- uploads possible without registration - the bare minimum of logs saved - after a complaint they keep files online for an "inspection period" of 14 days - company in Hong Kong and registered in South America... for what reason but make lawsuits more difficult?
Don't get me wrong, I applaud their efforts. But this doesn't look legit, it looks like "let's make lawsuits very hard".
I've flown hobby-level UAV in heavy winds and a snow storm. Even a basic autopilot far exceeds what is possible to a human pilot. Having seen what stunts are possible with those quads, they are very close to being able to perform anything what the laws of physics allow. The only worry I'd have is waterproofing the thing, the increased power consumption and battery lifetime during prolonged, intensive use in the cold.
Blimps aren't effective whatsoever. You roughly need one liter of helium to lift one gramm. Plus, any kind of wind makes it impossible to head for that direction. A model sail plane should exceed blimps in most categories: power usage, max payload, speed.
IMHO, blimps only make sense above a certain threshold size, which is a very high treshold.
Thank you. CM6 can hardly be called fast on the G1, though. I've been running dwang's super-speedy rom, but would rather run a current version. I don't know if I'm missing any of the speed settings (JIT, CompCache, etc.), but toying around with them has not brought much of a improvement.
There's quite a bit of controversy around Iron, but I'm too lazy to be bothered to google the discussions for you, sorry. I think it essentially states that there was no reason for a fork and Chromium performs just as well, concerning privacy.
Silly them. If an untrained person starts to exercise, (s)he is likely to build up muscles. And muscles are heavy, heavier than fat. So if they lost a few pounds, they should've SEEN a significant difference. Losing weight is very simple: use more calories than you take in. Exercising burns trough calories quickly, and even just having more muscles burns more calories when idling than before. If you, like in the study, don't change your diet and are obese, you are probably already taking in way too much calories - or increased the amount of food you eat because your body tells you to, to compensate for the exercise. Hence, no or no significant weight loss.
I know it's not dead simple, but maybe it's still interesting to anyone reading the thread. My university's developing a realtime pair programming plugin for Eclipse, which I think is pretty cool. Check it out: https://www.inf.fu-berlin.de/w/SE/DPP
I thought of this b/c wikileaks (http://wikileaks.org/) seems to be in dire need of money or servers right now. I am sure you can think of other non-profits that could use that kind of hardware (open source projects, maybe?). You don't seem to *need* the cash if you're asking this question on/., so maybe now is the time to do some good;)
You, Sir, fail at humor. Parent was refering to/., and you just said it's like digg. Ouch!
Anyhow. I think that moderation could still improve results for some niche searches. Only techies will search for "OSI model", and I'd trust them with moderating results for me. Works quite well for/., after all.

So they send them the URLs I visit and there's an unique id. And I'm still to lazy to check out the source about how it's used...
Apparently, every installation of Chrome gets an unique id (sorry, German only) and, once you've signed into your Google account ONCE, the unique id gets connected with your account and you'll always be traceable back to your Google account, even if you're not logged in.
That's a showstopper. But I'm hoping for a spy-free version to be out soon, the beauty of open source!
AFAIK the Android phones will not be open in the OpenMoko sense, i.e. no own binary apps. But then again, you're considering an iPhone as an alternative, so yes, the OpenMoko probably isn't for you, at least not yet.
One thing you have to remember is that you're not just seeing your screen, but also the things around it (in case you don't own a 30" TFT...). So, personally I have found whatever theme resembles the colors and brightness levels of the area of my desktop (the table, the wall behind it, the amount of light etc.) works best for me, i.e. causes the least strain on my eyes. Which, as a consequence, also means that I'll at least adjust the brightness of my screen with changing daylight hours. So, this being/., go for a darkish theme matching the missing daylight in your basement.
If you read my post carefully you'll note that I wrote about an Eee 900;) Anyhow, I don't think the price premium for the 901 makes too much sense. Apparently, the Atom is not considerably faster, the only real improvement is graphics performance (which I don't care about) and a little longer battery life (but not as impressive as originally anticipated).
Slightly off topic: Asus been going crazy (sorry, German only) with the Eee! 700, 900, 901, 902, 903, 904, 904HD, 1000H, idontevenknow... Here in Germany I believe you can barely get the 900. I bought mine on eBay for a slight price premium, but with the larger battery and an American layout keyboard, which I prefer for programming/bashing.
I love my Eee 900. And I think the MSI Wind is taking things in the wrong direction. For me, the Eee is perfect because its light (1kg), small and has a solid state disk. I don't have to think about whether I'll need it, I'll just throw it in my backpack. I don't worry about it too much, it's not like I can cause any head crashes. Also, it's worth "only" 400$, so I'll happily bring it along to some bar or something while going out. It's the same risk as bringing your Ipod or fancy cell phone. The MSI Wind OTOH: a little heavier, a little bigger (too much for taking notes & browsing at my desks!), and fitted with a conventional hard drive. C'mon, what do you need that kind of space for? I barely use the 20GB the Eee gives me. And my photos and videos and music and whatnot are stored somewhere else, safe and sound. Last but not least, the Wind is quite pricey, which would make me worry about and take of it more.

That's market cap for Facebook and purchase price for Tumblr, so that is "per user" (for the lifetime of the user/company).
I like your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter. Or whatever.
A quick googling shows that both the Facebook and Twitter API support deleting. I'm tempted to build this.
Looking at figures for Facebook and and Tumblr, it seems somewhere between $5 to $20 per user is a ballpark figure.

They tested in a VM. Now where's the proof that by itself doesn't affect performance in an unpredictable way?
Thank you.

What rom are you running? I'm still looking for a fast stable rom for my G1.

The Opera CTO Håkon Wium Lie had a talk at our university and I think just to prove a point, he wrote one of his books in HTML. Go look into that.
She said that the components cost about $350 as is.

Isn't that already true for GMail? Everyone here seems to agree that the EULA is taken directly from other Google services, GMail being one of them.
