What do you do with customers who don't have or can't find product keys for Windows, Office, etc.? I find the majority of people who ask me for help fall into this category. Unless they have a laptop with the product key stuck underneath,

Why believe it's satire? He's got an actual app already deployed and a full history of blog posts demonstrating his knowledge and interest in this field.

China is fast becoming freer while the US is headed in the opposite direction. Some examples of freedoms in China that are illegal in some or all US states: * I can get real milk (see http://www.realmilk.com/ ) delivered to my door. * Fire

It would be useful to include a list of HSK words (the Chinese TOEFL equivalent).

Perhaps the biggest news coming out of Copenhagen: Presidents and Prime Ministers recognize that greenhouse gases are a problem they have to deal with. Shouldn't that read "...an opportunity for more taxation and control"?

So, for hardware manufacturers, is there any reliable way to identify good quality caps?

This chart seems to be off. China only holds over $2b? According to this: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Foreign_H... China holds almost $800b of US Treasury Securities.

I can't find how much Apple makes in all of this infographic. I had to do the calculation myself: 5.2 million * (351 subsidy + 20 profit) = 1.9292 billion

To save all the kiddies from embarrassment and rejection (which typically implies you'll just end up making more money at some tech company)[...] I've never heard this one before. Usually the myth goes that people who go right into the wo

I wouldn't say he's "optimizing" if he chooses to use a cheap host and subdomain. He's boostrapping an agile product. He can always get a better host and full domain name in subsequent iterations.

What's wrong with that? $15 a month might be all it takes to become "ramen profitable".

I have also benefited from the Bates Method (at least portions of it). The new findings about spending time outdoors particularly accord with Bates' idea that sunlight is beneficial to eyesight. Bates said that pointing the head towards the

First you need a source of raw milk. Then it's really simple. Simply leave your milk out in a wide-mouth jar for a few days until it becomes separated. Then drain the liquid (whey) by pouring through a cheesecloth (gauze works fine). Tie th

Microcontroller firmware. There are many examples of AVR code in assembly on the web. I learned assembly this way. It really makes sense when you're working on bare hardware with no abstraction layers in the way. Also, it's useful for time-

Didn't this hacker make a replacement OS better than TI's? I don't think TI will face serious competition from clones, except possibly in Asia and third-world countries. This hack doesn't even help in making clones, except maybe by giving e
