At work I'm known for having a weird sleep schedule (usually 18:00-02:00, though circumstance can push that out occasionally). I've similarly found that my days tend to be more relaxing and more productive since adopting this schedule. I

Yup; crackles abound. I pulled it up in Chromium 24.0.1312.70 to see if the sound was any better, and (most of) the crackles are gone. When > 4 notes play you still get a bit of crackle, but it's far, far better. It's sad that everyth

It's only strange at first sight. If your site depends upon browser-specific features as the sole source of a security mechanism, it stands to reason that it will turn into pain for you. This is another solid example of the lesson: if the

I actually rather like the design. I'd love to see it be able to be integrated with proper lenses (perhaps via a slick interchangeable lens system?) When I first heard of Glass, I was worried people who jumped on board would look like Geor

I think it could either enhance or diminish road safety. It all comes down to the person using the technology, though. The sort of person who would use something like Glass to use GPS or a HUD (speedo, tach, clock?) without taking their ey

If you have control over a block of IPs, you can set the PTR records to whatever you feel like. Having invalid PTR records will cause headaches for you in a limited set of cases (e.g. sane mail servers won't accept mail from a host which h
