This looks very much like the Rommoss car charger. I have one for my laptop. This gets its source from 12V DC instead of AC, but the rest works the same. Usb port and automatic voltage sensing circuitry. You just need a specific cable for w

I use a standing desk. When I first started out, I spent a lot of time thinking about how I could make a standing desk that I could raise and lower. I looked at taking apart office chairs and using the hydraulics, I looked at possible crank

Someone did an article on HN recently where they were taking back their branding back from various social media outlets. They essentially just added some redirect urls. So domain.dom/plus went to their Google+ page, and domain.dom/

>Another benefit of this time saving is that you don't have to go right back to work. If you have 30-60 minute lunch window, most people spend the bulk of that time obtaining and consuming food. Imagine having your thermos at the re

They have (somewhere), but even more interesting is that they are kind of treating this in a sort of open source manner. They either plan to (or already have) publish the recipe. It's not going to be a trade secret, and they expect com

Reading your other comments, it seems you've already formed a negative opinion of this product based on your existing lifestyle. Hopefully I can explain it a way that makes sense. I have plenty of time to make food, but it's not j

Ahh.. this takes me back to when you had your page on something like Angelfire or Geocities and someone else would provide free guestbook or "contact us" type forms. You just had to plunk some code into your html and go. This is t

Check out Codebox.io, another open source web ide. I've been comparing the two from a self-hosted standpoint. c9 definitely has the more polished interface (for instance, the ability to resize any pain), but codebox doesn't seem t

My "goto" for shell scripts is http://echoip.org/ , though I recently setup my own such script as well. It's a one-liner in PHP, though having some json output alternatives would be useful as well.

I've used autotype before and it works fantastic, but you have to be super careful with it. It basically switches back to the last window you had open and immediately types your username and password in. It is very easy for this to typ

This looks interesting. I looked at their site and documentation for implementing a client (once they are up and running). Do they provide any other information about their goals? Do you know if they have a goal to let anyone run a Layer se

For public facing web site/blogs, everyone using the same CDN might make your page load faster because there's a good chance a visitor to your site already loaded it from a CDN. So initially I was all for using NetDNA's CDN (

Most of these are $200-$400 in price range. These are full computers (just with limited storage). If Google starts charging in a few years, you can convert it over to a full desktop with [Crouton]( http://www.howtogeek.com/16

I bought a really expensive coffee maker that comes with a 3-month supply of coffee beans from a 3rd party supplier. I chose this pricier coffee maker over a competitors because of that included supply made up the difference. That supplier

From what they said about these reading sensor data, I'm picturing a factory, industrial, or field type scenario. I'm picturing a very small embedded computer with some sensors attached and an internal ssd. Referencing a 1.5gb OS

I hate using Lync for group conversations, but I feel compelled to point out that it also works on Mac OSX. If you don't need the video/desktop sharing (which crawls after you get more than 8 people involved), you can use Pidgin&#
