Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe the title should say "Out of Salvia/Iboga/Ketamine/...?" because it's dissociative hallucinogens that induce hallucinations through sensory deprivation. LSD does the exact opposite

I envision a cellphone that can be docked inside some kind of a netbook shell. The phone holds all the essential hardware, but the netbook shell provides a bigger battery, a keyboard and a larger screen. Take both or only the phone with you

Can you hook this into Twitter/Gravatar/etc and have your profile picture changed several times a day?

Can you get a version that doesn't have 5 logos from 3 different companies on it?

Thanks for the reply. I wanted to get an idea how long I should wait before signing a contract with another company. I applied with several companies about a week ago an it's really interesting to see the differences between small and large

A bit offtopic, but does anyone know how long Google usually needs to get back to you when you apply for a position? Also, do they notify you if you've been rejected, or does your resume simply disappear into a black hole?

This would be a lossy transformation. An <address> tag would still need to be transformed into a <div> which would destroy the association between the tag name and its contents. After that getElementsByTagName('address') wou

My toolbar is full of links to bugs and other tasks I need to get done. This way I am constantly reminded that there are things I need to work on and when I finish something I can simply click the bookmark and fill in all the missing detail

I agree that using a precomputed value in a where clause is a good idea. But it's very likely that computing that value inside a DB engine and fetching a single value is going to be faster than fetching 50 values and calculating the product

The Postgres way is much simpler: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION product_sfunc(state NUMERIC, value NUMERIC) RETURNS NUMERIC AS $$ BEGIN IF value IS NOT NULL THEN IF state IS NULL THEN RETURN

I believe your criticism is equivalent to the old "macs only have one mouse button" argument. Sure, false==0 and "false"==0 both evaluate to true, but is that really a bad thing? It is well known and well documented behavior. I would even a

Tusko, the elephant from the famous LSD experiment, was injected with 297 milligrams. 0.015 milligrams, on the other hand, is only about 1/10 of the usual dose one would take for a "trip". I suspect this might be a typo since 0.15mg is the

I'm not sure about comments, but I have also noticed myself that Google can be surprisingly quick at picking up new submissions.

I've seen this link a couple of times a while ago when Bing launched. Most commenters said: "Hey, look! In a blind test Yahoo and Bing are just as good as Google!". What they forgot, though, was that being just as good is not good enough fo

This would only protect you against password guessing, but not against any remotely exploitable security holes in the SSH (or any other) daemon.

Considering how firewalls and AppArmor do completely different things, I'd say you need both.

My 3 most important rules for Linux servers are: 1. Run software update! 2. Don't allow everyone to access sensitive ports. Moving SSH to some nonstandard port is not enough. Use iptables to limit access to it from only certain static IPs.

We used to have quit-o-meters drawn on the whiteboard in our office. Every time someone came from a meeting with the management he would reposition the indicator. Mine was the first one to go into the "I quit" zone and so did another cowork

In East Germany everyone was a spy. On Twitter everyone will soon be a marketer. I wonder if the number of tweets full of fake enthusiasm will suddenly go up dramatically. I'm talking about tweets like: "I'm so incredibly excited by GeneriC

Because sometimes it wasn't immediately obvious that something was broken without looking at the error console. This was a business app and if, for example, a form widget failed to work properly it could result in silent data loss which wou

Sometimes that's not an option. We were once forced to do the same thing. Block Opera, that is. We had a large-ish JS app which ran fine in FF and IE, but generated all sorts of exceptions in Opera. The reason we didn't fix it was that ever

The site is very locally oriented (it's a community site featuring news/events/discussions/image galleries for a small city) and the only "Macs" we're seeing around here are iPods.

We're based in Slovenia, a country with a very high percentage of FF users. We used to be in 2. place, right after Finland, but I'm not sure about current stats. Why FF is so popular here is a different question. My theory is that it has a
