dmn001··on On Working Remotely
Teamviewer, DropBox and Skype are the best tools I've used for remote working.
dmn001··on If Mario Was Designed in 2010
503 error. Move website to a reliable host?
dmn001··on RescueTime (YC 08) Data: Are Men more Productive than Women?
I used RescueTime for a few weeks because I had a problem with time management, as soon as that phase was over I uninstalled it mainly due to privacy concerns. I wonder how many people have a usage pattern similar to this, and what the average usage time is?
dmn001··on Banned from buying iPads... for life.
I would also add that the opportunity of selling extra iPad accessories, insurance and/or warranty is only possible instore, and not from a reseller. This would hurt Apple due to the lost revenue.

I still have the view though that if someone has the money they should be able to buy it and a lifetime ban is not really ideal.

Also a CNN article I read recently means the limit of 2 isn't stopping the trade in Hong Kong: http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/04/08/ipad.hong.kong.china.sale...

I agree. The Supersize Me person who did the experiment seemed intent on attributing a blame on McDonalds being evil, and their food being bad. But leaving the food out on the table isn't the same as eating and digesting it. This argument holds no water, figuratively speaking. It is just another pointless experiment.
dmn001··on Ask HN: Who's hiring?
Anyone hiring in UK?
dmn001··on How I got sued by Facebook
The open source php for the google profiler is in a link on the article, very easy to modify if you wanted to do the same thing.
dmn001··on Interesting pricing experiment ($0.99 iPhone app changed to $350.00)
I can't see it on the app store, maybe it was removed. The price on the google cache of the itunes preview was $399.99

The game was released around 1 year ago. There is a page in the forums: http://forums.toucharcade.com/showthread.php?t=7404

dmn001··on Chatroulette + GeoIP + screengrabs = Chatroulette Map
The IP address is in the filename of the image!?!
dmn001··on New Guitar Game with Real Six String Controller
Those old casio MIDI guitars could very easily be added into a game.
dmn001··on Microsoft Small Basic
It installs a dozen localised shortcuts as well as English, any of which may pop up when you press the start button. Look in all programs in your start menu to find the English version.
dmn001··on Microsoft Small Basic
Same, I remember playing that turtle game on a mac in primary school!

I think it is awesome that it is such a small download, and that you can publish to the web too! :) http://smallbasic.com/program/?FHZ097

dmn001··on Secrets about numbers
Interesting page, the rest of the site is good reading too.

I tend to use Wolfram Alpha quite a lot for this: e.g. http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=3.14
