This is not the reality I live in. Everyone has a microwave, and for people in student halls or less affluent accomodation, it's sometimes the only available way to cook. For many (in the UK) 'ready-meals', most of which are

The microwave is a genius move. The key thing is that it's a really cheap microwave. Most people who need a microwave don't want or need anything special, and will buy the cheapest decent-looking one, and this is where the Amazon

There are plenty of battery cases for most mainstream phones that allow you to build a device such as this.

Acting childishly will just make everyone's day worse: Apple's, customers (and children) who see the image's, and ultimately yours too, when all that shit lands on your doorstep. Asserting your rights while finding a way forw

This isn't linking, this is hotlinking : taking unattributed images. If you had some nice images on your site that I'd put on mine, presenting them as my own, while still using your bandwidth to serve them to my users how would y

I agree, I'm not saying they should engage in litigation, just that talking to a lawyer to understand exactly where the law stands on such behavior is probably going to be useful when it comes to talking to Apple, particularly if they

I don't see why putting your url on your own content is 'playing dirty', but displaying someone's stuff without telling them you're doing it or even attributing it sure is.

by fredley 8y ago
It's cool that Apple's using your stuff, it's not cool they're not giving you attribution. I'd add a JGuitar url and copyright notice to all your images, so that this is displayed in Apple's results, and also c

Pedestrianisation works well in European cities, especially small ones. It's quite common here in the UK, often there are strict time limits on when delivieries can be made, e.g. 6-8am when barriers are open to let vehicles in and out.

So many of these scroll animation fuckery sites are made so that they only work with a trackpad, and even then probably only a mac trackpad (where flicking etc. work well). Using a site like this with a mousewheel is near impossible.

Totally agree with you. It seems so counterintuitive that when you're struggling to sleep you may need less time in bed, but it really helps in the long run.

The article is very long-winded. TLDR: CBT and observing a few physical parameters that affect your sleep (temperature, light, sound), as well as getting the right amount of sleep (not too much, not too little) will sort out most people. Fo

The buses in London, for the most part, work very well. Every bus is tracked with GPS. If too wide a gap opens up between one bus and the next, the earlier bus will sometimes wait for a minute or so to even out the service. This means you a

I want Chromebooks to dominate the consumer market, to be honest. Hopefully that will push Windows towards dropping bloated consumer-focussed features in lieu of a leaner OS aimed more squarely at the professional market. Currently installi

Can't see the page, but that there is not a USB C variant is bonkers. All Google engineers I know use mac devices.

Henry owner here: totally agree. Also, unlike a fancy Dyson, it's designed to be bashed around, yanked around and generally abused. It's the Nokia 3310 of vacuums. And if a part breaks, because they're used commercially it&#x

What's funny is that the map only covers London, as in the City of London, not the City of Westminster, which is where the Tudor monarchs themselves would have been!

Man I got off easy. I had an allergic reaction to Cipro, when I was in a state that I could barely move. It's been 3 years now and I've had nothing serious happen since then. I'm pretty scared though.

Really great idea. In the awkward spaces city-dwellers like myself have to contend with, finding a desk that uses space well is a massive pain. For my current desk I ended up ordering countertop and building it myself. If this had been arou

This totally depends on what you're doing. Sometimes you should be using the bazooka, sometimes not. Building a large government system, or something internal for a large company that will have heavy and pretty-well-quantified usage, a
