Would it be possible to use this on the server to create complicated PDF files for download (react -> sketch -> pdf), without using something like this current process (react dom -…

There was lots of new recently about Guinness moving away from isinglass so that should be vegan friendly soon too! In wine they also use egg whites to filter it, my dad get some k…

What are the best ways you have come across or deal with photographs in a large and distributed international company, we have multiple offices all over and have not found a good w…

You can get an aircraft to circle and act like a low orbit geostationary tower, while a balloon is going to travel wherever the wind takes it.

I have had Tinnitus for a long time and recently I have been seeing a specialist about it. One important point is that Tinnitus is a symptom and not a cause, so if you think Tinnit…

I really don't see why investors would be too interested, but good luck to you anyway. My company was going to build a $50mil solar farm in Nigeria and we couldn't find enough inte…

wow \x is great, I never knew about that.

Maybe because it's nice sitting next to a window?

Thanks for this recommendation... I will definitely check out the book myself. I went off the rails a bit and tried something complex in my final year of university with a sensor i…

There are exceptions to every rule, in Zimbabwe you could have 24/7 electricity and a fibre optic internet connection in some areas, and I can't even get fibre to my place in South…

I think one of the best examples I know of is Cape Town, but it is definitely a microcosm compared to the rest of Africa. There is an initiative to create a silicon valley environm…

I am not a fan of the desktop version but the BB10 version works perfectly for me... Are you sure the software is up to date?

For new users perhaps it is a bit of a leap for them to take, but don't you think they can overlook this fact because they know they are working with a new operating system? Once y…

Blackberry has no front-facing buttons and also uses only a gestures-based interface.
