This! People aren't realizing that in a lot of countries, english classes in the normal school system are a joke. And there are many people that don't have the resources to go to c…

I decided to check the prices on those cables and was surprised to find that some are even more expensive. For example, an AudioQuest "Diamond" USB to iPod cable runs $1,495! Here'…

What he fails to realize is that the site that just helped him depends on Google for a large portion of their traffic (and thus, revenue).

15 years?! I didn't know moderators could set arbitrary dates for a "temporary suspension". A month would be reasonable for a first offense I would think.

I like this user. He seems fun to mess with. :)

Keep in mind though, this transaction was nearly instantaneous. Bank Wire transfers take 3-4 days to complete (at least, as far as I know with normal-person quantities of money). I…

"Old people are the greatest. They're full of knowledge and wisdom." Is it ok to quote Spongebob here? In this case, I say yes.

It was up more than 1200%. Some people sure made a nice profit on that one.

I fail to see what platform opinions has to do with Ryan getting burned out from making tons of awesome sreencasts.

Awesome. I've never been to Malibu, but I can definitely see this as a useful app if I ever do decide to go. If the locals have trouble finding the public beaches, I can't imagine …

#4 is very true. Many americans I know live in a bubble (a very scientific survey, I know). They only get news from the "outside world" filtered by the talking heads on TV (no matt…

That's not always true, or maybe I'm just weird. I admit, there's a lot of feeling out of the loop with friends in a different country, speaking a different language, but it's not …

It's apparently "Sold Out" now, but the image is still the same.

There's also [Hackety-Hack]( http://hackety.com/ ), which was made to help introduce kids to programming with ruby. It uses a DSL I believe. I'm sad to say though, it looks like it…

Khan Academy is great. I was teaching my cousin (12) when I was home for Christmas and even my niece (7) was learning writing her own snippets to draw smiley faces and such. Defini…

I must admit, I haven't read the entire article, but he puts many of my own sentiments into words better than I could myself.

Well, it's a pretty far-fetched idea anyways, but, a few things to consider: - I never said you have to use wifi. You're right that radio would have a much greater range. - The mai…

Actually, there's some practical application for that. In an emergency situation where communication is down, a network of drones could be setup to provide a network for first-resp…

What's interesting is the "virus" could be combined with the second-place winner ("multidrone") to make a drone botnet instead of just having the infected drones "run amok".
