Ah that's a shame, I have pretty good coverage in Texas, but the speeds are a serious drawback. Do you know if Verizon has a "tether" restriction? If you tether with your G1 and go over a 10gb transfer quota, they will reduce you to edge sp

I'm still loving my first generation HTC G1. it's a little bulky and can be slow at times (unless I kill the processes left from applications running the background, then it's snappy), but I really enjoy it. I've heard really good things ab

Could you enlighten me as to why the missile shields were a bad idea?

by thismat 17y ago
You might look into the possibility of a deploy-able version targeting corporations that don't want to keep data like that in the cloud. While this might add considerably to support expenses, it might also be a pretty good way to tap into a

I think this would hold more weight if he hadn't backed down from the missile defense program and instead pushed hard to set it up in key points around the world. What better way to encourage peace then to start building anti-nuke stations

Please provide factual information the wars most likely relate to oil and revenge. To me the wars are more of a response to America's high state of emotion after 9/11, judging by the amount of people (even in political positions) who at the

On this same note though, there are some jobs where you do indeed have the option to avoid legal credentialing. In fact, the nuclear industry, the industry with the heaviest regulations, will let you work at a plant if you can pass their te

Not from taxes no, that's a must I'm afraid and a big downside to the whole situation. legal credentialing requirements in Texas at the time were almost non existent so we didn't have to worry about that, my parents were considered pretty r

There are plenty of people around like me who are fine with any OS and use them all for slightly different things. Don't be married to your platform, makes you much happier.

by thismat 17y ago
I can't upvote you enough, your OS does not define you, you CAN (I do) regularly use both for work and play and enjoyment and like them both.

I believe Psystar runs their own updater and supplies the pre-hacked updates to users. Is this incorrect?

the US is definitely B. Because my parents did just that, they didn't like the public (or private) schools in my area, and instead mixed homeschool/unschooling principals for me and my brothers. I don't know enough about China to say it's "

I was thinking from more of a concentrated, documented library of your productivity tips instead of a social blog, but I definitely see your point and commend you on your "productivity > x" mindset. I'll just have to start saving clips

You are a wealth of information on productivity. Everytime I see your posts there is always something of great value in them. You really should start a blog (unless you have one?) and cover these subjects there as well as I really enjoy hea

Definitely second this, my grandfather was 98lbs wet, and the kindest person I've ever known. Quiet, calm, assertive and wise...he's the reason I can't shake this desire to start my own business. He started a business in the 50s with minima

Bill Watterson had an ability to capture such emotion and life like expression with a small 2d comic strip like no other comic or graphic I've ever seen. The guy was amazing, and I love that he lives as a recluse in a town that won't give h

Really like this idea, it's a really nifty concept. On the design side of things I'm on the fence, I like the logo and serif font at the top, though I'm still unsure about the monospace caption, it's possible the entire header would look be

Indeed, I could have searched and dug around for it, but work is calling and I wanted to get in as much hackernews as possible before starting the day. Thank you for the link, will be reading up on it later as it looks very interesting.

It doesn't really solve this problem when corporations don't want to trust their data to google. It's well known that gmail doesn't comply with HIPAA/SOX and doesn't offer any kind of guarantee on data when corporations use it, this is a hu
