https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand%27s_nuclear-free_z... Yep, it's the law. Much to the chagrin of the US. Their Military has no Nuclear weapons, and the population is prett…

While not possible for everybody, a dropbox is what you want: http://www.amazon.com/Architectural-Mailboxes-6900RZ-Elephan... Effectively, your own deposit-only lockbox that any ma…

I'm curious? Why force them to give their money away? It sounds counter-intuitive to me. Teach them the value of money, but then completely negate any value by forcing them to give…

Some examples would be nice.

Meanwhile, in the UK, Amazon appear to have opted to not use existing services like the Post Office (who are capable enough to deliver packages) and gone with their own "Amazon Log…

Interestingly, Hutchinson/Three has started to remove global roaming fees from their own network. http://www.three.co.uk/Discover/Phones/Feel_At_Home?id=1229

Flipside: GCSB bill.

Do restaurant's scale? Find a bigger venue. Open another store. Maybe they should just deploy to Heroku or Appengine and have them scale to meet their table needs.

I suspect this might be down to the 'dynamically generated' maps feature in the current maps.google.com preview. Either way, unless Google has somehow managed to bypass extortionat…

Mturk can be used as a source for automation training. If you start writing bots to do the tasks, you're now the mostly-blind leading the blind.

I'd wager it's even simpler than that. At some point the signal must a) be converted from electrical to optical b) be boosted down the wire c) be converted from optical to electric…

I doubt it's changed much. Where would the traffic go? It's hard enough replacing products & services from the 'big companies' (google, facebook apple, etc) with smaller ones opera…

Depends where you are, and how old the crossing is. (from memory) The older type has a small needle on the bottom that vibrates/jabs you. But the newer crossing have the larger lar…

It's Kim DotCom. He's both figuratively and literally larger than life.

Have you tried mb_string?

What's with the last image in the carousel? It seems to take strong cues from soviet propaganda. The red flag, workers holding their tools, ready to fight. Did Manchester become th…

Does this really solve a problem? The only time I've needed to get keys cut was when I've either lost a key or moved house and needed a copy immediately. Why would I risk my securi…

The problem with self-hosting is the setup and maintenance, and risks that goes with it. I'm quite happy paying for a service because when it breaks, I can reasonably expect the pr…

I don't know if I goofed up, or chrome went mental, or something else. But I tried to use their bootstrap theme(?) and Chrome started churning through CPU and memory, stopped rende…

I do hope so. I think it looks a lot tidier.

For me, The pain isn't necessarily painful. It's closer to a dull ache that's always there. There are times where it gets worse, and it's like somebody's kicked you, and times when…

I'm not entirely sure if it's still classified as dropshipping. But I've been told that some postal services (e.g. NZ Post) are able to provide dropshipping like logistics for you.…

It's a move that makes sense sure. But it irks me that a service I've been using for however long just one day decides to cut my quota by 80%. It doesn't exactly spur me to start p…

When did you lower the number of enabled feeds to 12?
