   Judging by the pictures on iFixit[1], the PCB and the battery don't look very heavy. 1. http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/iPad-Wi-Fi-Teardown/2183/2

   Are you sure a portable 15" screen with today's technology would be lighter than the iPad?

   This sounds partly similar to businesses who clear out deceased people's houses. Perhaps you can learn from them?

   The word "cash" is the most descriptive word ("box" is a rather generic term) in those names. Apart from that, the names sound completely generic. They remind me of get-rich-quick schemes and of shady online casinos, which are all purely ab

   Sounds dangerously close to casino spam to me.

   USB powered may be a problem: 2.5W doesn't get you far.

   Have you tried wordoid.com? (not as a name, but as a source of names).

   Cleaner commits: agree. But the goal of fewer commits doesn't usually lead to fewer features per commit, rather more.

    I liked the ecclectic choice of metasyntactic variable names: garply, grault, corge, and pouet.

    What about search engines? If HTML is only generated in the browser, they may not find anything to index.

    You mean, like a homepage? But seriously: I can understand people use URL shorteners to twitter ephemeral links, and pastebin for syntax-colored code copy&paste. But special-purpose hosting for something slowly-changing like contact inf

    The author explains that he built the tool because of difficulties getting msp430-gcc to run and doesn't feel like screwing with mspgcc4. I do recommend screwing with mspgcc4. It comes with a download-and-build script. It built flawlessly o

    I'm not a biologist, either, but there are e.g. repair enzymes, which may denaturate and lose their function when heated. Reader "Richard2010", comment #2, named a few more mechanisms for causing cancer using non-ionizing radiation. Whether

    The commenters agree mainly on one thing: that the article is poorly researched because it only deals with cancer by direct ionization of DNA.

    I use it because 1) it is available on all the platforms I use (Linux, Maemo, Mac, Windows, Symbian) and syncs bookmarks to and fro 2) it can be secretly installed in my home on my work computer which runs a heavily customized old Debian wi

    In a conventionally built PC, the case, made mostly from one kind of sheet metal, is quite easy to recycle and can often survive the mainboard and CPU, so replacing it with cardboard is not that much of an improvement. It looks funny, thoug

    But how do I verify that the JS code being served to me in this moment is the version audited by the trusted party? AFAIK, mainstream browsers have no button to compute a hash over the contents of a website. (And it's not just reusable JS l

    Doesn't look plausible to me -- Oracle's Sun business uses Sparc and x86 processors. If the chip-maker purchase is supposed to complement Oracle's existing products, they should rather buy a x86 or Sparc company. Unless they plan to throw a

    Including the S-Bahn of Berlin but not the RER of Paris or the S-Bahn of Munich looks like an arbitrary decision. Yes, I know the shapes of the pantographs differ, but that's not relevant to me at that scale.
