This is pretty brilliant. I haven't looked at the code yet, but I wonder how hard it would be to pull the Flash out and do it all in HTML 5 and JS? Browser support for audio is improved recently.

It is actually really difficult to find out how much stuff costs at a hospital. That is one of my main complaints about the healthcare system. It is wasteful because the hospital environment makes you forget that things cost money, and that

A NDA is a much different beast than a non-compete clause. I have signed NDAs to work on school projects before, but that did not really affect anything I did outside of the class project. I don't think an NDA would close off any job opport

This is the book used for an Algorithms Analysis class at my university (Brigham Young University), and I have been very impressed so far with it. The fact that it is available for free is a great plus as well.

That idea is the first one I have seen that would justify the cost of a tablet to me. Not just a toy or a third or .*th computer, but a device to limit your distraction. I like that a lot.

I have zero evidence to support this hypothesis, but it seems like power corrupts most the people who seek it the most. Some people do better with power than others. Also, I am not sure what you are trying to say about sex in marriage. It s

Requirements increasing will only mean they have to upgrade their computers in a data center somewhere, not that the ping between the server and you needs to get faster. The delay is noticeable, but games requiring more processing power wil

Competing with Steam is more a relationship challenge than a technical one, and of all companies GameStop is well placed with those existing relationships. I think the PC gaming market's relationship with GameStop can be described as "dis

That was a great way to make me google MemSQL. Are you guys affiliated with the course at all, or just being helpful and doing marketing at the same time?

Excuse my ignorance, but don't you have the same behavior with `require` in Ruby? How are the behaviors of Ruby's `require` and PHP's `include_once` different?

That sounds like it could be useful to the PHP community. Are there plans to open source it?

You sent me my password in the confirmation email in plain text. Please fix this security hole ASAP by hashing the passwords. Edit: The content looks great. Sorry, didn't mean to sound snarky, but that is a scary first impression of the sit

A greasemonkey script would do it pretty easily. That is the traditional HN solution, it seems.

One slight UX issue: The "Next" buttons seem like they have two different controls on them. I wasn't sure if clicking the arrow would do something different than clicking the text of the button. I think it would be more clear without the ex

I work in a bioinformatics/proteomics lab that does all open-source work. I am sure we are not alone. https://github.com/princelab is where our code lives. OpenWetWare is a wiki for biology labs that several bioinformatics people use as w

I have some anecdotal evidence on the contrary. My wife is a very casual computer user, but uses two-finger scroll all the time. My sister-in-law is very similar - not a computer person, but has an Apple laptop and uses two-finger scroll. A

Bravemule ( http://www.bravemule.com/matulremrit/ ) is the best Dwarf Fortress-related writeup I have ever read. It is fantastically illustrated, and captures the black humor and horror of Dwarf Fortress better than anything else I have rea

That would be great. It seems like Google has the brainpower to figure out a way to use up and down votes to target ads better as well. I would love to see ads based on things that I am actually interested in.

I thought this quote by the DOJ was pretty ridiculous: Public interests will be harmed absent requiring defendants to make available unencrypted contents in circumstances like these. Failing to compel Ms. Fricosu amounts to a concession to

These look great. I have been looking for more Kahn-style videos that were more advanced, but still not from an actual class like the MIT OCW stuff.

I find it even stranger that they don't simply raise the price of the ticket and hide the cost of the fee that way. If a ticket is $25 and then it has a $5 fee I would be upset, but I wouldn't notice if it was just a $30 ticket.

Husky and HD appeal to the more casual audience. Their casts are more for entertainment, and they don't do too much in-depth analysis. Artosis, Day9 and Tasteless among others are pretty friendly for the average viewer, but they are definit

The author describes it as an "asset" manager, but the readme shows only javascript frameworks being used. This looks more like a javascript package manager. Now if someone can integrate this into a module system that can be used within Jav
