I wonder if they make remote controlled ones.

Are there indications that this is a wider spread problem beyond jacquesmattheij.com or the two individuals that have already been caught doing it with his site? One is an anomaly, two independent occurrences is a trend?

The argument against bots would be that it makes it more difficult to go through the 'new' section and find quality posts to up vote if everyone did this. In fact, I seem to recall Digg is going to/already has pulled back it's feature where

Seems to not be iPad Mobile Safari compatible. In a singleplayer match, says it's white's turn, but I can't move pieces (presumably I need to be able to drag them), and the site doesn't warn m that I don't have a compatible browser.

Correct. There's no Mac/PC client that emulates a local drive/folder (yet). Just an Air MP3 uploadeder app and a web based file upload for other types of files. I wonder if you could isolate the S3 bucket used and use existing S3 clients. O

That's at least $40 million you have to make back in subscriptions until you're out of the red.

Waiting in line for half a day for something is a pretty low barrier of entry to measure 'crazy' by.

Yep. I was thinking specifically of a lonelysandwich style video like Adam did for Everdyday. Or even one of those animated paper ones that Google used to do. Have your web site evangelize your product better at launch, for the users benefi

For the amount of money they got, they really could have made a fancy video better explaining what its use case is. Adam Lisagor needs to eat too, you know.

Never? I would be cautious about issuing a challenge like that.

Marketplace does suggest it's an opportunity for other people to sell their goods. Perhaps it hints at participation from outside experts not a part of Envy Labs that will become more apparent in later courses? The upcoming jQuery one seems

The Envy Labs folks behind it have been highly active in the Rails/screencasting community for a while now, producing a wealth of free content. It doesn't seem in their nature to astroturf. The site is fresh and unique in its teaching appro

How are they going to identify if the referring site is a blog? Does any personal blog count? What if it's self hosted?

One thing to keep in mind here: The Kindle only let's you lend each book you own once, mitigating the potential damage done. The site also prominently featured the option to buy the book before and after the lend.

Sometimes you just build a project because it's fun, you can and you're able to launch it quickly. It's also an opportunity to pick up some skills and experience and build up a reputation. I don't think Lendle set out to be a long term, ful

I have to agree with Danil. I like the page turning behavior in iBooks better, but not enough to crack my books.

Now that I look at the chart again, I'm a little confused. It says ~3.5 micro sievert 'extra dose from one day in average town near the Fukushima plant as of March 17th, varies quite a bit' in the blue squares, but also 'one day dose (~3.6

I agree that this points to deeply rooted a deeply rooted mindset and behavioral issues. At the same time though, this is an opportunity to do the right thing and attempt to show the guy that this is a fundamental and not compartmentalized

Too subtle. Easy for him to think it's fine to treat a waitress that way and that he can still function with 'real people'. He needed to be reminded that this is a sign of a fundamental character flaw. Not to rub it in, but on the chance th

I just hope they reminded the VC exactly why they were leaving, so he had a chance to think about his attitude.

Not to mention that the fact he probably gets more email than others is because his very public personality makes him more desirable for other people to contact him in the first place.

I skimmed and skipped to the end to see if you were a) buying Twitter or b) being bought by Twitter ;) But it's great to see people doing more lengthy writeup for those willing to wok their way through them.

Always take the stairs, and feel good about the fact that you're just a little bit less lazy than the people taking the escalator.

Anecdotally, it feels like Yahoo Answers has been more useful for me for non technical topics. Usually, when I'm googling for the name of a song from a commercial or trailer, I'll find a Yahoo Answers page with the info.

My understanding is that the CVV2 is printed on the back of the card for phone and online orders and the CVV1 encoded on the strip for in person orders when the card is swiped. I'm not sure what the security rationale is for 2 distinct code

No, but that assumes I visit every link. I only end up clicking on 10-20% of them. I suppose I could simply find a browser extension t visit all the links on the site, automatically, but that doesn't seem right if I'm not going to look at t

My biggest beef with HN (apart from the amount of cool articles on it) isn't the look and feel of the site, it's the inability to distinguish old from new content. I know, I could probably just subscribe to the RSS feed and do this in a fee

Presumably, encryption would add hardware costs to a device that they're giving away tens of thousands off for free, and only provide the illusion of additional security on top of there existing security measures once it hits the iOS client
