I just updated my Dell, but haven't restarted. Do we know how widespread the problem is and should I roll back the update?

Implementing this exact solution probably won't work for most people, but I found the idea of digital fasting a productive one. Try some less extreme variation of this like getting a dumb phone or switching to a paper magazine for your

I bought the Dell XPS 13 (9650) about 8 months ago. It comes preloaded with Ubuntu so you don't have spend too much time debugging drivers. This was my main concern since I was going to be running Linux as my only OS. I've only ha

Thanks, I'll check it out. I didn't know they build a humanitarian organization around the open source project. I remember reading about the great work they did mapping Haiti after the earthquake to help first responds navigate th

Cool idea. I always use HN as a starting point for tech purchase. For example, I'm looking for a NAS and the first thing I'm going to do is search HN to see what other people are using. I would totally use this if you expanded to other area

I spent a few months evaluating a few of these chairs after I started feeling pressure points in my legs. My pain is gone, but no chair will ever replace stretching every hour or so. Here are my short reviews: Herman Miller Embody: The chai

My school did this as well, but they claimed it was for maintenance reasons. Seemed like they were always tweaking it to withstand the load during course selection time. Maybe it's just easier to have regular down time than unpredictable d

Someone already ported Qt to android along with Qt Creator integration, all-in-one installer, and a Qt library packaging system for your apps. Appears to be in development still. (edit) project page: http://sourceforge.net/p/necessitas/hom

Off topic: I've been looking for some kind of app to keep track and share predictions like these? Would you use it if it did?

Did they install it after you installed your browser? If they did then that sucks. Otherwise it's not that bad. Probably a source of funding for the project.

My family just got an Apple TV and I'm very impressed at the fit and finish, but I was disappointed at the lack of features. I would love a more open device where I could install whatever I want. For example I would love to mirror my displa

I don't have an iOS device so I can't try the app, but I love the idea, love the name, love the reviews and implementation looks good. This is a great first app. It is not overly complicated and solves a problem in an elegant way. Congrats!

The problem is 250GB is already too low especially when there is no evidence that me downloading 1GB vs 100GB costs ISP the amount of money they are asking for. Congestion is definitely a problem, but charging per bit does nothing to solve

I was excited by this chip because like others have mentioned it reduces the tolerances and therefore cost of PCBs, which is great for hobbyists. What are the specs for your BGA boards and how much do they cost for small runs?

The NeTV is a fascinating device. Until now it wasn't possible to manipulate video protected by HDCP unless you got an expensive license. Probably not doable for hobbyists and startups. Bunnie solved this by performing a man-in-the-middle a
