One of the first things I do with a new car is get rid of the branded license plate frames. I seem to be a minority though, as most people either don't seem to care, or can't wield a screwdriver.

Original Sim City didn't have subways, just railways with very sparse commuter trains. I tried the all-rail town, too. There was a persistent alert to "build more roads".

There's also a BBC series titled The Wonderful World of Albert Kahn that includes a selection of images and film with a little commentary thrown in for context. I really enjoyed it. http://www.bbcshop.com/history/the-wonderful-world-of-alb

I'd love to see the ability to print (with the wonderful formating in-tact, and none of the interface) directly from my Gists. There are various bookmarklets out in the wild that attempt to do this, all of which are of course broken after t

If you're interested in that type of connection, I'd say it's unavoidable. Im not even very active, nor do I have a complete profile and I still get pestered.

Do you have a LinkedIn? I'm constantly contacted with offers for positions (full and part time) in areas of my expertise.

I know this could go on, but I think Debian should be mentioned. The Ubuntu team themselves refer to it as "the rock upon which Ubuntu is built." http://www.debian.org/

Maybe not a great enough hack for you, but it's still a hack by definition; using something beyond it's intended purpose.

I don't see anything but through-hole components here, and I don't think anyone would encourage a beginner to dive into a surface mounted design as their first project. http://www.element14.com/community/themes/images/raspberrypi...

Waited in line for it the day it was released and still carry a first-gen in my pocket everyday. An amazingly solid piece of hardware. I know I'm missing out on new features, but I can't help wondering just how long it will go for.

Defining colors with the non-W3C-defined term 'colour' is cute, but annoyingly inconsistent with browser terminology.

Minor nitpick given the scope of these additions, but his use of a boolean argument to enhance implode is not my favorite. implode(',', $array, true) A new function (or even leaving it the way it was) is far more readable. implod

They've taken some liberties in correcting (arguable) flaws in standard stylesheets, ex. setting cursor:pointer on form buttons, but I like all that they've chosen to include. Never been a fan of full reset stylesheets, but there's a really

While it's notable Google is sharing this information, I don't see anything that stands out from the norm in datacenter policies and design. The data destruction procedures might be a step beyond most, but this is pretty standard stuff for

I'm aware of the sorting algorithm. So, worst case, you'll end up reading a new comment with no votes and not know it. This is by design; fresher comments appear at the top so they have a better chance of being read, and up voted if applica

AFAIK, comments are still sorted by weight. Is it that hard to just look for the top (literally) comments?

New class-based generic views are awesome. This is how it should have been from the start.

The htmlentities issue isn't anything a little upstream logic couldn't fix; just the same as Django's templating engine does. <?= $name ?> is my preferred method of printing inline, which shortens it up quite a bit.

Instead of running it once per day, you could run it hourly. Rank the items with the same algorithm, but take into account time left on the auction. An item expiring soon that scores really high could be purchased early so it doesn't get aw
