Re:A "real" user proves Windows 8 fails on the desktop on Monday March 12, 2012 @05:22PM (#3695624)
how did we ever manage to transition from MS-DOS to Windows in the first place? I tried Windows 3.1 for the first time yesterday and I could not for the life of me figure out how to get to the command line. I don't see how I can be productive after the first 30 seconds. WINDOWS FAIL!
Re:Learning to Code: The Roadmap I Wish I Had Been Given on Monday March 05, 2012 @08:06PM (#3669193)
To bad the Roadmap didn't include being able to access your blog/article. I'm forbidden....

I'm drawing up a design to make them a better stand. What they have just looks like it's waiting to get pushed off a counter. They are only a few blocks away, I could just drop it off.
Re:Fliers Must Turn Off Devices, but It’s Not Clear Why on Sunday November 27, 2011 @11:06PM (#3284463)
Even on the slightest chance that a consumer device would cause interference, do you think having to put them away is so bad? On take off and landing you are also near other planes, populated areas.

Also don't forget with the 3.5 oz limitation someone did use that kind(Liquid) as an explosive to try and take down a airplane. poor electronics getting jolted from a peaceful sleep with a bullhorn.....

Instead of the Government tracking down anon. Just let the Zeta's do it for them(CIA style). Anyone vindictive enough could fake being anon. Now we just have to convince the Zeta's that Al Qaeda is going to bring the heat down on them.

I think that would be good start!

What kind of theme would you use for chatting about this?
Re:India launches $35 7-inch Android tablet on Wednesday October 05, 2011 @05:07AM (#3074868)
Now this is interesting... for the longest time I have heard only rumors.

The price can still be dropped? This might make internet access viable for many people.

Re:Flash Game Simulates Living on $9/hr. on Wednesday October 05, 2011 @05:03AM (#3074858)
This is only for a month. Being broke usually lasts a lot longer.

Anyone have any ideas on how to hack this kind of situation?

Re:Upverter (YC W11): the perfect tool for open-source hardware on Wednesday September 14, 2011 @12:43AM (#2994920)
This is a really neat Idea. I'm working on a 60inch touch screen for doing data analysis. I've tried it on our large system and it works like a charm (Webkit in QT). I think this will be interesting to follow your progress!

I'm a Altium user, can't really use it on a iPad. Upverter can go almost everywhere!

Re:Ask HN: Does anyone use SolidWorks for web design? on Thursday August 18, 2011 @12:16AM (#2897927)
I've used SolidWorks once for graphic that was used on a webpage. The only reason was having some shadows that didn't look like they were drawn by a 4yo. SolidWorks doesn't have any HTML/Code capability to create a webpage.

Curious or trying to figure if SolidWorks is a viable web design tool?
