Funny you should mention the board game cafe concept. In Toronto we have Snakes and Lattes, it's very popular and constantly expanding into adjacent buildings/floors. Fun place to go and hang out, have a beer play with friends. I think that

I think that the author will get all the funds regardless of reaching the goal. It is the first time I see indiegogo and it would be quite different from kickstarter, but that's what their page seems to indicate: >Flexible Funding campa

@latchkey I think you are missing the point the MatthewPhillips is making. With GAE's DB there is nowhere to move, so if you want to move you would have to migrate your data to a different DB engine. If your hosting/cloud provider uses some

After clicking on play i get "Server not found: rtmpt://ec2-50-112-34-102.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:80/live", anyone else get this problem? I am wondering if it's the stream or the firewall at work.

Personally I would prefer a reverse set-up, post everything to my own site, automatically re-post to big players of my choosing.

If you haven't yet, you may want to try opening the case and cleaning the fan with compressed air. I fixed the infamous "Fan Error" on my 3yo x61s this way.

Joining the chorus of positive feedback, everything (including all things you specified) work out of the box in 12.04 on x61s. To be fair, there is a known bug in resume from sleep/hibernation, but it is not particular to ThinkPads but to I

Just don't go overboard with looking for the absolute best. Your post reminded me of "The Paradox of Choice" [1], a book by Barry Schwartz that I read not long ago. One of the claims that the author makes is that satisficing is the best max

I think Stockholm syndrome is an apt description of this condition. Maybe it happens because breaking the vicious cycle requires a person stuck in such predicament to acknowledge that their time, and to an extent their person, is a resource

Poor and complicit regulation is not much better than no regulation at all. Deregulation does not necessarily mean that suddenly all rules and regulations are removed. It may also mean making the rules more and more lax, to the point that b

Your Windows OEM analogy does not hold since the OEM does not develop nor integrate their own version of Windows. More importantly, Microsoft has full control over update channel. Not so with Android. > Would you like to address that or

No, it says "everyone is finding a way to watch it whether it is on HBO or by pirating, so why don't you figure out how to enable everyone to watch it without infringing on copyright and make some money in the process?"

I am not sure you have to be found guilty of anything by anyone. The game has changed somewhat. All it takes is for someone to decide that you deserve a spot on president's kill list [1] and one predator strike later you are no more. [1] h

I also have the x61s, there is no touchpad on that model, just the trackpoint. Which, by the way, is centered. My dream laptop would be a macbook air with a trackpoint and top notch linux support... I am curious to see what x230 will look l

Other than their "We've got stock" events that happen probably 3-4 times a year, the best option to get a hold of a buyvm vps is to hit up the irc channel. Often they have some available when other people cancel their accounts. If you don't

Of course I would. Accused pick pocket is not a convicted pick pocket, so limiting his access to funds is immoral. Not sure about the legality, to me it absolutely should not be legal but I do not have enough knowledge to claim that it is.
