   In case people aren't yet sick of me plugging the ambient noise generator I built, here are some sites that block out background noise as a supplement to a good pair of headphones for distraction-free work: http://coffitivit

   It's implied that the participants were told in advance there were 60,000 total predicted fatalities. Regardless, the programs are not equivalent. A: 100% chance of 20,000 saved, 100% chance of 40,000 dead B: 33% chance of 60,0

   I got cold sweats reading that story. It's a shame you had to pay the price for the abysmal operating practices of the company.

   In chrome, I right clicked on the body text and hit "inspect element". That brings up element inspector with the relevant element highlighted. The highlighted div had the id "comments". Hovering over that element in the

   A transparent portion of the #comments div is covering the body text and sidebar. If you change #comments position from relative to initial, things work as expected. I think the problem is that the sidebar is floated and the float isn'

    In reference to point 2, in the UK you can get a debit card with no ID. For example, the IDT Prime card [1] . It can be bought and reloaded with cash at a large portion of convenience stores and post offices. The terms and conditions [2] st

    I just noticed your profile mentions Coffitivity's revenue. What's the revenue model, if you don't mind my asking?

    The email Namecheap sends out is very shady looking. I had to google around quite a bit before concluding it was genuine. The verification link leads to the domain raa.name-services.com and is not delivered over https. It looks exactly like

    I'd be very interested to know if DO make a positive margin on their $5 droplets. I feel like I push a fair amount of data through mine, and plan to push more in the future using a bunch of $5 droplets and round-robin DNS. I'd fee

    Is there a reason that, when using the Windows github client, you have to open the shell in order to get error messages? It would be very convenient if the client could display them natively.

    Thanks, I feel the same way and hope it's OK. It's just that, when it comes to marketing, even when I'm doing something I believe intellectually and ethically is OK, it sometimes gives me the heebie-jeebies. I made a post in

    I confess I've been trying a similar kind of thing attempting to promote a website of mine. I find people who've written about competitors and email them inviting them to try my site and asking for their thoughts. Is this scummy o

    Would you like to elaborate? The only data-leak story I have heard about was that until recently, "scrub disk with 0s" was unchecked by default when a droplet was destroyed. Now that option is checked by default. What other concer

    I would be interested in seeing how the sweepstakes compared with what the candle company was originally planning for a Valentine's Day promotion. Presumably the opportunity cost of running this kind of promotion is greater than zero.
