Congratulations, this is exciting!

I've been doing it once a week since last year. It helps that it's a work sponsored activity or I probably wouldn't have gotten into it.

Here's a blog that I ran into a while back. Lately the updates have been few and far in between. But it's still an interesting read. http://raising-a-psychopath.blogspot.com/

When does a color become a different color instead of a different shade of the same color?

For example, light blue and dark blue are two different colors in Thai, similar to pink and red in English.

Probably editing error, but their terms page (https://appharbor.com/page/terms) skips over section 4.1.

I don't now much about the flight industry. What do GDS and TMC stand for?

I'm assuming that OTA is the Open Travel Alliance.

Interesting that in the 1900's there were a good number of pictures with people removed. Not so much in the other periods.

Interestingly not every language distinguishes blue from green: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distinguishing_blue_from_green_...

At first glace it seemed like this species of wasp was inbreeding. But after reading a Wiki article [1], it seems like different female wasps can lay eggs in a single fig.

Growing herbs on my balcony is pretty simple and easy. I've tried growing tomatoes, but they take more effort and time in comparison.

I haven't tried other vegetables yet.

Sounds like an Illuminati of the 21st century.

The only free version that I found is available with 25MB. To me this isn't really an alternative to the free gmail version.

EDIT: talking about FastMail

People who don't really want to work.

My mother-in-law lives in a neighborhood with no sidewalk. However, it's got very little traffic, and it's a 20mph zone. When we go for a walk, we just walk on the street. A good number of people in the neighborhood do the same.

A sidewalk is not always needed to have a good walk.

I use it to go back multiple pages at a time via the drop down list.

The analogy at the end (section IV) made the whole article easier to "get".

  ...an answer cannot be more precise than its data.  Or its question.

But you can still ask to record it right? And if for some reason the cop OKs it, then it should be all good?

Maybe I should use facebook in incognito mode. Or better yet, make a VM specifically for it.

I thought about a p2p social networking where each person can host their own data (like you mentioned). Then I checked out Opera Unite. The concept and possibilities are neat. But in practice they ended up way too slow. Maybe in the near future, we can have that.

I didn't see any animation, just a bunch of still images. And about 10 seconds after the end, I heard the music.

My wife and her parents used to have AT&T Tilts (HTC TYTN II). Like you, they were very frustrated with the phones. Now they all have iPhones and are very happy.

I can see it being more useful/friendlier with a touch interface.

I'm tempted to upvote this post just so the other people can see the comments. Specifically the burritos link and the explanation by barrkel.

The company I work for provides coffees, sodas, and spring water. Most of the time I'm happy with just water. But I asked for some healthier alternatives and they started offering fruit juices =)

You could do that domestically also. This could be a way to scale it. Allow people to sign up for "mailer" accounts, where they can print out the letters and mail them for a small compensation.

You'll have to work out the privacy issue though.
