With such undignified origins, who knows what these cables might be capable of? Now underground cables are a

Actually, no. Marketing this as a game console at this moment makes no sense. Because there are no games. No game console maker has ever made real money on the hardware. If Google is just breaking even on the Nexus Tablet, even when it's so

I have nearly the exact opposite experience of music at parties. Invariably someone says, "You have to hear this." Whether its a new song or a magical YouTube clip of Jonathan Coulton live or LMFAO or whatever. Having a seamless user interf
