    Another neat idea: Allow the user to select their city, the make and model of the camera, and the date it was stolen. Then you can scrape Craigslist from the surrounding area and s…

    I am very excited to try this since XCode has really needed a suitable alternative for a while.

    Is the source available for your Android equivalent of BB Mobile? I'd love to take a look at adapting that for my school.

    It's an interesting link, but I fail to see how this really belongs here. If I wanted to view this, I would go to reddit. If I come here, I'd enjoy to read "hacker news" related ar…

    That's really fun to draw with. I'll have to take a look at the source and put in some different color options and such.

    It's not a competition though. This guy has been through a rough experience dealing with starting a company, and he has decided to share it with us. Not to be rude, but I'm unsure …

    Are you signed up for Apple Care? My bluetooth adapter doesn't work, and I can't send in my laptop till this summer since I do iPhone development for my school. By then though, I'l…

    I go to a 'meh' school, but it was by choice for me. I'm a math major for the theoretical background, and then a computer science major for the practical background. I do what I lo…

    The sample chapters look great, and given the creator I'm sure the book is amazing. Unfortunately, I don't have $60 to spend right now on it. I'm saving the link though for when I …

    A neat little trick that may work for you is to switch your user agent to the Google bot. Since they want their site to be indexed by it, sites sometimes will allow it.

    Greasemonkey with this script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/33325 . It adds buttons that allow you to put the entire page on one story. Hope that helps.

    Wow! I never expected to see this posted here. I'm a closet Harry Potter fanfiction reader, and I loved this story. I think it's time to re-read this again.. be back in a while.

    I believe that it will have a lot of influence in how we understand time and causation. I'm not a quantum physicist or a psychologist, but that's the gist of what I'm taking from i…

    Are you doing Android development? If so, Eclipse 3.6 isn't compatible with the ADT plugin. I had the same slow downs, but moved back to 3.5, and it works fine now. http://develope…

    Cons: I don't like the new status bar, and the bookmark manager appears to have disappeared. Pros: I like the tabs on top, and random hiccups that were occurring on OSX appear to b…

    It was enabled for me by default, and to be honest I didn't care for it at first. It's grown on me a little bit, but I'm still not sure I'll keep it. I highlight while I'm reading,…

    It's an interesting concept, but having a known wireless password really won't protect anyone. I'm perfectly able to capture all of your traffic over the air and then decrypt it. I…

    I'm hoping this update fixes the wireless issues I'm having on my mid-2010 Macbook Pro. To get an idea of how bad it is, I'm forced to use Ethernet to watch Youtube without a 5 min…

    Agreed, I would be interested in his device if I didn't already have a media server with mplayer and youtube-viewer installed. I even have a nice apartment complex that unknowingly…

    It's not always the case, but I believe it is in the majority of situations it is. I'm deeply sorry for what you went through though. Tough does not even begin to describe the utte…

    In the end of every person's life the one thing they'll have, no matter what, are the memories that they've made throughout their life.

    That's an interesting question, and it may have to do with the age of Javascript. It's really only been around for 15 years now according to Wikipedia. At that point, the web was a…

    Ah, nice timing with your message. I think we wrote the same concerns. It's not just that the servers public key can be replaced on the victim's machine, but also an attacker can s…

    Hmm, I like the idea, but I'm curious how you're handling a few things. If an attacker is able to steal your session cookies there's a reliable chance that they're already on your …
