I actually use a Logitech G5 mouse and a Logitech G15 keyboard and I love them both. The mouse has a really nice rubber feel, adjustable weight (which is actually a nifty thing once you realize how much that weight matters), and some reall

I know this is all mostly software, seeing as it is techcrunch, but what about hardware? Isn't Lightpeak coming out this year? I feel like that will be a big deal.

I'm not sure I understand the concept of pair programming. It seems to me that the keyboard clashes, while able to be avoided, would be rather annoying and be less efficient. I could see collaborative editors working out much better.What

I've done this. It isn't really fancy or complicated. It was the first thing I built with Django (My first web app actually!). It isn't done yet, as I still have to add syntax highlighting and better Textile support. Also, I currently a

Anyone who sends me a file in this format is going to be ignored. I have seen stupid DRM, but this is ridiculous.

I was thinking about this last night. We should start an HNideas site. Similar layout to HN, add in some areas for suggestions, maybe a button to try and form a team. It wouldn't be too hard. Maybe I'll do that tonight...

I'm currently setting up an EC2 instance to serve up my personal site using this free tier. I just need to figure out how all of this domain level stuff works.

I saw that, but in the end some of the images are only about 700x400 px. At 200 ppi (which is what t shirts should be printed at, I guess), that just isn't a high enough resolution. And I'm not sure If I really want to make it larger sinc

I'm also currently reading Godel, Escher, Bach. Simultaneously, I'm reading Coders at Work, which I am going to follow up with Founders at Work and Hackers & Painters by pg.

I am not old enough to vote yet, but I did spend 15 hours today as an election judge. While I felt that there was a decent turnout for our precinct, I did not see as many young people as I expected. There were a lot of elderly people that

This is exactly what I have been saying. I don't really understand why no one thinks this is a problem. I remember asking my mother as a kid why they were allowed to do that (having learned my Bill of Rights). She's a prosecutor, so I fig

I have been saying for a while that we should just legalize all drugs, for excalty the same reasons outlined in Paul's post. I don't care what people do to their own bodies as long as it isn't harming anyone else. However, I can see a lot

I've been teaching myself python for a while, and I just built my first Django site. It works fine in runserver, but I'm having trouble deploying it. Is anyone (OP or otherwise) willing to help me understand how to go about doing that? I

Did anyone else see that movie and feel that this had been portrayed? The Zuckerberg in the movie obviously wanted to be part of the social group, but I also got that 'building' vibe. Maybe it is just because I compared the entire movie t

I sent you an email with my application attached. If you respond I will post or summarize it on my blog with a link here. After seeing those web copy slides the other day, I believe this advice can help anyone.

Psh, everyone at my school thinks it's crazy that I stay up until 2 or 3 in the morning. That's when all of my best work gets done.

This is so odd. I just gave a quick presentation on him yesterday in theology class. The prompt was to "Use you creative genius to show God in a visual manner." I argued that we couldn't describe God in finite terms, so I used fractals b

If you post a tweet with a link to a Gist on the new Twitter interface, you can just click the tweet to see the Gist in the right pane. I imagine it would be nice to see a person's stream with the tweets on the left and a gist in the right

Has anyone seen new API features for these new groups? I want to write a script to pull members from old groups (already possible), and then add them to one of these new groups. They seem more useful, but I don't want to deal with adding

I don't know if this is strictly American though. In Italy, people are often referred to by their professional titles. We do that with doctors here, but they would say the equivalent of "Lawyer Smith" or "Engineer Jones". I only know this

Ha, I love the idea, but I have no idea how it would be implemented. If you want to make it, go ahead. I'm sure a lot of people would be interested. I'll come back once I understand how the internet works.

I'm not sure how 'useful' it would be, but what if you could overlay this on any web page you wanted, like that asteroids bookmarklet from yesterday. You could have the option to turn it on or off. Kind of an ability to see some real time

I like it for certain searches. If I'm trying to debug something, putting in the full error message doesn't always help. I start typing in part of it though, and I may get someone with a similar, but not exact issue. so it's useful for t
