Hehe, FPS was actually the first thing I remember thinking when I used a Graphire– I remember wishing there was some zero latency Cintiq type thing so that Counter Strike could become digital Whack-a-Mole. I was actually looking for a Bambo

They've been around, but I don't know of anyone who took them seriously back then (as a designer). My memory was that the driver was really spotty (the current one seems to work pretty well) and the pens broke very quickly. At the time the

Funny! Just today I gave my girlfriend a monoprice tablet after seeing the review by this guy. I'm writing this message with it– it's awesome! Better than any of the Wacoms live used either at school or work, and with a pretty hackable (tho

If only they'd just put a wavy black bar with the text "aaargh, the pirate version be better anyway." Maybe a Mutiny! button that takes you to their site.

It's Good Stuff for any of the millions of entirely non-technical site admins who managed to follow the instructions but otherwise keep their hands off the stack. Or if you have clients (esp. sole proprietors) who have the final word despit

I would like downloading everything to zip to be a pro feature, and a reminder that the feature exists in an email maybe one week prior to expiration. If customers leave, let them leave happily. They'll be much more likely to come back when

That's what I thought too, but when I tried to grab them with existing apps the only way I could get it to work was by adding everything to a group and then searching for that. Can't remember if it was FlickrDown that finally worked or some

I've always had issues with certain details on Flickr (perhaps since the Yahoo acquisition; I honestly can't remember what was just carried over) such as the inability to download all your photos at once for backup, lockout of your own pho

I wonder which pays better, being a fall guy for News Corp or the NSA... either way, I'm sure it'll just mean one less salary to turn over at the end of the year.

It's a silly idea but at the same time not totally unrealistic if you assume that one, it's not something we could necessarily start today, two, it isn't a task that could be completed in any 'worthwhile' timeframe, and three, that the ra

Here's to hoping that Lego pivots into a foundation for educational, manufacturing, structural, (etc)... research while investing in 3d printing and bringing the tech up to and beyond their current spec. Optimism!

I see plenty of poor ones, but you could attribute at least half of those cases to all the 70s and 80s prog/psych/metal I've got now.

Unrelated, but there's something at least mildly amusing about "shooting a tweet". With email it was just a metaphor for sending a message quickly/lightly. Shooting a tweet makes me think of picking off tiny birds (tweets) a la skeet shooti

I admit to a serious case of greener-grass syndrome, but it seems to me that the environment at MIT would do quite a bit to lower stress. In my experience, the primary source of stress when doing what interests you is dealing with people wh

I'm about to turn 21, but I've been about the same height and weight since I was 11 years old. Two years ago I tried a new pair of sneakers, otherwise most of the clothing I own are gifts from the holidays (a sweater, slacks, work boots). T

I recently switched to FF to start using Pentadactyl. In the process I ended up installing a few things here and there to make things feel just a tad more private, including Adblock Plus. I made a point to disable it on a number of sites I

Not just Europe– I had a test unit from way back for when they were entering the US, though they never got really big (I do see them occasionally). In Japan I see them everywhere .

This was just the state of the web a little less than ten years ago as well. One of my first businesses as a 12-year-old was running a couple of shared servers and teaching others how to do it as well. The little-big-leagues was actually ge

Totally agree with the visual indexing thing. I only just started reading a few technical ebooks since I didn't want to be lugging them all over the place– I never would've guessed how annoying the experience would be. For now I've gone ent

Unfortunate that this thread will probably dissolve beforehand, but coincidentally there's an IAmA on Reddit by an assoc. dean of admissions at Colgate about to start: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/13vel5/im_karen_gianni...

Same. When I'm coding I tend to lean in and have multiple things going on at once, so lots of small type is fine. Browsing is my opportunity to sit back and rest a little, and double tap is my preferred method as I can completely ignore the

The number at the bottom isn't updating at all (stuck at 0). Edit: refreshing twice brought it back– odd. I have to say though, it's quite a bit of fun. I'm not slow and I can already feel the push, I'm really glad you showed this :)

I disagree with #1 in the general case. When you're just starting out it is important to type accurately so that your fingers get the initial feel for reaching from wherever they're supposed to be, but after that you need to be careful not

Reporting the same. Chrome and Safari are fine, FF lags significantly.

I completely agree. I consider myself lucky that I don't rely on Python for any production code, so I can do all the work that I want in Python 3 despite most resources being focused on 2.X. I'm considering switching back to Django for cert
