I assume that Philae isn't meant to be powered directly by sunlight but has an intermediate battery? So wouldn't it make sense to simply wake him once this battery is full, do some experiment, send the data and go back to sleep until recharged again? Shouldn't that work even with low light conditions, just that the sleep phases would be much longer than planned? The article sounds like they aren't sure Philae will ever wake up again.

In the end the application needs a key to decrypt the storage. That key has to be stored somewhere on the device. On a rooted phone there is no place out of reach, so all they can do is make the storage obscure. Unless the hardware provides some inaccessible secure thingy there's not much they can do... I guess even if it did a script like that could access the secure thingy via USB debug as well.

I don't think the developers are to blame. They did what they could.

The real problem is that snapchat promises something it can not technically deliver. Once a photo leaves your phone and is delivered to somebody else, you lost control over that photo.

The post speaks about HTML but as far as I can see this does not contain a rendering component similar to what node-webkit does. Am I right?

Can anyone recommend a similar extension as AwesomeScreenshot without this shady behaviour?

What's it good for?

The sources (https://github.com/marijnh/Eloquent-JavaScript) are written in ASCIIdoc which has an epub export. So it should be easy to build one yourself.

this is cool. Would be nice to have a way to pick palettes directly at your site instead of going to colorlovers. Maybe by searching?

It provided me with a really good solution to my problems:

Can you describe the problem in a paragraph? Please use small sentences, I'm only a duck.

> My colleagues are dumb!

>> Is your colleagues the thing that has the problem?

> yes

>> Can you explain what your colleagues does?

> They do very very dumb things.

>> Do you fully understand how it does what it does? Could you split your colleagues into smaller chunks?

> split them into chunks? Cheers duck, I think I have it now! grabs axe

This confuses the heck out of me every time I have to work with the Paypal API. I never understood why they implemented it this way. It makes absolutely no sense IMHO but has always been this way. I'm surprised that this isn't used much more often for fraud.

I just learned about both projects and didn't dig deep into it, but it seems to me that minicart.js buttons will still work for users without JavaScript because they are "real" Paypal buttons. That might be an advantage over simplecart which seems to have no fallback for noscript users.

A bit off-topic. But are there any open source projects like this that can be self-hosted, working on a largish local directory of projects?

"This app is incompatible with all of your devices." I have a Nexus 4 and Nexus 7. Not exactly weird hardware.

A bit unrelated, but can anyone enlighten me what he means by "geofence" to detect his phone leaving the apartment?

All I see is a black page? (Chromium 33.0.1750.152)

404s for the script and CSS files

by properly escaping the output, not sanitizing the input

Hmm, why not simply always use the recovery system but just not store the energy in the battery if it's full already (or capacity reached or whatever)?

he talks about a save file format, not a file system. or do we have different concepts of "file system"?

looks nice, but no info which scripts it covers?

In-App-Purchase

The source of this would be useful to integrate such features in other apps (like editors). An API might do as well at least for online tools like blogs. As a standalone site it's too much hassle to integrate it into your daily workflow I think.

This is awesome. What I'd really like to have is an improved HUD for this game that permanently displays the internal states of Health, Energy and Willpower. Google Glass + some biosensors maybe.

Without a location parameter this is pretty useless. Andrea for example is a male name in Spain and Italy as far as I know.

I guess this wouldn't work with an encrypted wallet.dat which was introduced later than 2011.

Isn't IPv6 a feature of the Linux networking stack? Shouldn't everything that runs Linux be IPv6 capable? Or is there some IPv6 stuff implemented in hardware here?

For a second I hoped someone decided to build the universal charger I dream of: http://www.splitbrain.org/blog/2012-11/24-christmas_wish_uni...

Well, I guess I have to dream on.

Interesting! Any idea how the verified tags work? Who verifies what and how there?

Am I the only one who found Myst incredibly sterile and boring coming from LucasArts and Sierra Adventure games? I never played it for more than maybe 20 minutes.

Shouldn't that be the default, then? (I don't have an iPhone so I can't check it)

If I understand it correctly the serverless part means that the whole OAuth process is handled in JavaScript on the client (the user's browser). There is no server-to-server communication.

It seems Dilbert.com is killing RSS-Support. Their feed item only show "Dilbert readers - Please visit Dilbert.com to read this feature. Due to changes with our feeds, we are now making this RSS feed a link to Dilbert.com."

Any alternatives for my daily Dilbert fix, short of visiting the website?
