It may be an influence, but what about those of us who've had organic grains for most our lives? I don't think it's more than correlation at this point.

By the time I've gotten to talk to someone at the booth, the last thing I want to find is that the person is a model (a "booth babe" if you will). My questions are technical and typically involve the nitty-gritty details of a

At least when your library is guaranteed to have ASCII functions and objects I can still type them. Otherwise non-ASCII libraries would be utterly useless to me.

Alternative? There's no visible way that the data is embedded in the ad which is being scanned, none that I can see, so the only way is to have the ad recognized via image comparison. Oh boy. Better, perhaps, but alternative? Nope.

Thinking back on this, I think it's entirely possible to build this product without an RTC or microcontroller. It should be entirely possible to wire up a switch, 555 timer(s), vibrator, and a battery... and easily build it for less th

Sorry, but the price I "specced out" was with the modules from Adafruit. If you actually made a custom PCB, etc, you could easily hit the $50 mark with only 10s of units, in my opinion. Especially since the processor is unimportan

They posted that it was £90. That converts to $147.71 USD today.

The idea might be good, but the price is extravagant. I think the parts should cost only $60-70, maybe less, so charging nearly $148 is laughable. Especially when I can get a nice, brand-name watch for $118 or so.

It's at least a strong tradition, if not by design. But I believe it's actually by design. I wish I had time while at work to find a link for you, but I'll give it a shot when I get home in a few hours.

You need to understand that the division in American politics is intentional. It's the entire intent of making a dual-party system: to make government less efficient. An efficient government structure with a centralized power base coul

ImageOptim and JPEGMini have both become parts of our pre-launch optimization, and they can easily save 50-70% of the image sizes.

Thermistors will help, yes, but the manufacturers need to design better enclosures for LED lightbulbs. They need fair air circulation for that heat sink to work well. And in recessed lighting it's the worst. It's a design issue of

You can value their privacy all you want, but so long as your email crosses a US, UK, or US-cooperating border your messages aren't safe. And I doubt RC4 over TLS, which most connections are, is enough to stop the NSA for more than a f

Wow, NeoMailbox is pretty expensive for the family plan. How is it better when it's 50% higher priced?

by trebor 13y ago
I like the idea, but how about a ballpark idea on what it'd cost? Your site says nothing about price.

I wonder how this would compensate for arbitrary movement of the phone. You could choose a pattern, or randomly tilt the phone as you press/slide. I'm pretty sure that if you're hurried and forget, the software could easily d

To bypass the iPhone 5S fingerprint scan requires both access to the physical phone, and a high quality fingerprint. And getting the latter as a very high DPI scan is no mean feat. And then you need a latex printer with the same 500+ DPI re

It isn't free. Someone else is paying your parent's bill, either through their own premiums (which some say have tripled, though they have no prior conditions) or through taxes. Don't judge the price till the bill takes full

I tend to leave my phone on my desk. And that goes for both at home and at work. (I don't use 2-factor authentication, so I'm not terribly worried.) All that means is someone has to walk up to my desk, knock on my phone, and steal

I'm interested in the performance characteristics of weak-node clusters versus strong-node clusters. I wonder what he'll say when HN hits his site?

Agreed. She won't be missing out on anything by skipping the "prequel" trilogy.

Dwolla doesn't charge that way because they're not billing credit cards. You give them your bank details and they do an ACH transfer with them, IIRC. I've heard both good and bad about them, but they don't have large use

This is one of the most amazing applications for illustration that I've ever seen. I can only imagine what the complexity under the hood must be like.

I know that being able to factor ~670/1024-bits isn't that impressive (overall). But the fact that it is possible to develop the software this far shows that it's mainly a hardware problem. Enough parallelization into GPU cor
