There's no need to be that extreme - just call them and ask for a lower price, you'll get it. If they push, tell them a neighbor just signed up at a lower rate or similar, you'll get a big decrease of your bill pretty quickly

I've been wondering the same thing - I live in a small studio now for an extremely low price, but have been considering upgrading for a multitude of reasons, including going from 12mbit Centurylink (the best I can get in my building) t

You're missing the part where the pawn shop, knowing people do stuff like this, will collect the Name / Phone # of the person pawning the cell phone and can call the authorities and get said person arrested.

These are divergent goals - we can have super low energy tech like 802.15.4/ZigBee[1] as well as higher power, super fast wireless tech like 802.11ac. [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_802.15.4

Their Kimsufi line is still very much alive at http://www.kimsufi.com/fr/ - there's a 10 Euro install fee, but otherwise they're still just as cheap as they always were (more or less).

This doesn't seem like a "terrible" TSA experience at all? I know everyone loves to hate the TSA/Government, but this seems like a relatively normal procedure, especially for a 16 year old traveling with a 19 year old. A

I believe, and I could be wrong, that the iOS YouTube app was developed jointly by Apple and Google back when iOS first came out in 2007, when YT and mobile video was in an entirely different place than it is today. Google signed some sort

Two of the reasons they were "hit by penguin" were: * Bad Links bought by their SEO contractor * "Grey Hat" link buying I stand by my tl;dr - they lost traffic due to bad SEO. I never said it was their fault, but it's certainly not Google's

I would assume that building out more rail will take the pressure off of the current infrastructure and allow a more pleasant commute for many more than just those 160,000 people. Not to mention an easy commute encourages people to move to

This is a great little program, but I'm curious why you're marketing it only for the Raspberry Pi? A low-memory system monitoring script could be useful in many other areas, and as far as I can tell, there's nothing RPi specific in the sour

If you're a small enough startup to have all of your support handled by one person part-time, I would hardly call it at scale. They made ticketing systems for this purpose, so you don't need to remember to switch drip e-mails and juggle thi

Mostly because you can only upload 300MB per month in images: http://www.flickr.com/help/limits/ It'd take you 277 years to actually hit that TB with a free plan. To even use a tenth, it would take 27 years. Edit: It appears they have rem

Keep in mind as a non-pro user you can only upload 300MB a month: http://www.flickr.com/help/limits/ 277 years (or 7,242 fortnights) later, and you can finally use all of your space. Edit: It appears they have removed the limit, disregard

I'm a little shocked honestly - they might as well offer "unlimited" storage if I can only upload 3.6GB per year in images. This makes the entire 1 TB craze seem like a giant farce. Edit: It appears they have removed the limit, disregard.
