It just comes down to a habit of giving a name to something as an example of something that isn't meant to map to any problem domain. E.g. when a manufacturer is in the business of making "widgets," we know they're not

frob is a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metasyntactic_variable , but not a "common one" which may have led to your confusion.

This is a nice way of priming your mind for the concepts you're interested in--and is probably another example of why the current educational system languishes under standardized testing for metrics: when the goal isn't in the stu

You really do need to make distributed/decentralized generation the first priority for energy with storage the second. Make it a box that generates 1kWh/day that costs $99.00, something cheap and small. Without generation and cap

This would be pretty cool, you could probably include both magnets and those Faraday shakers tied to a coil around the drive--but I have doubts as to how strong a field you could make before the overhead of shipping a portable, "hand p

You could very well charge a large, hefty premium to have a private courier service pick up drives to be destroyed. I'm sure that there would be a small, select client base that would pay for it. Or, subsidize part of the cost for this

The USPS already has the infrastructure to do it and its over a century old. I'm not even questioning your service, I just know that you have no control in the USPS segment of the package's chain-of-custody. http://www.

Except for SSD's, perhaps its just easier to use something like http://www.dban.org/ and DIY. If you're a little paranoid, it isn't hard to imagine the USPS waylaying mail hard drives en-route to Destroyer.

You know, Comcast, if you didn't spend so much effort on trying to retain customers with passive-aggressive hostilities you wouldn't have to train and hire retention employees or waste time in meetings discussing why your corporat

You would probably get more traction if you explained it better in your headline and gave a better description than just a link to IndieGoGo.

Thank you! This looks like it could be useful for any system that could be threatened by censorship.

DRM for Coffee Makers? This is madness. Anything. But. This. It'll be hacked, everything always is. In the end, I'll prefer something like http://www.home-barista.com/brewing/cory-dcu-dcl-coffee-brew... Coff

Yes, he may have disagreed, but most of us aren't savants with a perfect recall strategy such as this because, well, we need the inhibition to support other functions.

If you're not reviewing your notes at least once after you've taken them, you shouldn't even bother taking them. I don't think there are very many exceptions for write-once-and-never-read notes. Note amplification is s

While Gregg shorthand is great for English, its not much use for anything technical. Many of the shorthand idioms are based on the word-sound, not the word-spelling, so it's okay if you're taking notes for yourself, reading someon

If so, it'll still be interesting to see what they've done with Haskell to make a secure operating system from the L4 model--I assume they are also releasing the Haskell source as well, otherwise there would be no point to it all.

For as much Glass hatred there is in public places, the Glass design will either be driven to become invisible and covert or modified so that people can have a sense of what the camera is doing. Glass should shine an extremely bright red LE

These are very low data-rate devices. If they do cjdns/hyperboria they would be good for high latency batched/bulk e-mail transfers and probably not much else.

We all can probably stand to use more remedial training at typing, even if we think that we're already pretty fast. Every once in a while I'll dust off [GNU Typist][0] and bash it at for ten-minutes. Unfortunately, its been nearl
