There's WinLink ( http://www.winlink.org/ ) which is able to send email, photos, position reports etc over HF. It seems to be pretty healthy.

You shouldn't need a yagi to listen to ham sats (transmit you will). A good external omnidirectional antenna should be fine. In addition to the sats ISS always has at least one ham radio operator. They sometimes man the radio and make

I tried it out last time it showed up here. IIRC everything was tied to the registry (couldn't use my own non published images) so I went back to just using boot2docker.

FYI: Your link has ); appended to it. http://varidesk.com I also had a varidesk and wasn't too fond of it. There was no real good way to place a keyboard/mouse on the tray and it was a bit wobbly for my tastes. The pro

I think time savings is the wrong way to think about this. I also don't think people are in the habit of ordering things as soon as they need them. I suspect the item goes onto a list (physical or not), which then has to be processed.

Simulators seem to be in the Oculus' wheel house at the moment. It's a coveted item in the iRacing community and I would imagine flight sims are the same.

If you're paranoid about password security why are you storing them on a server you don't own? You can try KeyPass ( http://keepass.info/ ), but if you're upset with the usability of LastPass you probably won&#

With training and G suits 8G can be sustained. I believe 9G is the limit with this equipment.

All grain isn't that much more expensive. All you need to step up to a full all grain setup is an igloo cooler and a false bottom - ~$100 USD worth of gear. If you're batch sparging you can use your boil kettle to heat strike, the

The UI for updating a project is a bit off. I think a 'My Projects' type link where I could see and edit would work a bit better.

Hiya HN, I spent a few hours tonight to make a SUPER simple static site generator. It basically concatenates a header, your body, and a footer. After the compilation there's a hook to execute a post hook. This post hook gets passed the

If you've got a big box store around check out the lenovo yoga 2. Hidpi screen, ok keyboard, good battery and relativity cheap. The convertible screen comes in handy as well. I thought it would be a gimmick but I ended up using it pret

Yet another Digital Ocean customer. I've got nothing but good things to say about them. I also have a box on linode which have been excellent as well. Digital Ocean does bill per hour which is a nice plus if you want to test things on

I would think it's mostly timing. It would be interesting to see success rates of different categories of links based on time submitted.

This is interesting and a lot simpler than I was expecting. What's the feasibility of hooking into a webcam and using that as a metric for determining 'slouch'?

I'm curious to hear more about the 'reality distortion field'. You say 60-80% of people failed to use the tool - what was the basis for continuing on? Did you have a plan to mitigate the visits to other sites? When was the ne

I thought I had read an article about facebook switching to perforce due to their really large git repo. Were they at least thinking about it? A quick google comes up with nothing but I could have SWORN I read that.

Is there a template or example post for the first item? I've thought about doing this in the past but I didn't want to seem too elitist.
