Agreed that premium probably won't net you all that much. I would guesstimate that to make enough to cover your costs with ads, you'd end up putting more ads up than your aesthetic sense would prefer. I have no experience going this route,

Agreed with others that it's probably fake, but there I disagree that it's impossible. One of the slightly counter-intuitive things you learn when becoming a pilot is that you take off into the wind rather than with a tailwind. The wings

I looked over at my spam folder, found one of the emails that was filtered due to me marking a similar message spam, noticed that it was probably a mistake on my part and fixed it. Previously, there is just too much to pick through to find

I'm not sure that Google concentrates it's lobbying efforts to say anything one way or the other about Microsoft. It seems it's biggest efforts were in trying to prevent SOPA/PIPA.

I believe the ad was there already. Prior to this event, the first two links were to google.com/chrome if you counted ads, now one.

FWIW, this was the post that made me move my domains out from godaddy. Seems like it shows clearly that Godaddy's product is not high quality rather than just their company's stand on SOPA. I don't generally feel that I can sanely make all

For the average access point user, changing the SSID is probably the least difficult option. It also has the useful feature that it actually indicates the owner is the one taking the opt-out action, rather than someone else who can wardriv

Google is mapping publicly broadcast wifi access points to provide location services to augment GPS (faster locks for example) or when GPS is unavailable due to location or device. It's a very useful service - if you use a smartphone with

Nice, I came to the comments to see if someone knew how to calculate this. Related question. If there are exactly 2N people who vote in a binary election (ie: for presidential candidates) and they have an even 50/50% chance of voting eithe

I actually am currently in the process of donation. I had been scheduled but the patient became too sick and I'm basically in a holding pattern at this point. I can confirm that the process for me involved no surgery or anesthesia and would

If I treat the file as one big integer and each pass through my compression simply decrements by one, eventually ill achieve one bit or zero bits depending on how you look at it. Uncompressing simply requires knowing how many compression st

For android, I've been using Rainy Days: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.neenbedankt.rainyd... It only offers the live radar map animation, based on your GPS location, but that's often pretty good for eyeballing when the rain is

I think this is correct. However, if you change (c) to 0% as some of the comments have suggested, it gets more interesting.

Isn't this the same data stream that Microsoft is grabbing via most IE users? It's a big privacy violation, but not a major advantage for amazon.

The article touches on this briefly and argues that for home usage, it's usually not too correlated with the economy. "Even when the economy is stagnant, people still watch TV and keep their ice cream cold." Oil prices are affected by non-

The Monterey Aquarium is fantastic, but if you can get down there and do only one thing, just keep going south on Hwy 1. Aquariums are everywhere. Big Sur and the CA coast is pretty unique in the US.

In the screen shot in this article, you see some text with a link "Search instead for 'College or Uncollege?' above the results which takes you to the results for the original query. It's possible that the author didn't notice this though.

Storing the mailer isn't a big problem. When I buy a new bulb, I'll get a new mailer. I toss the first round. I don't disagree with you on the energy cost though.

I work on Google Search. I don't see my job as ultimately selling ads. If you look at things that way, you might as well take the argument to it's extreme. Adwords doesn't actually make Google money, the payment processing system does. A
