I don't think that this is entirely fair. http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2013/10/01/dining/nacho-g... You could probably argue convincingly that sugar and doritos are actually more compelli

Or, more cynically, that Snowden is a plot to eradicate expectation of privacy everywhere. From Smith V. Maryland. "If the Government were suddenly to announce on nationwide television that all homes henceforth would be subject to warr

It's kind of absurd. I'm working with Restore the Fourth, who, to my knowledge, is one of the only groups who is keeping on the surveillance message. It's frustrating. I don't believe the US should spy on foreign citizen

Hyperboria is a technology that is in it's infancy, and is currently woefully underdeveloped. If you don't like contributing to the development of the Internet, maybe you could contribute instead to another network that runs a lit

VFW / Veterans -- their brothers died for our freedoms, now our own government is taking those freedoms away. This is the demographic we need.

Gosh, this is amazing. I'd love to see a framework like this for audio.

Yeah, soundcloud is OK. Unfortunately, their file limits are frustrating and I'd just as soon launch without their social features. It's a lot more like flickr than it is imgur.

I thought that there was no way to track how many people buy bitcoins. Would this exclusively be through a public market, then, or is bitcoin less anonymous than I thought?

This is a very interesting potential experiment, and I would love to see this. Is there any way to track adoption of Bitcoin? I would wager that it's more popular inside a financial crisis (like gold hoarding). Does the anonymous nature of

Awesome. tmux is not on my SSH but screen is so I will be learning to use that. If I use the mySQL database/webclient that my webhost (bluehost) offers on cpanel, do you think I can install Chive at a later date and make the switch fairly s

Man, thanks so much for suggesting SSH, I don't know why I never thought of it before, but it has totally changed the game for me.

I'm using bluehost, if that helps. My random clicks indicate that they support Ruby, PHP, and Perl, as well as apache, which I think? means I can install whatever I want? I tried following an apache guide once but was in pretty deep over my

Oh, I actually have a bluetooth keyboard. I also have a chrome netbook, but they end up being about... equal frankly.

Hah, this was my impression of PHP. I am fine with static HTML design, I get CSS, tables, and I've set up a bootstrap site or two. I don't know anything about interacting with a database, which (I think) is where I need to go next.

by sroerick 14y ago
oh, yes, I didn't even think about this. I've wanted to learn vi for a while now, too! Thanks! So, my plan is to try and weild PHP, mySQL, CSS, HTML and, (ugh) some Javascript. Does this seem like a good goal to shoot for?

Just wait. ChromeOS netbooks are gonna be free, with a 3g contract. ChromeOS is dropping this year.

Don't forget, though, AD stands for Anno Domini, which means "in the year of our Lord." Which is a little more than just acknowledgement.

It's a romance story where everyone dies at the end. What's the target demographic? Guys? No, too much romance. Girls? No, too SFX heavy and everyone dies. Don't say James Cameron can't play to a crowd.

As a student, google voice saved my ass on more than one occasion. I landed in the hospital for 4 days, with no cell phone reception. If I hadn't been able to send texts over wifi with voice, I don't know what I would have done. I had my do

This is a really interesting user experience shift, given the minimalist nature of chrome. It's almost like a little HAL box.

What if as Julian Jaynes says consciousness is a social creation rather than a biological one? Machine social interaction would be tremendously different and could be incapable of sustaining consciousness.
