   There appears to be a private API for that: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8463212/detecting-color-o... Not sure if this is how it was done; likely a user prompt.

   It makes me uneasy how pervasive DRM is becoming and how it's infiltrating lower and lower levels of hardware. We're already 90% of the way to not actually owning our own machines anymore.

   If you really want freedom, use CyanogenMod, or better, Replicant. Google's been enviously eyeing Apple's walled garden for a while now.

   Facebook app is in "sandbox" mode, so unfortunately I can't use it right now. Nice concept, though!

   I had 0.25 BTC on Inputs.io and was uneasy about using the service. I withdrew it all on Monday to my phone... now I'm so glad that I did!

    This is really awesome. First thing I did was try a sawtooth wave by entering sequential powers of 0.5... this had the intended effect of creating a sawtooth wave, but also the circle diagram was tracing an almost perfect circle in 2D. Real

    Not to be that guy, but could you possibly have picked any color other than that particular shade of brown for the header? Other than that, this is a really gorgeous solution. I'm going to see if I can implement something like this f

    PRISM Jr.! (Or perhaps My First Surveillance?) Jokes aside, I think there will be some cool infographics to come out of this. Imagine creating a visual friend graph where links are perhaps weighted or colored by the amount of time two peopl

    Pretty nice! Honestly after reading the "Let's have coffee" link submitted I considered building my own. Problem with the autocomplete, though; it doesn't always seem to work, and so I'm having a lot of trouble addi

    I think you're confusing "tip" with "paycheck". That said, I would like to hope that the tip amounts will rise as the site gains traction.

    THIS. Remember when you first discovered programming? When you did all those little projects that were, honestly, fairly useless, but brought you the spine-tingling sensation of having power over your domain? Remember how when you started p

    The article is a second-hand source; the author could be trying to stir something up, or maybe just got a bit too excited. Who knows? The article also says the proposal, among others, "haven’t hit the desk of anyone at the USB Implemen

    Right, but in a shell syntax <= my performance. If I'm typing something 5 times a day, I'd rather type "ls dir|grep README" than some extremely long string of JS. I'm talking about usability, not raw performance.

    Could you elaborate? Materials, sources, designs, etc? I'm interested in making a desk on the cheap.

    Heh. Literally this morning I had to use Node to pipe data from one process to another. Unless there's a drastic increase in the efficiency of the syntax, I'm keeping this at arm's length.

    I don't think there's a sysadmin in existence who hasn't misused $(cat). It's really for concatenating 2 files, but only rarely have I ever used it or seen it used for anything other than quickly checking contents of a f

    Thanks for the link... I've never read the README before, and it's very entertaining. Now I'm going to have "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t" echoing through my head all day

    That stopped working for me several months ago... IIRC Netflix needed an updated version of Silverlight. Have they patched it?

    I think, from a practical standpoint, if "never" means "never before the heat death of the universe" then I'd be pretty satisfied. Pure math is truly wonderful (I love theoretical stuff) but at some point it does ha

    Could there be a histogram at the end that shows distribution of finishing times? Or at least a leaderboard... I did pretty well [obviously ;)] but I'd like to see where my time falls in relationship to others. I've confirmed that

    Could you do this with a Raspberry Pi, a Netgear antenna, and a crossover cord? Very tempted to try this out, Linux style.
