The Kindle charger is sold separately, and you could probably get a much cheaper one than the $20 they are selling for as it's a standard micro USB port. My paperwhite USB is the same as my Logitec mouse and Android phone. Makes charging mu

This is fantastic news, good to see this means these guys will stick around for quite a while to come. It's quite a remarkable service, I'm not aware of any embedded (unobtrusive) video chat alternatives aside from rolling your own Red5 ser

I passed through one of the largest airports in the U.S. recently, being early and prepared to opt-out, and was pleasantly surprised to see the line moving faster than I'd seen it in a long time. Perhaps it's not just public perception but

I'd propose another feature: you can upload a picture of your stolen bike (make one now!) and crowd-source finding a match. Like others have said here: even if one person finds their bike on this service it's worth it. I've had bikes and bi

I agree if we are speaking about achievement in general, but Ada is specifically celebrated for her insight into computing, so it's relevant in that context whereas Curie, as far as I know, never had anything to do with the topic.

>we apparently only can have one woman in science. Why not have two? I don't accept the premise of the article that Marie Curie isn't celebrated in her own right. I'd say you'd be hard-pressed to find a woman in any science who isn't aw

The older programmers I know are in niche fields, like audio effects processing or hardware hacking. It's not a job, it's what you get up and do with your brain every day.

Song lyric translations are huge outside of english speaking countries. U.S. rock/pop is played all over the world and most people can sing some words of a well-known english song. The potential to reach an international audience is huge, g

On another note, I went to make a pair of them for a friend and her husband's anniversary, but he has very little hair and there is no kind way to not put hair on something like this.

After experiencing a significant moment of inability to conceptualize while watching Graham's number be described, I think the brain might have some kind of stop-gap to stop your cognitive functions from failing. Either that or I need more

"Now you can do something more meaningful" (than a hey, happy birthday call or message). It disappoints me when I hear wording like this, there is nothing more meaningful about paying money for a present that took you two clicks and is prob

Make a really clear plan, show them how many hours it took to build it and explain what kind of support you could offer. If a web presence is important to them, the charity should be able to budget in support hours after delivery. I usually

It also shows here in his comment how 'small' the internet was: maybe everyone having fibre to their home was some far-off imaginings of crazy people. "I somewhat prefer ICON since it implies that the IMAGE should be smallish"

I think all your points above are primarily for film as an industry: of course it takes money to make money. But what I meant by "the act of producing" is the act of producing work, of making things. I'm tired of watching polished films fro

If you're talking about movies as an industry then that's different, but if you're talking about finding great work like Primer or Herzog's documentaries, throwing money at filmmakers isn't going to make great work and kickstarter-for-movie

I think filmmaking and other pursuits like music will continue to bring great authors without any community funding. Every great artist just got started with limited means and their work shows for itself. A good artist doesn't need a few th

There is still a lot of good legacy code hosted on SourceForge, I end up there all the time and figure that whoever the owner was never got around to moving it to github or google code.

It's interesting to me how easy it is for some people to circumvent their ethics. This kid is intelligent enough to know what he's done is unethical but I've never been a teenage boy so I consider what would come with that feeling of discov

I'm glad I read this: I pre-ordered the ad version yesterday unawares, and just cancelled my order and re-ordered with the extra no-ad tax. My ship date slipped by 10 days sadly.
