Certainly not me. I had to tie it to my shoelace when I was going for a run, as my running shorts don't have pockets. Now, of course, as technology has caught up, I bought a lock from Home Depot that allows me to just remember a combinati

I feel for the kid. I still grimace when I think of bragging to the game warden when I was 4, about how my dad caught a salmon with his bare hands. Of course, it wasn't fishing season, nor did we have a license. Even at 4, as soon as I s

I like this idea. You wouldn't even need to make it only work for a single login. Let it live for a year or forever. Automate the bookmark procedure for them as well, so their bookmark for your site (https, of course) would automatically

I suspect I will also continue to carry a wallet. (a cloth one, not one with bluetooth in it) The point of the bluetooth wallet is to remind you of your bank balance since you're using electronic payment. My point was that, when you go to

Hmmm, I would short this idea. The trend will be away from wallets to phones. No need for a wallet to carry your credit card in, if your phone uses near field communication to be a credit card itself. A widget on your phone that can displa

Yes, it seems to be becoming an ad for PBXes, which is now on the very front page when you open it. I am aware that it's open source, which is what makes it so frustrating that this has happened to it. I hope that somebody does do as you su

Why not just a DNS Archive? Instead of snapshots of how a domain's webpage looked throughout time, you have snapshots of what ip address a domain mapped to, throughout time. Make it opt-in. Hell, maybe even charge for it. Make a REST inter

Thank you for your interest in US government. I'm delighted to see a foreign citizen take so much interest. I think you would agree that the likelihood of a filibuster on this issue is zero. I would suggest that the likelihood of a presid

To be clear, I think for many of us, this is not about "being naked in public". It's not that "those silly Americans with their unreasonable body taboos" What this is, is just another straw, although a fairly large one, that's being piled

I want to implement something like viewtext.org on my own server (not using an API). I recall somebody mentioning a package that did a pretty good job of cleaning up a web page but can't find it. Can anybody recommend anything?

I found this interesting and appreciate people who think about things instead of regurgitating what "experts" say with a pompous little whine in their voice. In this case, however, I wonder what is the tail and what is the dog. For me, whe

IMO, Facebook did well for two reasons, brand recognition and phased roll-out. After it started taking off at Harvard, you had the Harvard brand, which is a pretty big deal, to encourage uptake at other colleges. By going college by colle

How old is the EU? Already, after only a few years, the erosion of sovereignty of the individual countries is well along. I think it proves the point more than refutes it.

When something is possible, it is often not necessary. That it's possible that I may strike you in the nose if you're rude enough is generally enough to keep you from being rude enough to cause me to need to strike you. That revolution is

I've used DevPay. My experiences were generally positive. My problems with it were as follows. 1) Amazon doesn't expect one user to buy your service more than one time. Frankly, I didn't expect it either when I started the service or I w

As somebody who has been a renter and a landlord, I feel like there will be a strong incentive for renters to either exaggerate an apartments problems, or outright lie. If your landlord is evicting you due to noise, late rent, etc., many p

Regarding actual hacking... When the baby is very small they sleep a lot. They sleep more when you're near them. When you have only one baby, (so there's not an older brother causing problems), you can get a lot of work done sitting next
