This article is very misleading, he doesn't print the money himself, that's all kinds of illegal. He buys the sheets (linked in comments) and has a printer (the occupation, not the device) perforate them and gum them into tear off pads. I k

Larger neodymium magnets are indeed quite capable of pinching or crushing a finger. The magnets we're talking about, while quite strong for their comparative size, are not THAT strong. I don't even think they're strong enough to attract one

I would jettison every piece of computing hardware I own right now and switch to the first device that would let me add (and search) tags in file metadata.

I had a coworker once lament the use of 0xDEADBEEF because he was a vegetarian. I'm bothered by what lowest common non-offensive denominator we will eventually have to reach. Is 0xCAFEBABE not only offensive to women but is it also offensiv

I compliment you on your enthusiasm, wish you success in bringing Oracle better reputation in the Linux community, and respectfully submit that I am distrustful of Oracle based on past behavior - specific to my experiences, not altruistical

wdaher, I don't question for a moment your intent and your altruism for this project, and please don't take my criticism of Oracle as anything personal. I agree with you that corporations are not inherently evil. However, I am of the opinio

I believe this has single-handedly solved all of my girlfriend's thesis-writing motivational issues. Please, take all of my money!

I swore off most of Google about 6 months ago or so. Contrary to apparently popular opinion, there's a whole big Internet out there that isn't part of Google. I still use Search at work, solely because the project I'm currently working on (

As the boss, finding "fun" in "public shaming" is a really, really, bad idea. It may be fun to you, but to the person being shamed, it's not any fun when it's coming from a superior. The day my management puts a "person to blame" field in t

Like I said, not really trying to stir that discussion. I didn't say it wasn't common sense, but the jist of several blog posts I've seen today all seem to imply the same thing as the one here - that the popularity of Chrome for iOS is some

I've been reminding folks here for a month. Our NTP servers are locked and loaded. I'm tempted to hang a webcam in front of one of them and screencap 23:59:60 for the people here who are still confuzzled over the whole concept.

It seems odd to me that so many blogs are commenting that Chrome being the #1 iOS download today is some kind of global indication of the need to open iOS to Android-like levels of user customization. Not wanting nor willing to get into the

So the suggested trick of adding a site-specific token to a common secure password strikes me as kind of pointless. Admittedly, I did this myself for a short time until it struck me that it was no more secure than a common password in the f

I don't have cable/satellite. The minimum monthly cost to obtain HBO for me is about $45/month for basic cable, HBO, and a DVR option. My GF is completely addicted to Game of Thrones, but she openly admits she will not pay $540/year for bas

Do heed the warnings that it's not really all that Disneyland. PA's a beautiful city, but its notoriety as a tech giant is largely shrouded by its quaint and quiet suburbanness. My trips to the area have been very intensely business related

Rage level depends on what you're paying for. I have a server at Rackspace, it's my job to ensure backups, not theirs. That's the service level I pay for. They offer a backup service through Cloud Files that puts your backup on a different

I don't have an invite to Lift, but a lot of developers use TestFlight as a way to install applications over the web to testers. You sign up with TestFlight through a link the developer sends you, and you install a profile that lets your de

Censorship on the Internet is more of a core network issue - if so-and-so access point filters your connection, you're really not being "censored" as long as there's some other way for you to get unfiltered content through reasonable means.

Leaving hooks to testflight in your app isn't particularly nefarious behavior. Bad form, no doubt, but nothing overly nefarious. The article seems to imply the author has no idea what testflightapp is, and a simple google search would expla

For me, if I got a "reward" for funding a project on Kickstarter and then found out the project itself was in dire straits because the rewards were unexpectedly more expensive, I'd be pretty tweaked at you. if I fund a kickstarter project,

I bought it, I'm a flight sim fan and loved all the user reviews comparing it favorably to X-Plane (which isn't bad). I'll tinker around with it a bit later when I'm not up to my eyeballs at work, but on first glance it looks pretty sweet!

Aww, heartbreaker! All the codes are used. You'll just have to take my money then. I have a WP7 phone, but I havent shopped a lot of apps for it. I'll have to check it out, I'd love to see a comparison. I'm a bit of a WP7 developer and woul
