How does one look up what patents Shazam has? or is this a situation where it's possible but any patent worth a penny obfuscates the owner?

What about recurring to-dos?

Ah, trip down memory lane. I wasn't involved in this scene but around the same time there were vbulletin forums dedicated to hacked FTPs that allowed FXP transfers. The exploits were well known so any FTP was quickly overrun with people trying to fill up the HD faster with dir after dir of reserved names.... I had one on Interland for what felt like ages....

Ahh, good times...

Yes, it's a bit infuriating that bezels keep getting smaller while the physical phones keep on getting bigger (not just iPhones).

I donate to local charities because I can see the results and I can trust the administration to give the majority of the funds to the people/purpose who need it.

Usually it's run by volunteers or a religious organization (provided their mandate is to provide help regardless of the receivers religion).

Are there any charity organizations with totally transparent accounting? I don't need nor expect charity organizations to be run by volunteers, and I'd prefer them to pay their administrators/employees a reasonable wage. But I have no idea which organizations user their donations efficiently.

I just checked it out, not really what I'm looking for. but thanks

How do Radio Shack Realistic Minimus 7's compare to these?

While somewhat on the subject of window utilities: Is there a program that lets you make say a virtual desktop, then draw a box around a section that you can then take to your real desktop?

It would be handy to have for programs that are overly buttony and ribbony that you know well enough to navigate keyboard only (or that you use only for a specific subset of commands) which take up far too much screen real estate.

Very true, Pad Thai without any protein aside from tofu is still delicious.

question for people who use airbnb: If you've had a good experience with a host and you're going back to the area would you bother booking through Airbnb or just contact the host directly?

If it has been retweeted then maybe it does make sense? And one person saying that isn't newsworthy, but many people backing it up is (slightly) more relevant.

And to make matters worse the compatible hardware has been counterfeited a thousand times over and you never know which one you're going to get purchasing online.

tangentially related, but this reminded me of The Iron by Henry Rollins

reddit works much better if you unsubscribe from all the default subs, then subscribe to ones that interest you. Discovery is a bit harder but much of the reddit 'culture' is absent if you choose wisely.

This is sorely needed, so many recipe blogs follow that tired format of 'long diatribe about something moderately health or family related' then the recipe. Cool!

I don't get it. Any 'damage' to the studio happens when the movie is publicly leaked, at that point just download the copy yourself and check for a watermark, telling you where the leak originated without ponying up $5-$10 (which is a paltry sum to begin with).

Yeah, the solitary experience thing seems like the biggest hurdle. maybe a twitch like experience where one person directs the camera location and narrates with a bunch of follower who can control their own 360 view.

I think live sports and being able to switch between players/drone/sideline 360 views would be a killer app.

I imagine they would have their own hardware for a site like this. It could be any datacentre in Montreal, of which there are many to chose from.

As an aside; if I were a drug kingpin the last place on earth I would go to is Thailand.

population density maybe? for both customers and ensuring a steady supply of workers.

I want to do this, but I don't want the hassle of running my own email server. Can someone recommend a good email hosting service for custom domains? Personal email, so needs to be fairly cheap.

While on the topic of tracking, is there a plugin that lets you delete cookies using rules on a per domain basis? for example, cookies are useful for some sites, and others they are useful for certain periods of time, and thereafter it would be nice to get rid of them (and yet more sites shouldn't be able to leave cookies at all). I know there are some plugins that let you block all cookies, or manage them after the fact, but I want something rule based and automated

Actually I just looked it up, it identifies the wearer as a Christian Soldier.

not sure but looks more like a ram to me

Or a cloth car cover faraday cage. Slip it over the car and voila.

It takes a long time to become b12 deficient, especially so if you're eating meat. Maybe consider that you may have an absorption issue, like Celiac disease.

no RARBG? There was an article on HN recently about automatically bypassing their anti-scraping measures. Interesting read.

but no union
