Back when I got a standing desk two years ago, it took me about two weeks to adjust, standing about 5 hr a day. It was mostly my feet that started to hurt back then, and I don't have a particularly strong back or good posture. Nowadays

Not everyone lives in the USA ;) I don't know, but it could very well be that there are precedents in their home country Argentina supporting the 'legal' conclusion.

It had recent movies when they first released the website: https://github.com/popcorn-time/popcorn-time.github.io/commi... Someone must've suggested it would probably be better to not blatantly promote piracy

The reality is, spambots will get through it eventually no matter what, and you will only end up increasingly inconveniencing your visitors. (How pissed would you be if you copied an email address somewhere and it appeared in reverse?) With

I've been using it for a couple of months now. (enhanced account), mostly as an implementation detail. Setting it up and migrating is simple, their web interface is nice, and the few questions I had were adequately and quickly answered

Is this in general how reporting on 'celebrity opinions' is done in the USA? Apart from the one or two lines that directly quote Matt Damon, the rest of the article is an abomination. I do however hope this reaches more people, th

A 'fun' bit of weasel-wording by the chairman of the House intelligence committee: "He's lying. It's impossible for him to do what he was saying he could do." They seem to be denying it, but all they're

I remember doing a test in high school science class where we poured coke through Norit (activated carbon) a couple of times which would result in the colourants binding to the Norit and the coke become colourless (while still being safe to

The NRC is actually one of the top-rated newspapers in the netherlands, quite similar to the Guardian and far from a "tabloid". If this were published in the "Telegraaf", you'd have a valid point. Edit: Seems the st

Does anyone know of more such 'hidden gems'? I really want a self-hosted website uptime (http status code) checker but I can't find one.

Selling the remaining list is quite a smart idea. it obviously has value even though it would be relatively simple to figure out the remaining free domains on your own.

Jan Paul showed me this at Fronteers last year. It's super impressive and works incredibly fluid. I hope this gets a bunch of attention and gets incorporated into a lot of curriculums. Even the first example offers more insight that the ent

Fun fact: the original monkey island CD was a music CD with the soundtrack, too. This is possible because music is written to a cd outside-in and date inside-out (or visa versa, I forget). This blew my mind as a kid, and you could even see

We've been trying this out at my company, it's pretty full-featured already. Now if I could just get all my colleague's on board with the idea of a private company chat.

I tried the two logo's I could find the quickest but both were bigger than 260x260px, which is astronomically small. Maybe up those limits to something like 800x600?

No, I won't. I was just going off on twitter ranting about the quantifiable suck of VOIP client interfaces (proof: http://www.voipsupply.com/blog/free-sip-softphone-roundup ) They all suck and the people building that should be aware. N

Very easy to use! I would love an upload-to-soundcloud function as well as non-destructive dubbing (and the ability to remove and redo bad dubs). Some sort of visual representation of the soundwave, like the soundcloud-app does, is also inc

As someone whose diet is already high in eggs, meat etc. (paleo) I wonder how much effect this has. I am asking this because both fish oil supplements and magnesium supplements don't seem to have any additional beneficial effect on me. Anyo

sigh . I had just ported over one of my sites to their API and was superhappy to have it back online (it was offline before when I relied on opencv but then the only host supporting that shut down). And only a 30 day notice? For shame. Are
