actually I think you can just stick some electrical tape over the data pins in a standard USB cable. not sure how this device does anything different.

I upvoted this, because I think it's definitely a good way to stay focused (and I should be doing a better job of it, too). but the issue with his analogy is that brushing your tee…

The cost of switching is a high barrier for many people. Changing from Windows to Ubuntu requires you to find equivalents for all of the software you need. Changing from your brows…

Thanks so much. I had to do this just earlier today and ended up using a tmp file.

I would recommend making a Facebook VM if you really want to get on. This helps on two fronts: 1) You must REALLY want to get on facebook if you go through the extra step of bootin…

In the future, they should create the microholes and keep the logo dimly lit in the orientation that faces the user when they open the laptop. Once the laptop is open, the array of…

Or, direct plug-in to PCI-E like the revodrive.

For me, only my closer friends are on G+. Unfortunately, this is the same group of people who don't post on FB, so similarly, my G+ is pretty quiet. It's nice though - really cuts …

really impressive and fast work! for me, however, I would like to see an implementation of Dalvik VM as a "card" similar to how they've managed to boot Ubuntu/LXDE as a "card". Tha…

Yes, I've read some reports about the hardware cost being in the neighborhood of $300. Definitely not zero margin.

I HATE these chairs too. However, someone recently told me that they come in different sizes, so maybe mine was just the wrong size for me. I've also heard that what seems comforta…

Well, sure. As the economy moves to be more global, jobs previously held by the US are now moving to China. Just a few weeks ago Goldman Sachs announced layoffs in the US, but adde…

Dropbox's sync indicator is still in the corner for me, just as it always has been, so it seems to work fine. How is everyone's alt-tab performance? I've been trying to like it, bu…

Unfortunately, just by glancing at article, you can see that they made comparisons by picking poor photographs on flickr and beautiful, colorful images for 500px. Bias much?

Could you add 'rm -rf' to histignore? I remember it works with patterns but can't remember if you can use it for specific commands. I'm not on my linux box now so I can't test it.

Not that I know of, but I bet we could pull enough people together to make this a regular thing. In fact, I wouldn't mind volunteering some time to get this started.

How did they have this already ready? Was this a previous phone design that they just rendered with Windows Phone 7, or had they been working with Microsoft already?

Try Shift-Ctrl-Alt + Arrow key. I just tried it in Chrome on ArchLinux and Gnome.

(My parents are from Taiwan, they came to the states for grad school, I was born in the US) To reply to your last statement: Some of the families that we know continue to disciplin…

I'm surprised that there's no LTE. Isn't Verizon's new network supposed to be up and running soon?

There is a reviews section on both sites that have pretty decent contributors. I've looked up many a component/bike there to get a good idea on what's worth it and what isn't. Some…

One idea i've really been thinking about is traffic analysis over time. Where I live, traffic is highly variable. If I leave 5 minutes later one morning, there might be no traffic …

ive had the same experience. i set up a wiki for a large multi mil project for a group of non technical employees, and brought so much additional work on myself (can you edit x pag…

Does LogicAid ring a bell? I dreaded that class, but it really showed you how to pace yourself. This is a great modernization!

I've been trying all sorts of ways to "speed" it up. Logging in/out of gmail, different browsers, going through the blog link, etc. I guess you just get it when you get it, like th…
