   This is great. On an unrelated note, I wanted to give GitHub a big high-five for their non-profit organizational discounts. Tech companies that provide non-profit discounts really help non-profits where technology expenses are often under-a

   I help run the Science on a Sphere systems at the Science Museum of Minnesota. As a matter of fact we just hosted the user's conference, bringing people together from all over the US, Mexico, and various parts of Asia who run these sys

   Blast from the past. We actually built Soda Constructor into our science museum traveling exhibit on robots (Robots and Us), way back in the early 2000s: http://www.robotsandus.org/moving/smmconstructor/

   Does this mean that if I currently work at a non-profit developing open source software--not our primary goal, just sharing tools we make--that I'm jeopardizing our 501(c)(3) status?

   This is neat, but I am confused why you wouldn't want to just tie location to geography and not country (aka nationality, a squishy and shifting idea). Why not just use UTM? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_

   I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you, but here's some relevant explanation of their color choices which largely seem to have been chosen for consistency with previous publications: http://pubs.usgs.gov/sim&#x2F

    You're right. It isn't enough. But neither is silence. It's certainly worth my 95 seconds to participate in this democracy in some fashion. Wouldn't you be outraged that the FCC didn't listen to you when you spoke,

    This looks great, and reminds me of AutoIt on Windows in some ways.

    I know it's heretical but I just can't get past his audible humming/moaning. I tried...I wish I could. I love it when Keith Jarrett does it, but for some reason Gould's voice just pollutes the music for me.

    You (and me) are in the most powerful group to do something about this issue. First off, check that you are never participating in the behavior you don't want to see. I'm amazed how often I have to check myself. Second, use your p

    I once pulled up to a parking ramp gate. A recorded voice asked me to "please take the ticket." I was fumbling for something in my car and no one was behind me, so I just sat there for a minute. The voice repeated, "please ta

    Thanks for pointing this out. It's difficult to discover by just browsing the homepage. I was really hoping that this would be a desktop system. Are there any tools like this that are targeted at Mac OS or Windows?

    This is flawed in its effects. While it may result in more coders, they will be concentrated in the areas with the available money to pay them more. I'd argue that this is very similar to what we are doing already. Programming is chasi

    Ships in WWII used to use techniques like this as well. I saw a great exhibit on camouflage at the Imperial War Museum that featured quite a few examples of this: http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/
