If that's what you want, look up Elgg. What I hope someone creates, is something like Elgg but where the concept of public and private keys is used somehow, so that whoever controls the server where it's hosted doesn't have a

From what I know, for the 2012 Nexus 7 at least, there are lots of custom ROMs, some of them without Google Apps. There are even alternative operating systems like Ubuntu Touch. I don't know if other emerging mobile OS such as Firefox

Many of these are just placeholder pages, and another big part of them are just redirections to websites on longer domain names. For example, wa.io redirects to WolframAlpha. It would be interesting to see the page title along each URL, so

They have an API: http://isbndb.com/api/v1/docs/intro According to that API intro page, their databases contain over 1.8 million entries for books alone, so the download would be rather big I think.

I have been using this for a while on my servers. For some months, I had Pingdom and Uptime Robot monitor the same server. According to my experience, the latter has less false positives - with Pingdom, it sometimes looked as if it was moni

It does (I think), but even if it doesn't, it uses the file extension to determine it. However, EXE files are free to set their own icon. In this case, the icon of the EXE was a "PDF" icon. The silly bit is the fact that the

Depends on the country. But really, why do you need to know? Just set a high limit, like 20 or 30 digits.

The initiative is honorable, but I think this was a really bad choice of website to host the pledge. The copyright message on the footer is from last year, which may explain why many things seem broken or unfinished, as well as the errors o

Regarding the floppy disk icon, the post says: "That’s holding onto the past; and providing a lack of recognition for young people, who will literally have no idea what one is." I don't see what's the problem with "

Like others, I was having trouble focusing on the text of the article. ViewText.org is down and I don't have any browser plugins for increasing readability, so this made it a bit better for me: http://google.com/gwt&#x2

"Emulator" is not the word - it should have been "simulator". From an emulator I expect the ability to run all the usual Linux commands, or at least all the docker commands (this can be already done, maybe even just with

I too thought about OSX and Darwin when I saw this. Except that before, with Android, you had an open userland system on an open kernel. Now you have a huge binary blob that can do everything without control, on top of a open userland with

I think it is different, yes, and I posted a long comment on his blog about how the two really aren't comparable. I think it would still be nice to see a phone that "puts social values first" and simultaneously has the same g

Googling the hardware name from /proc/cpuinfo, "KeyASIC Ka2000 EVM", I found out that this isn't the first person to hack into these half-SD-half-WiFi cards: http://colas.sebastien.free.fr/index.php&

I own a phone powered by a Mediatek SoC, where the IMEI is easily changed on the "engineer mode" - and from what I remember, you don't even need to have root rights to do it, only access to a hidden Android activity. Not enti

That could be said in the time of CPU, GPU or FPGA mining, but since these ASICs do nothing but Bitcoin mining, I think computing power is only wasted when they aren't running. In other words, I don't think they qualify as "c

Not to mention, that for many of these destructive actions adding a undo function often incurs in higher storage costs. For example, in the case of deleting information, the easiest way to provide an undo function is to never really delete
