So this is never going to fly then. Why would a food company use this coating at all? It's not in their interest - wasted food means more money for the company.

Unfortunately the majority sees it in other light - "ah yeah, another space ship, whatever, let me check what stupid photos my mates uploaded recently...". It's basically the society that's rotting, and FB just takes the profit. Really remi

Some people go where there is no 3G/WiFi coverage. Sometimes it's also financially not feasible to do this (think roaming costs). Example - a ferry trip from UK to France. No 3G for about 1.5hrs, or in other words - no 3G for a average leng

Very cool. The only problem I see with this is that if Swiftype is down, or slow, your website search is affected too... Depends on how you and your readers value this functionality of course. Some websites don't rely on search as badly as

I think it's just next level in the game: when you lie and get caught, how easily can you shrug it off and carry on. Not everyone can do this with a straight face. Politicians can. They're good at that.

Why would one not have anything to do at the age of 80 (I'm not speaking about physical and/or mental disabilities here)? Sure, there are people who would just sit there and do nothing, but anyone more creative should not see the age as a s

Congrats, very well done!! Unfortunately I went down the standard route - publisher, Amazon, the lot... I had really great experience in dealing with the publisher, and I learned a whole lot of new stuff about publishing, etc, etc. But this

Can we (disclaimer: I'm not British, but I live here) just create a background noise, like random automated emails containing "nasty" keywords that would trigger their filters? This would effectively render any detection system useless as i

On the same note... Maybe RPi got it wrong (ie building super cheap linux box). Maybe, just maybe, they should have built a supercheap six-legged bot, with a DCPU-like real CPU and a set of touch-vision sensors? It might be interesting to p

Every now and then things like this happen though: http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2012/apr/02/teenager-daniel-bar... Ban Coronation Street? Perhaps not. But we can't really say that media is not influencing our behaviour...

it's great, unless you're on the other side of the fence. a customer decides that you don't deserve the money for the product you shipped, and requests the money back. without even bothering to clarify what's wrong. and there's absolutely n

one line of thinking is this: "if it's not re-sellable it's not worth paying for". I buy a hammer, and once I'm done with it I can sell it. If I buy an MP3 file, can I resell it? Not that no one's going to buy, it's even 'illegal'...

This is obviously cool and all that, but I see one problem with these kind of shortcuts - children (who this site targets) have no idea why this works and how. They memorise it and go about their lives using it. They know it works, but have

I have two kids. The time at the computer is deliberately limited, so they aren't into games that much, although they like the online games, etc. Not into programming either, they didn't even pose a question 'how is this program made?'. To

IMO she's wrong about Comic Sans. According to 'Just My Type', teachers value this font, because autistic children accept/comprehend it easier.
