A boy embarking on his teenage years with few anchors in a chaotic world has a place he may call his own, with people there who know him and will welcome him always. This is a goal of mine for my kid. Having an anchor -- especially with

If he's enjoy it, which he appears to be, then he's having fun hacking as well as getting a near-free vacation. I'm certain that fiddling with my 30 year old pinball machine is a net loss. But I'm going to do it anyhow.

Oh this bit made me so happy too! My high school science fair project involved controlling stepper motors off a parallel port. I really didn't want to fry the port -- I needed it to print out papers. So I used a collection of optocouplers

Changing the icon would make it significantly harder for me to scan and find what I'm trying to run. I worry that it'd be abused with a POTD concept or some such nonsense. A tighter implementation would be a limited amount over overlay tha

I'm a little surprised that this is news. The profit margins in hotels appear to be much bigger than in flight.

I'm surprised he cares about startup and shutdown times. One of the lovely things about the Mac laptops is that you never have to turn them off. Close them and they go to sleep in a few seconds. Open them up and you're ready to work immed

I'm still flummoxed that people give PayPal access to their bank account. I give access to a credit card, knowing that I'll only be liable for $50, but nothing more.

Why do we adulate the young who are too naive to know it can't be done, but demonize the stupid managers who are too stupid to know it can't be done?

This is incredibly misleading. 1. You don't need access to my newsfeed to grab PUBLIC posts to my newsfeed, only private ones. 2. Posting is NOT required for sharing, only for "sharing" without the user's explicit permission. You can alwa

I hate this product. My relatives give them as gifts because our culture needs to wrap actual money in some level of indirection in order to make it feel "gifty." The cost of that -- $2-6/mo -- is too damn high, and is the basis of the pro
