Algae-based production is incredibly exciting to me. The hacker in me loves the solution of utilizing the waste by-product of grid power production as a significant input in the process. It doesn't solve our petroleum needs, but it's a hell

Domestic flights. I'm flying to Canada, our land-based neighbor, not Australia. The additional cost is purely because of bureaucracy, not the least of which is our security theatrics.

This is the conversational equivalent of "your feelings on the matter are irrelevant; suck it up, because I don't think it's so bad". Your opinion is duly noted. For what it's worth, I haven't flown in over a year and a half, and have no in

They're a bit more readable at full-size, but I have to agree, that angle is just annoying. But, better hard-to-read data than no data, I suppose. (I'm not responsible for the linked-to test, it was just mentioned on an internal mailing at

It clearly defines your responsibilities if you come across someone's lost property. Seems like a reasonable law to me.

The "Weather Icon" app from Cydia accomplishes this. There's a similar WinterBoard extension for the clock ("LiveClock"). Both work wonderfully. (Edit: it changes based on the weather and the time, not based on geolocation.)
