Similar to this, I noticed a pretty crappy thing Google are doing on Youtube on the ipad last night. I did a youtube search and went to tap the first result only to have it replace…

Having become hooked on watching the feeds over Christmas I actually have been thinking about going to the next one.

You've probably already seen it, but in case you haven't: her talk at 30C3 was excellent and is worth a watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-2k6TMPMRo

I don't quite know why, but I want that carpet.

Wasn't it similar with Japan in the eighties?

You'd also have to include flyovers and opportunities for refuelling. The route would end up looking like a piece of cooked spaghetti was dropped on the map.

I assume Venezuela could give him a passport or some sort of temporary travel document. How they're going to actually get him to Venezuela without the plane being forced down and s…

If this document is genuine, it's a little ironic that they forgot to include his middle name.

They might mean for launching apps by typing and using auto-completion. Here's my personal story with Windows 8. I built a PC about a month ago after using macs for several years. …

Thanks for reminding me about them! I ordered a catalogue from them a couple of years ago but never got around to ordering anything. I'll definitely take another look.

I'm not sure I'd say that most commercial seed stock is hybridised. I'm in the UK too and in my experience most varieties you can buy are still the kind where you can harvest seeds…

narcissistic personality disorder?

I had a small remote control toy car when I was a child. One day I got freaked out when I heard voices coming out of it. It turned out I wasn't going mad, the thing was picking up …

Let's face it though, no music quite conjures up the feeling of Geocities like a terrible midi version of a beck song. Should have included a few "under construction" GIFs too IMO.…

That's not really a good analogy. The 'F you, pay me' guy was talking about being assertive and sticking up for yourself in the face of clients who are trying to get you to do work…

I've never wanted growl on my system, and yet somehow it keeps ending up on there without my seeming to have any say in the matter. At least this has given me the reason to uninsta…

I had a similar experience at around the same age. In my case it was Douglas Adam's 1990 documentary for the BBC called Hyperland. All about the Internet and the web before I'd eve…

For your database example he'd be absolutely right to do so. Removal of inconsistencies is a detail that too many programmers think isn't important, but something as simple as a co…

The design is ok, but I don't like the way they've broken usability, standards and everything else. I had hoped people would have learned from the Gawker disaster that requiring ja…

The other commenters said most of it already but here's what I do. I follow multiple headline accounts (BBC, Sky, Al Jazeera, Reuters etc), those tweets usually have a headline and…

I use it almost entirely as a news feed, I only very occasionally post things myself.

Anyone in the channel could have posted it from their own IRC logs - most IRC programs will allow you to log everything you see. That they've censored the nicknames of the people t…

That's easy to say when you're not the one being sued by a company with very deep pockets.

There's a Robotics subreddit. It's not super-busy but it seems to get a couple of submissions per day. http://www.reddit.com/r/robotics/

The world needs more hacking gentlemen, with a monocle and their own mahogany-panelled laboratory.
