    >Reload multiple times, the server seems to be hammered.
I wonder why ;)
TobbenTM··on Prison Switcharoo
But would it not be sufficient to count p?

If switch A starts out in the ON position it would equal one 'fake' prisoner. If the counter just counts one extra (which equals p - 1 (himself) + 1 (fake prisoner) = p) it should be enough, no?

TobbenTM··on Prison Switcharoo
The prisoners will only turn on switch A twice. After that they will leave it, and rather toggle the B switch.
TobbenTM··on Why don’t we have paid versions on the Android market?
Perhaps worth mentioning that this article is almost two years old, and I believe certain things have changed at google since then.
TobbenTM··on Show HN: Sublimall, SublimeText synchronized
Correct.

MX Settings OK, SPF not OK.

Also only for Mac. Should say in title.
TobbenTM··on For Nearly Two Decades the Nuclear Launch Code Was 00000000
This reminds me of this scene from the movie Spaceballs; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6iW-8xPw3k

It's how I imagine the commanders get the code.

TobbenTM··on Progress toward 3D printing lithium-ion batteries
That's because they use a broken string type.

TobbenTM··on Once-great SSD manufacturer OCZ filing for bankruptcy
Depends on the model of the SSD.

Personally, I have had 3 different Revodrives, all of which have failed. The last one I sent in, and asked to get a more reliable disk back, and I got a Vector. So far so good. Keep away from Revodrives.

TobbenTM··on AdMob Student App Challenge
Sadly, the site seems to be down (http://www.google.com/ads/admobchallenge)
TobbenTM··on Hipster CEO
And to truly be hipster; iOS only.
TobbenTM··on Microsoft Brings Real-Time Collaboration To Free Office Web Apps
Because large parts of the target audience for this feature only uses IE? I work with many companies that will take use of this feature, and none of them use any other browsers than IE. Wether or not IE is any good is irrelevant.
TobbenTM··on Ask HN: What external displays do you guys use?
Personally I like more smaller screens. On my workstation I am currently running 6 24" FullHD monitors. (Mostly because I can, but also _very_ handy for programming)
TobbenTM··on Show HN: Make your app handle going offline
Usability depends on app.

Take Trello for example, super useful when working with teams and on boards with a lot of activity.

TobbenTM··on iOS 7 colors
Sort of unreadable text.

TobbenTM··on Delivery By Drones
I would think one of the best way is to have a drone operator take control of the drone when it has reached it's delivery location, in order to ensure a safe delivery. This would require you to keep a drone operator at hand, but if you have multiple drones in air at the same time, it might pay off.
TobbenTM··on Tesla's $110,000 Model S is now Norway’s best-selling car
That, and the USD is quite cheap.
TobbenTM··on A 3D printed toothbrush for all your teeth
And similarly, a more fluid/watered out paste to ease appliance.
TobbenTM··on Fun Things to do with a Raspberry Pi (2012)
Also: FM Radio transmitter. (Which will also be my next project) :)
TobbenTM··on Apple's fingerprint scanner may be the biggest leap in payments since the C-Card
Because NFC is being implemented in payment terminals today, and seems to be the upcoming default payment system. With encrypted card details on the SIM card. This will also allow you to pay without battery power on the phone.
TobbenTM··on Android shuffling letters in input
Make sure your screen is clean. If there is dirt that triggers a touch, that happens to be in the text, the cursor will jump there.
TobbenTM··on Tor usage doubles in under a week, and no one knows why
Using only Google search to measure the increase would not be enough though. There are other really popular search engines in russian.

TobbenTM··on Ask PG: Can I name drop 'Hacker News' on a t-shirt design and sell it?
The link does not work

TobbenTM··on Kim Jong-il's Sushi Chef
No, that was the man who visited him later.

"..and the last time a North Korean made the journey to visit him in Japan, a decade ago, he was there to kill him."

TobbenTM··on Ask HN: What to do with a Raspberry PI?
Something I have done recently: read bandwidth consumption off the firewall and use the Raspberry Pi to control two tachometers to show the bandwidth at all times. Haven't quite nailed the tachometer frequency generation, but I'm close.
TobbenTM··on Google Wants To Operate .Search As A “Dotless” Domain
Current browsers search whenever you type anything into the address bar. I don't see any reason to change that and add a cumbersome 'http://search. The http:// should indicate you are not using the browsers search shortcut.
TobbenTM··on Jedi Knight 2 And 3 Source Code Released
There is also the matter of missing assets.
