Not sure where you're living but I'm in a lovely 3br for a bit more than that and only 20-25 mins out from Bank on the tube. Everyone in London knows that if you don't want to pay through the nose don't live in the centre!

I really like f1fanatic.co.uk for pretty good analysis and updates (and, of course, gossip and drama! :). There is a pretty good forum on there for people to chat too, and it has a lot of very knowledgeable people who hang around. ... I jus

I was at the Bank of England museum checking out the first "notes" the other day, and they date back to 1694. That's a little older than 100 years.

I'd say you're probably right. I usually only need 8 hrs sleep, but when I'm sick, for example, I often find myself easily sleeping for 12+ hours (like this morning, oops! :).

Additionally to the very spot-on dissection of Skype in the article, what I find amazingly frustrating about this version is the list of recent calls in the left-hand menu thing. I call a lot of numbers in Australia, and where it used to sh

My boyfriend just graduated with a PhD in computer science, and his mother sent a congratulatory email to him (with me in CC) saying "Congratulations on your PhD in IT!" Much good-natured jibing was had after that. :)

... to its detriment, at times. I have a very good app on my iPhone that plots out bike paths around London for me. Sadly, when I have reached my destination, and "close" the window, it continues to use the GPS and other battery sucking thi

There's probably as much alcohol in your Rochefort 8 as there is in that entire six-pack too :-)

What's often not said in these discussions is that college/university time is a great time to work out what you want to do for a bit. I certainly had no idea what I wanted to do coming out of high school. I wanted to be a veterinarian, but

Well, if you want to let them tell their story, that's great! But perhaps keep the cash incentive out of it. Perhaps offer something else, like a meal or a cup of coffee or something tangible they can use. Also, establish a really really in

No worries, always happy to help! If you or your friend have any more questions about ethics-related concerns feel free to send me an email :)

Sure! This is why I suggested writing them up :) But I think it's also very important to respect the people you're interviewing. They're a vulnerable group for a reason, and you need to take particular care with vulnerable people. Here are

I'm sure the intent wasn't to be demeaning, but surely you can just go down and talk to people, if you're interested in this sort of thing? Do you have to video them and publish them to the world? My recommendation would be to interview the

I have to agree with you. There's a whole area of study when it comes to research ethics and vulnerable people. Especially when you start publishing such interviews to the internet. It also bothered me that the project owner mentioned that

Hi! I just signed up, and I thought I'd go see who was about to help a potential me - and it signed me up as needing help without any sort of confirmation! Now I'm in an embarrassing situation where I need to explain to my poor buddy that I

It's interesting you mention this. I distinctly remember signing up for OKC because it had fun quizzes and stuff -- I wasn't really thinking it was much of a dating site at the time, and that it was more of a social networking site in the d

I just sent a link along to my mother, who has been wanting a no-frills big-numbered mobile phone that has a long standby time. I think it's perfect for those, like my mother, who don't use SMS, electronic address books, or any other "fancy

Effective from whose point of view? There's a lot to be said from a fresh perspective on things, especially when it comes to identifying potential problems. I've done a lot of interviews with engineers and worked in industry myself and when

One day I hope to see a company like this advertise for a technology ethicist. :-) edit: okay, perhaps I should explain: not because I'm looking for a job (I'm happily employed!) but because it would suggest a desire to actually be proactiv

I'll be interested in seeing how this goes. I use Streetcar in the UK and it's been pretty good, but like a lot of posters I've seen a lot of damage done to these cars (particularly damage underneath the front of the cars from going too fas

This is exactly what I do, which is why it frustrates me so much when some authors/publishers/wives of dead authors (like with the Wheel of Time series) won't allow the release of the ebook until well after the hardcover. Instead I resort t

A lot of this will go to help poorer people unable to insure their homes and/or contents, or to help relief efforts feed, clothe, and house evacuees. It may not be a poor country but there are still poor people. Just like Hurricane Katrina

There seems to be a lot of generalisation going on in these sorts of articles. The situation in the US might be bad for humanities doctorates but if you're going into academia there's almost no chance you'll be able to find a job near where

I just signed up the other day! :( Oh well. I'm happy now that I have a local datacentre (UK). Also that my new server hasn't been added to SORBS' DUHL (the 3 weeks it's been taking Slicehost and SORBS to work things out there has been kill

Thanks, I must have missed that! I also saw an additional claim on the "Gnosis explains" article: "The actual database size is 1,247,897 rows, which is 80+% of their database." - http://www.mediaite.com/online/exclusive-gawker-hacker-gnosi

I have an io9 account (that's a Gawker site) but my email isn't showing up in a grep of the db dumps. Perhaps this is not the entire database after all? (I didn't use Facebook Connect.) I must admit I'm a bit intrigued as to why mine's not

Well, like some of the open source community, they don't really like to see people profiting from the hard work they put in to release things to the community. It's not business to them, it's idealism.

It's a trusted computing type lock down AFAIK, so not software update-able. I think they can try the latter of your suggestions, but the same process could just be used to discover the new key, or they'd need to do some serious re-engineeri

Well the answer to that is on the page. Apparently last time it came out a bunch of people commercialised it by making dongles and selling them, and the scene wants to avoid that happening again before an open source thing is released. PSGr
