Why not give me a nice big mbox file with all my emails in it as well? That's honestly the main thing that Google has that I care about preserving.

The latest builds of Firefox and Chrome both work fine on XP, so they could theoretically force users to upgrade away from IE altogether.

Your post highlights the core of the problem. Ultimately, productivity solutions have to include a recognition that technology can only enhance your self-control; it can't replace it. I, like you, have spent days trying to optimize my work

Unfortunately, the range of a single computer is very limited, and an ad-hoc wifi network requires that all computers be in range of one another. What you would really need to do is create a mesh network, where each host relays messages to

Give it time. At some point in the not so distant future, we could all be using smartphones that just have data plans. Then we'll get to see if SMS sticks around.

If the OS is intelligent, the memory doesn't get overwritten until it is needed. Even if an app is completely closed and its process is killed, doesn't it's image still hang around in memory for the next time it is run?

I'm going to nitpick a little bit about the Arduino. Just to be clear, I won an Arduino and love it, but the article misrepresents it a little bit. It states that the Arduino is a microcontroller. This is false. From the Arduino website: &#

I have a hard time taking this too seriously because CVS ranked as the third best revision control system above bazaar and mercurial.

It's not a perfect solution, but it certainly beats passing around big hostfiles mapping hosts to addresses.

The $999 model seems to come equipped with a 1.4 Ghz Core 2 Duo. Any ideas why they didn't use the newer i series CPUs? Don't they have better performance per watt?

Some of the Windows information on Git from this article is outdated. I use TortoiseGit on Windows regularly. It handles all the common cases for me very well. For the uncommon cases, it comes packaged with Bash for Windows, so I can use Gi

Those CAPTCHAs really aren't that bad. If I understand how ReCAPTCHA works, you only need to get one of the words correct.

I'm not really sure what I would use this for. It's nice to have DNS for a box at home, but those aren't usually on a static IP. If my IP is dynamic, I'd probably go with a service like DynDNS which keeps my DNS record updated as the IP add

It's not really a pity at all. It will be more work for them, but it's a win for us as long as they pass their code to make it work back upstream.

I'm sure the guys working on Microsoft hardware are a brilliant bunch. I have no doubt that they possess the ability to come up with this type of innovation. The part that amazes me is that with all the other engineers that have worked hard

This is precisely the type of content that shouldn't be here on HN. Sure, it's funny, but it doesn't help to facilitate intelligent discussion or add value other than humor.

Has anybody tried out the comments plugin? It seems to do almost the same thing as disqus, except it is tied more directly to Facebook, which could be a big win.

Why can't the traffic just be passively captured from the same wifi network that you computer is connected to? Why is the network bridge needed?

So they want web developers to create an opt-out option on each web site? That's completely redundant. The people who don't care are going to ignore the option (or click ok on the popups if it comes to that), and the people who do care prob

This list was a bit of a let down. I'm 21 right now, and I definitely had over half of this list done before my 20th birthday. It's not so much a list of things that geeks must do as much as a list of things that people with geeky personali
