Awesome idea!

Is this similar to what Wowza (wowzamedia.com) does?

In terms of licensing, it is $55/mo/instance or $995 for a one-time license.

There are also EC2 instances that start at 15 cents per hour.

Much less expensive than FMS

Have you personally been able to get XBMC working and decoding 1080p?

Hopefully Carmen Ortiz won't start filing indictments...

I'm assuming it would be a hidden iframe and then trigger an actual click on an ebay affiliate link, so it would appear the user has clicked the link.

Your hypothetical scenario is actually showing products.

According to the article, it seems eBay's gripe was that once the cookie was placed, the transparent .gif on their homepage was never triggered, so these affiliates were not sending traffic to eBay, but randomly waiting for these eBay users to purchase something from eBay.

This method was actually used by several successful affiliate marketers, now considered "industry veterans", in the early 2000s for Amazon.com and other big affiliate marketing programs.

It would eventually get one kicked out of the affiliate program and the violator would not receive any of their commissions, but this is the first I have heard of the FBI federally prosecuting affiliates for cookie stuffing.

You should interface a potentiometer with the Pi to adjust the brooder light, only so you can call it a chicken pot Pi.

Can you please provide a link?

I have been playing w/ an MK802 stick and it has a few issues.

I only got one, but I too am working on a remote robot, modifying an old Robie Jr.

I originally was attempting to use an MK802 android stick running ubuntu and interfacing it with an Arduino Micro.

However, for $45, it saves much time and "just works".

Also, like you said, it cannot do 1080p, so if you want that for XBMC get a Pi, but for a robot, this, to me, seems ideal.

Not really. Chillingeffects does not discriminate on the legitimacy of the claim.

Have you considered the scenario where a valid DMCA takedown notice is sent by a legitimate copyright holder, but the infringer sent a perjured counterclaim?

I ask because I see how your database can be abused as well.

I have personally experienced this scenario, and without a ton of cash to retain an experienced IP attorney, I am powerless (and this database could add another layer of 'insult').

How long have you gone on a single charge?

Congrats Limor!

I still want a Wave Bubble.

I would like a phone with an e-ink display (like the non-Fire Kindles).

I assume battery life would be quite impressive.

Personally, 7 days is acceptable to me for a customized product coming across the Atlantic ocean.

Can you estimate or do you know (approx.) how long it takes for an order to arrive in the US once payment is made?

I see Pwinty has US shipping, but seems to be based in the UK.

Are US-bound prints from pwinty mailed from the UK?

Too bad the store is running on a Raspberry Pi.

For a very easy read about warehouse management processes (not just the software aspect, but the human aspect) , I recommend "Inventory Accuracy: People, Processes, & Technology"

It is a fun read with some very funny cartoons and illustrations.

If you do it for Chanuka, you only need 8 pull requests.

The first gen device was on "clearance" at Lowes for $149, IIRC (now it is $229).

The new version retails for $249.

I assume this is really a US oriented device, considering our fascination with ducted installs and a central HVAC system.

I added a multi-zone minisplit system in my last home, and can maintain specific temperatures of individual rooms,so I could not use such a device (The Nest).

Could be much more useful with remote temperature sensors in each room and electronic duct dampers.

Kickstarter project?

This is not original. This is old...

" A search engine doesn't discriminate in what content it indexes."

That is incorrect.

Tubetrooper certainly discriminates.

Well if "Google hard-codes DNS values for Google analytics servers into Chrome", your precious ShareMeNot is as useless as my suggestion.

But you do admit my suggestion currently works.

Edit your hosts file.

Just the toilet seat is $750 (Disclosure: This is on my Christmas wishlist)!

Although it does come with a remote (with LCD display), water temperature adjustment, volume control (for your iDevice), warm air-dryer, and air deodorizer.

You could always buy one of these from Amazon...

I know it is not a laser cutter (it uses a miniature blade), but you can take existing artwork or printouts and get really nice cuts with the software and USB. It can also score, for the folding portions.

I've used it for similar projects (kirigami - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirigami) and glass etching (making stencils). Not bad for less than $300.

Anyways, awesome site and a cool idea. I wish you guys much success!
