I hope apps don't kill websites for the same reason I'm glad people don't build flash microsites anymore. The number one reason I prefer the web is that it's extensible! If there's…

Great idea! I see: Could not generate a preview, please check the URL is valid and does not redirect then try again. It seems like the service is down, so the error message is prob…

Kinda "useless" without links to the patches.

It's rather strange to see a QWERTY layout when using dvorak. That said, if you showed a dvorak layout to a QWERTY user, you'd have a powerful demonstration of how much less finger…

104wpm and then 96wpm This is considerably higher than I usually score (which is why I took it twice), especially considering I was on a laptop keyboard. This leads me to question …

There's also the reader extension http://labs.postrank.com/gr You can set the treshold, and it will dim out the items that are below it. It greatly increases your ability to "fly t…

> My opinion on all this is simple. The ability to access broadband internet is a right, and should be defined as an essential utility. Yawn... first world problems. Broadband is a…

I whipped a little ruby script to download the kindle versions. https://gist.github.com/1056111 The URLs are really, really, nice. You can substitute "kindle.noimages" for any othe…

Grossly misleading headline. The real title of the question is: "I need mathematical proof that the distance from zero to 1 is the equal to the distance from 1 to 2"

Where are you getting your stats from? You can access live stats via Yahoo's Fantasy Baseball API like I do in my app here http://trackstatter.heroku.com and https://github.com/rud…

This is awesome. Any plans to expose an API? This would help rescue teams that are stuck in jira or trac.

Doing both is certainly not difficult, football games feature a lot of downtime. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405274870428120457500...
