Thanks, fixed that. I’ve never had a strong opinion on suing over inaccessible sites since I’ve never run into a public site I’ve had to use that was completely inaccessible. The issues I’ve had with accessibility have been more with softwa

I’m a totally blind individual who graduated high school in the United States in 2004. I was fortunate that I grew up just as assistive technology was becoming widely available and fairly easy to use. In 1955 a translator would have to spen

As a blind developer I'd estimate that 90% of sites are accessible. I consider something accessible if I can use it even if it isn't intuitive. I could see how other people with disabilities who aren’t as comfortable with assistiv

Is there any plans on making this tool accessible? I'm a screen reader user and the sliders don't appear to work with Firefox and Jaws.

I use Tiny Tiny RSS and it works well enough with the web interface on my desktop. Although it's self hosted I have no problem using a $2.5 per month vps with 256 mb of ram to host it. For mobile access I use YATTRSSC which is a decent tt-r

I’m not a parent and this article may be 20/20 hind sight so parents please correct me if I’m completely off base. Allowing your child to drop out of high school is a poor choice assuming they are capable of finishing it. I could maybe see

I'm a big fan of Fossil. It's dead simple to set up if your already running your own server and has an integrated wiki. Depending on your needs this could be a good option. http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/index.wik...

Could the self-driving tech be the automotive version of Android? Even if Google stripped out personally identifiable data the sheer amount of data they could get for their maps would have to be worth a lot of money. Whether it’s enough to

Is it possible to easily buy fractions of a bitcoin on mtgox? I think I'd rather go through the trouble of getting a verified account then deal with such an insane markup.

As a blind person 100 years ago I would have been pushed into being a piano tuner. This is not something I want to do. Maybe rather than having all autistic people be told technology is a great choice for them some effort should be made to

The first thing I thought when I looked at this was that with CyanogenMod this could be a great secondary phone I could use to keep track of Android accessibility as well as learn android programming. Then I looked at the Android 4.2 hardwa

As someone who’s blind and who has a friend that was recently paralyzed I have no problem with the ban and have nothing but contempt for this person. I’ve been fortunate that I have never needed to fundraise to obtain assistive technology.

As a blind individual the iPhone with epub has been a great improvement for me when it comes to reading. I can now get new books as soon as there released instead of waiting for them to be available in audio format, or looking for pirated v

I wonder how much work it would take to port cpuminer to this platform for use in mining bitcoins and litecoins. Probably not worth it for bitcoins with the new FPGA hardware but could be interesting for litecoin depending on the memory acc

On a laptop screen size doesn't matter. In College when living space was limited I used a 13 inch 9 pound laptop that I'd lug everywhere since I needed the portability and performance. I then switched to a desktop with 6 cores and 8 gigs of
