Somewhat off-topic, but it's kind of disappointing that the intro video doesn't play on my copy of Firefox nightly on Linux -- Kickstarter videos play fine, since it seems like they provide a webm video. Error says: Awww, snap! Th

Great idea -- as a user of Musicbrainz, it's right up my alley. I went ahead and made some updates to a nutella http://world.openfoodfacts.org/product/009800895007 page, and it works as I'd expect. The Androi

It seems to serve as an "application", but if this were to ever become a repository of résumés like Linkedin (seems obvious to me), this would become a problem. Even given that it is an app, a static representation of the app alon

The first thing I noticed from Creddle (aside from the unfortunate name -- it kinda looks like "creddie" and maybe should be) is the color scheme of the first row of sample documents -- it looks like it's custom made for Slas

On a Mac, Control is always Control. It's just that it does less than it does on Windows.

"(funny that Microsoft contributed most lines of code to the Linux kernal)" is not quoted in the source material and isn't true. Please provide some proof for this claim.

I think we have different notions of what "network install" means. Yes, you can download packages from the web during the install (perhaps booting from a minimal install, as most net work installs do). I was really more interested in netboo

I've used UNetbootin, and as far as I know, there is no way to do a netboot/install without any media. I took a look at the site, and it doesn't appear to have any information about that. Are you aware of some functionality that isn't liste

I expected something interesting or insightful from your link, but it just completely seems to sidestep the idea that procrastination exists. The Wikipedia definition is "act of replacing high-priority actions with tasks of lower priority,

This is far more interesting than the linked article, mostly because it actually shows data for the music that I listen to. For example, Paul van Dyk, Three Drives, and Ferry Corsten all have "IT Specialist / Programmer" as highly over-repr

Looks kinda like Audion for Mac: https://panic.com/audion/ (at least in terms of skinning). Also, looks like Winamp hired the K-Jofol team and released a skin aping it: http://www.winamp.com/skin/k-jofol-v5/142308

Yep. But all those guys were clearly counter culture figures: drugs, terrorism, open source (that last one is so different and hard to categorize that I just called it what we know it as). Zuckerberg? Where's his support of Occupy Wall Stre

Steve Jobs alone is more of a counter culture figure, with the ashram in India, and the drug use, and the whole garage story. Zuckerberg was a kid from freakin' Harvard and Phillips Exeter. I think the Harvard thing alone disqualifies him
