As someone else mentioned, this was for an outdoor unit that cools the entire house through the central air and heat system. My time in Israel was rather cold and required a jacket most times :)

I bought an AC for my home in Seattle before last summer. Cost about $4,200 and was worth it in my opinion.

When searching for "tonnido" in the app store, there are three results of the same app with different titles. What's that all about? There's: Tonido Tonido for AppliedMicro Tonido for Freecom

I have no idea if this is related, but I'm really starting to think about the studies related to long sitting sessions and the sedentary lifestyle that come with impassioned software developers/engineers. Our love for what we do might be k

For the first time since I've had credit cards, I've had my cards cloned and used to make purcahses twice over the past couple of months. It's a major hassle because I have auto pay for reoccurring bills (phone, internet, electric, etc...)

I find horizontal scrolling to be very awkward. That change alone makes me dislike the new app store, with it's horizontal scrolling everywhere. On the plus side, not having to type a password to install updates for apps is a major win.

Maybe phones are becoming feature complete? If they add to much to quickly, they'll have nothing to put out for the next model :D If you could magically ship something with the iPhone 5, what would it be?

I don't enjoy it either. The tampering of the scrollbar and having the text stuffed into some sort of frame ruins the experience. Those two problems make it difficult to read on G+ so I usually just avoid it.

I've never been to Detroit, what's wrong with it? Is it as bad as the media makes it out to be? I hear of murders and vacant swaths of previously bustling areas. How much truth is there to this?

Were these just password hashes or did the leak include usernames and/or email addresses?

The reason that it's so unreliable is that my server's IP address gets banned by YC when the requests are to fast, and I have it hosted on a small cheap server. There are ways around this, but it just isn't worth the time or money.

To the cyclists among us, how do you overcome the fear of riding in the middle of heavy trafficked roads during rush hour? This is very common in the Seattle area and almost as common in Dallas.

I get obsessed with what I'm working on and have to force myself to stop and go home. I leave work and I'm still thinking about what I've left.

We are doing that at Amazon. I made the switch a couple months ago but it's up to each team when they'd like to switch. My team is lucky in that we have a couple people who really know Git well.

I highly recommend a visit to the Museum of Flight in Seattle where you can see a real SR-71 Blackbird. It doesn't look like it came from this planet, gave me the chills thinking about the people who created it.

Right. These two companies have somewhat destroyed mobile innovation by being the largest providers of mobile internet and neutering their services to be almost useless outside of checking email and web browsing. Comcast is doing their bi

Same here. I'm thankful for the brains that went into developing such a tool, just think about the amount of research, mathematics, and algorithms required to do even some of the simple tasks in Photoshop.

I bothers the hell out of me every time I see it. It has exploded in use over the last year. That tells me people are using it sort of like a fashion trend, maybe to look intellectual? Same with "that said", "having said that", and "that be
