Thanks, without your comment I wouldn't have thought to put this on the top of the possible-guts list for a similar project I've been hoping to get to. I was thinking of a little NAS back-up box going out in the back-yard, buried and prote

My Broca's and Wernicke's areas often go on and on about how good a job they would do with sudo privileges. And they say their arguments are well formed.

Not just the price. Have it tell you any one of a number of information types that you personally value. Such as if that item has any ingredients that you have blacklisted (or your doctor has). Have it show you a "Pollan-score" for the i

Which is really too bad. Make one with a button that calls a single number programmed in via the usb connection and it would be a sweet little communicator. Parents would love to strap one on their kid(s).

I don't see why it is inherently unsustainable. There is nothing in the very nature of disposability that precludes a robust recycling path to close the matter loop. And nothing that precludes including the cost of that recycling in the p

Also, a mouse is quite handy if the screen being displayed to is far enough away that one can't, in some common use cases, touch it comfortably.

I'm going to kill this kitten if you don't give me your car. You wouldn't want to be indirectly responsible for the kitten's death would you?

That is a point good enough to deserve an attempt to encapsulate it in a memorable saying. "Don't let your ecological web depend too much on indicator species" doesn't work. How about: "Don't depend on canary eggs when you live in a coal

This seems to involved something conceptually similar the part of unscheduling ( http://www.lifeclever.com/how-to-unschedule-your-work-and-en... ) that has one fill in the calendar with all the non-work things one is going to do. Thus one

In Player of Games, the Culture doesn't represent we humans on Earth. The Azad do. They aren't alien and different because of that.

In cannon, Earth is an un-contacted planet and the Culture isn't our future. They are out there now. Though, obviously, as a literary device you are right.

We live in a pretty cynical time. One part of that is in our stories. We often take the quick path to "interesting" ideas by tearing apart good things. Utopia can't be, write about a dystopia instead. It is easier that way. This rut is

So, what about using someone's frailties against them. Doing a time-constrained, cleverly marketed and salesman pushed, complex contract product agreed to by someone just this side of the line of legal competence due to low IQ?

If some form of delegative voting is used, then when someone determines that the technocrat they previously trusted has become corrupted, they move their vote away from that delegate to a new delegate. Or they use their vote them-self. Th

Seems like it will be quite possible with Glass to ditch the full phone and go with a mobile hotspot. By doing calls over that we can push the carriers into what they should be (according to so many geeks these days), dumb pipes. Heck, kee

Absolutely. When I also derived that commonly known idea for myself (seems the only way to have a hope of internalizing it and having it stick), I tried to think of a pithy way to say it, so I would have a better chance of remembering it w

The fingerpainting analogy is what I use as a springboard when someone belittles styluses and good digitizers. Babies and kids fingerpaint, adults use brushes and pens.

The look and the sound of the Daleks communicates very well that they don't care one wit about anything like our aesthetics nor do their ideas of practicality line up with our own. And yeah, they look like cold, mechanical things, but then
