I'm all for a HSR system and I think it sounds AWESOME, but I have doubts if it would ever catch on. HSR would have to compete with the current airline system. If it's cheaper, more convenient to ride, and the time required to travel is com

I just tried Stylish add-on for Firefox. Works great except I can't seem to figure out a way to make custom styles work for only a specific page. Maybe I'm missing something but there doesn't seem to be a way. For example if you have .margi

I was getting around 500 KiB/s for the 1080p version just a few minutes into the download. You could also just rip the 1080p version from YouTube with "Easy YouTube Video Downloader" browser add-on, or a similar add-on (there are tons of th

It is down for me as well. USA here. http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/thepiratebay.se also says it's up. Not sure what's going on. Possibly an ISP level block?

I agree. I really like the Google transparency report but I would like to know WHO/WHAT government officials/organizations requested to remove WHAT links and what their basis for removal is. However, I am still glad that the transparency re

Sorta/kinda relevant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nncY-MA1Iu8 It's a TED talk about a woman claiming that sleep is the secret to success. (I only sorta/kinda agree with her but it's still an interesting point of view to consider)

I didn't quit my full time job but I got fired and ironically (although it still sucks to be fired) I am happy that they let me go because now I can work full time on my independent projects. I am poor at the moment as well and live with my

This was a pretty good article and I like that it was written with a level of candor that is fair to both sides and factually telling the information. However, it was very long and I stopped reading half way through.

So for those of us that live in the US, is it not possible for us to request to have the data that Facebook stores about us??? Related (well, maybe): You can easily download a copy of your Facebook data no matter where you are located, by l

I have found that I ALWAYS try to learn as much as I can to have a fully intimate understand of the tools that I use. However, I have also found that this has more often than not been a huge disservice to myself. For example, yesterday I go

Great, thanks. I have downloaded and am messing around with Kohana now.

So far we have 1 recommendation to use a framework, and 1 recommendation to use KohanaPHP IF you choose to use a framework. Any other recommendations or thoughts?

+1 sir. Should be revised to "Work to live, don't live to work. (unless it's your own startup)" :) Perhaps his thread can also be good lesson for those trying to run a startup, to treat your employees fairly and don't take advantage of them
