The sugar thing certainly tallies with my experience. I've never done a glucose tolerance test, but something about sugar highs, followed by deep crashes, sounds very familiar. I ended up largely eliminating refined sugar from my diet. I st

Way ahead of you! I use the IE9 one of these.

My iPhone 4 has a couple of velcro strips (sewing section in WalMart) stuck on the back. This really helps with identifying back and front, and not sliding off sofa arms, and also lets me put it down quietly. Plus it's useful if I want to a

So you've seen the mess they've made of the basic bookmarklet? It's absolutely a complete joke. Do you want to separate your tags by comma??? WTF???

Here's how to export all your links to an xml file: https://user:pass@api.del.icio.us/v1/posts/all This worked just fine, as of Friday 02:43 CDT. Just substitute in your own username and password.

I believe the video showed the final stage vehicle flipping using thrusters in orbit, then re-entering engine facing Earth.

Sadly, Apple do not yet have their own orbital launch capability... though maybe it's not so far fetched looking at the characters that do!

"I've heard it said for years that studies show the number of bugs grows roughly linearly with code size and that this holds true across any programming language." I have absolutely no reason to doubt this, but I suspect this does not look

For people that are just 'starting out' and also people that just want to keep their hand in, it's really a good idea to practice writing small pieces of intricate code like tokenizers, string processing etc., rather than just selecting the

Here's the text I was thinking of when I wrote that: "So I was scared shitless when after RSVP'ing I see faces of all my facebook friends and an offer to invite them. I always thought you had to do the whole facebook connect crap before web

I really like that it's instant and super lightweight. Those are valuable traits. You might want to consider carefully how you change the time input. What you have now is the minimum possible input to specify a 24 hour range. You might want

Accessing facebook.com/watmough ('deleted' account) shows 'content currently unavailable'. This used to be my account. Accessing facebook.com/jonathanwatmough (likely not an account) shows standard 'page not found error'. Deleting a fb acco

You might want to make an actual readme for GitHub instead of posting the default Rails one! Plus your overthehump link is broken (at the top of the GitHub page). Neat, congratulations, this looks really useful. There's probably a startup i

If I understand, the binaries need to also be signed by the private keys belonging to the 'owner' of the firmware / machine. This presumably means Intel and/or Microsoft. The implication is that, to get on the machine in trusted mode, you h

If you don't immediate terminate your fb account when you see this, you're like one of those people who can't leave their abuser. That's just all there is to it. Just as a matter of interest, has anyone ever taken a close look at what's act

Bearing in mind 'spooky action at a distance', shouldn't we be expecting to see some kind of mechanism that would imply some kind of particle accounting behind the scenes, that might appear as objects or information moving faster than the s

I'm avoiding web-sites that do this. Some of them actually exactly reenact this cartoon: http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/server_attention_span.png

Yes, exactly, for example if you use 1680x1050 on a MBP 1920x1200 screen, the text takes on a really nice look, similar to using a soft pencil. I was totally stoked to find the HP can simulate that really nicely by turning the sharpness adj

Would that have been running NT back then, perhaps the MIPS version? The environment does look like Visual C of which 1.0 came out somewhere in the 94-95 time-frame if I'm remembering it correctly, though it might have been just a tad earli

Absolutely my favorite resolution, and is what's currently setup on my HP ZR24w, as well as deliberately defocussed a couple of notches to fuzz the text up a bit. In comparison to the $2000 and $10000 crts, this is a great monitor with an i

When I was working a full-time job, I found I could be super productive between 7am and 9am before most other people got in, then I wouldn't really get a huge amount done beyond supervisory and mentoring type work until 8pm or so when I cou

Very nice, but one suggestion, the 'dashboard' view might benefit from showing a sequence of graphics that show either the status of the last x number of runs: X X X ok ok ok X ok obviously color-coded to stand out, or at a minimum s

Sounds like this might be a cheap way to the touchscreens that Windows 8 users will be demanding. It is absolutely not going to make any sense at all to ship a Windows 8 laptop without a touchscreen, though as seems to be the case sometimes

There's some Core 2 Duo-replacements in the 2 core i5s and 7s. http://www.anandtech.com/show/3876/intels-core-2011-mobile-r... Clocks are 2.2GHz to 2.7GHz, all hyper-threaded. Dual and quad-core. Quite interesting stuff, though I might be

Interesting. I guess that means that he drove one of my favorite Macs, the IIfx, £5,000+ of sheer power, 100x better than the equivalent PC, if you could afford one. NuBus, color QuickDraw, opening up the Mac, etc. He must have badly missed

Yes, quad-core Sandy Bridge is incredible, even on the low-end of the scale with the i52400. It seems like the power-savings in Ivy Bridge will allow a further transition of this tech down to smaller form-factors. I wonder if the non-premiu

This is great, but you have to have a manager that looks beyond how all the idiots are working so much 'harder'. Aye, there's the rub.
