Any HVAC system installed or revamped in the past 15 years is likely to have a programmable thermostat. Whether people are using these _correctly_ or not (which as others have touc…

Yes, I did try it out-- for me at least, on FF/Win7, it just inserts about 20 whitespace characters.

isn't the same auto-correct system in TextEdit.app available by default in any cocoa text-fied on OS X? And if you think that system 'mostly sucks', perhaps it is because you are v…

I don't get what the 'insert line divider' is meant to be. It seems to just insert a large, fixed amount of whitespace characters?

looks like its basically just the reference implementation of the MGC3130 chip, with an arduino library for i2c communication.

Anyone from the project here care to elaborate on the niceties of this dedicated chip? I'm currently putting finishing touches on a project with a swipe-based (touch, not hover) in…

There's nothing new in Autodesk buying up everything they can get their hands on in the parametric modelling space, but I was surprised to see recently that they have made a rash o…

Target has their own line of credit and debit cards which they push aggressively in-store, I assume these plans pertain to those.

The difference is that harboring conflicting and controversial viewpoints is part and parcel of the mission of a University.

I can see this being big with the media-art crowd for installations if it has any sort of real graphics oomph. From what I've heard the pi is just barely capable of hd video, anyon…

The public school you attend is not generally viewed as a free market decision as only certain members of society have the economic freedom to 'select' a different one, and public …

Did Starbucks get VC funding?

So surprised (pleasantly) to see this! The original Eliss is still one of my favorite games. Last I heard though you were working on Faraway? What's the status of that project?

...an "aging" ~two-year-old laptop with a top of the line processor?

Ditto. I can't imagine they didn't discover this during the submission process -- seems like a strange decision to go ahead with it..

I can't claim to be well-versed on this story, but I would like to point out that a couple weeks ago the author of this piece was accused of misrepresenting the issue in the local …

Isn't this just the standard 'Windows is woefully insecure' problem? I would be curious to see how this works in the browsers on OS X.

...isn't this at least the world's third or fourth private cloud appliance?

Curious to see this today, as the FF enterprise mailing list has been filled with grumbling this week about FF's inability to auto-update itself or its plugins, and the headaches t…

Funny; all this time I thought the goal of entrepreneurship was to build a sustainable business.

I'm guessing you changed it since this feedback, but I really like the current color scheme. The lighter-grey bubbles around the actual code do a nice job directing focus to the im…

I'm not really seeing why I would want the label of the section in question hidden when I'm dealing with it, and at least for me there's not really a parity between 'dealing with' …

I recently spent the better part of a day trying to figure out this seemingly-straightforward problem, so if you do go down this road I'd recommend a tool called wkhtmltopdf: http:…

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned how badly in need of proofing this content is. I just looked through a handful of sections but the ones I saw were littered with missing words, o…
