I just finished this, too. Interesting, but a little exhausting. I wonder if it at all inspired paranormal activity.

My wife was part of a data startup. They'd take freely available epidemiology data, massage it into a spreadsheet, and sell it to pharma. They do really well, but only because they know their data and they know that their customers know tha

I might use it if you would include spaced repetition learning as a service. For example, I would like to get a text message or even an email at some user defined interval (every 6 hours, once a week, etc.) with words in the list selected b

similar idea here, too. Called it deathgrip. We'd hold on to your information until you died. Impossible to get traction. People don't tend to think much about dying. Those who do simply leave this information with their lawyer.

ooh, my wife hates that. I typically fix our cars myself when they break. When something starts making noise that I can't diagnose, I do everything I can to make it worse hoping it'll help me figure out the problem. Apparently, that's count

this is why I do squats almost every day. If I don't die in my car or get cancer, my fam hx says I'll live to be 95. I want to be able to go to the bathroom by myself when I'm that old.

You're paying a premium because this guy has talent... well, $5 worth of talent, at least.

That's the one-time fee. You still have to pay $0.007 per hour.

looks like an akai LPK25. The nanoSERIES keyboard is really hard to play - not very sensitive, keys are more like buttons. Used LPK25's are going for about $40 USD on ebay. Hoping to get one soon.

My loans were subsidized (stafford) and locked into a VERY low rate for 10 years. I could have paid them off quickly, but my plain old savings account had a much higher rate of return than what the loan cost. It took me 9.5 years to pay the

Seconded... Unless your situation requires it, don't be in such a rush to grow up.

Yes, the whole idea is the car is smart enough to maintain a speed. You're right about having problems in the mountains. If someone doesn't want their car to downshift, they'd just slow down by lifting and returning to the zero point. I thi

I want a global movement to make the acceleration pedal actually affect acceleration, not horsepower as it does now. Imagine a pedal with a dead spot in the middle that represents 0 acceleration. Pushing down on the pedal increases the rate

I'd say your Rich White Guy problems are getting the best of you. For every successful person here, there are a thousand* of us who are obsessively checking reddit, facebook, reader, and email. You need to take control of your thoughts. You

Wait, What? Normal people don't know what kinds of cars are sitting in their local junk yards? heh... somehow we knew it was there. I grew up in a family of backyard mechanics and my brother had a 924 parts car in the driveway. He gracious

You load the contents of a web page into a string and use a regex to grab the data. HA! Just kidding about the regex.

If I chip my car to increase boost until the engine grenades itself, I'm not sure I'd be headed to the dealer for a warranty replacement.

If you get the chance, take an older M Roadster for a spin. They're silly fun and are getting really cheap.

heh... mine is an '88 924S. For anyone who's interested, there is a ton of support for DIY'ers out there who want to build a car. The bmw and porsche forums are awesome. I imagine there's a great forum out there for any car worth racing.
