oops I take that back! there is an amateur band, 33cm wavelength, from 902-928mhz. Not sure if this device transmits in the band or not. Would also depend on how much power it uses…

900 mhz is not in any amateur radio band.

Maybe switch your glass to an ice cube tray. because you do know where it will go when it overflows- to the next memory address. you just don't know what side effects that may caus…

It completely depends on the type of chemical. Your scenario imagines something like radiation. Perhaps the chemical isn't incredibly toxic and can be flushed out. If someone spill…

I don't want my fridge letting Heinz know when I'm out of ketchup so they can push ads to me either. But I'd like my fridge to tell Amazon so that new ketchup arrives when I need i…

If people were to pick one reason HN has 'gone downhill', disrespectful comment replies would top the list. A controversial feature request- when a new account reaches a negative k…

Google, George Mason University, and the NSA have been working on a secure Android kernel for a while. I doubt it will be compatible with all Android devices, but I'm sure they'll …
