Thankfully, we'll never have to wonder how river boats navigated the Mississippi without depth finders and radar. http://www.classicreader.com/book/2886/7/ The Vikings may very well been similarly observant of their world, without resorti

It's not dropbox I'm worried about, so much as the fact that a system that has the ability to make public any file at the owners direction, could be potentially exploited to make public any file without the owners direction. Are non-public

Share any folder or file in your Dropbox without having to move it to the Public folder. So you can just right-click on a file to share it. Hmmm, I have to say, this concerns me. It seems to open up security vulnerabili

I considered the fact that I'm logged in to Google on the ssh connected PC, and I have an Android phone sitting next to me, logged in to the same account. I logged out of Google on my ssh connected PC, to break that connection between phone

Thanks. Yes, it does. So, there's just a database error for some Dallas Linode IP addresses that puts them in New Jersey. Now, about that Google thing...

I suspect it would have been freezing point that was most important, and whiskey was a readily available source of low freezing point liquid.

This data is from 2005, so I find it suspect http://www.conversionchronicles.com/What_is_an_average_conve... I see these exact numbers quoted a lot, so I think they're just regurgitating from here.

Can you help me understand how this helps with scaling? I prefer this url format myself and noticed it's used rarely by the big guys. If there's a scaling advantage it provides, however, it's not obvious to me.

Random thought from a non-medical type. It's interesting to me that she had cancer when they harvested the cells, given the non-mainstream theory that cancer is just the body's healing process, run amok. I find the thought that it's the ca

Imagine you are a legislator in the US. You are one of 535 people who pass the laws that effect every industry and group of the country. How arrogant would it be to assume that you can make good decisions about a certain industry or group

I have to say, I really like http://cablesearch.org/ for this. He's done an amazing job and as the entire corpus of cables is released, he'll have a valuable and useful little web property.

Why would they add this feature? Are they going to sell more chips because of it? Do they see a person who's on the fence about whether to buy a computer with Intel inside, and have this be the thing that pushes them to decide to buy? I

This is nothing against cloudkick. I've never even been to their site. I'm sure their service is amazing. My question is a general question that I ask almost every time I see a company get bought. The question is, "Why buy, when you can

I personally use 'password' for my password on sites like Gawker, where I'm being forced to create an account I don't care about. Using 'password' for my password is my note to myself that this is a junk account that I have no interest in.
