The road to innovation is paved with the detritus of millions of dead worthless gadgets. I, personally, have a closet full of technology that will never live again. Thus is the price of being an early adopter. I feel bad for the guy that he

Non-hackers who want to be hackers have to learn somewhere/somehow. Non-hackers that want to get information on technical subjects could do far worse than get their news here. Personally, I welcome anyone here as long as they understan

I used to play an old Windows game called Tracon that was very similar, that I would get totally lost playing way longer than I ever intended. Good job! I prefer my ATC simulators with a little more realism than the bsdgames one. I like act

I live near the site (AFP 67) where they were developing the nuclear powered aircraft. The site currently is a fenced-off area in the middle of a National Forest. There are still radiation detectors mounted here and there around the area mo

A good page with discussion of how to built a 10,000 year warning monument is at http://www.wipp.energy.gov/picsprog/articles/wipp%20exhibit%... - I remember seeing this link a while ago and it's creepily int

I remember playing this as Pandemic on one of those flash gaming sites at least 6 or 7 years ago, or longer. It's a little odd that the article complains about the "timing" of the game.

I'm not a "hater" because he steals from Whole Foods. That's his karma, not mine. I'm not a "hater" because he posted tips and tricks on how to shoplift from there. WF now has a checklist of things to fix.

Matias once threatened to kick my ass for messing with one of his UI widgets many years ago. It's a badge of honor I still wear to this day. :)

Unlock 'em and put them on Ebay. If you assume some risk of shipping them overseas to countries that don't have easy access to them, you'll get bidders who are willing to pay a premium for previous-generation devices. I sold

I don't actually have any use for this app at all (sorry) but if you ever make squishy foam promo items for your logo I will send you all of my money.

That currency is offensive to the increasingly large number of Americans who do not or can not "work", or choose not to participate in the soul-destroying crapitalistic exchange of slave labour for artifically-backed so-called &qu

It doesn't say it leaks transaction history, the text says it will tell the bank if you have a long history of purchases. I presume this purchase record is to validate the authenticity of the card (if you've made a lot of purchase

Creation dates are from the most recent domain creation record, and can be reset from a domain ownership transfer. I lost my precious domain creation date of September 1993 when I transfered my domain from the ISP who registered it /in

I spent the night in the hospital a few months ago for observation (there wasn't actually anything wrong with me other than a case of food poisoning) and my bill worked out to well over $1,000/hr.

He wasn't an WHO doctor. Grammar nitpicking aside I think "The Doctor Who Discovered..." would have cleared Tom Baker of any affiliation with the disease.

Grammar fail: The first time I read this headline I had to think which Doctor it was in 1976 that would have discovered Ebola, and came up with Tom Baker. :-)

Vector CRTs are all kinds of neat technology. I own a Tempest arcade cabinet, which is a color vector CRT, and it's such a huge difference from using regular raster CRTs.

For a work from home, remote location anywhere job, it's not bad. I assume a lot of the criticism of this salary comes from tech-centered locations like SV or Boston or the like. Get out of the bubble economies and $23k isn't a ba
