What and how much did you eat a day?
Re:The Benefits of Being Cold on Monday December 29, 2014 @06:43AM (#8809394)
A little bit off-topic, but why were you walking so much? And where did you find so much energy to do so (I presume you would probably need to eat a lot (much more than 2,000 calories) to be able to walk so many miles)?
Re:The Benefits of Being Cold on Monday December 29, 2014 @06:12AM (#8809324)
I've always wondered how homeless people deal with cold when I saw them during winter. It's amazing what our bodies can do.

Looks awesome! Any examples though?
Re:Show HN: Morning Reader – A simple way to read the news on Wednesday November 19, 2014 @10:47AM (#8630617)
Where and how do you get your news? How do you order them? And why only 30 in each category?

Other than that, nice design. Bookmarked, will see. Btw, I guess comments would be nice.

Re:McGill will double your password if you don’t do it first on Wednesday November 19, 2014 @10:33AM (#8630537)
it doesn't actually... limit to 1k chars or something, not 20 if you worry about stuff like that.

How does it work?
I mean ordinary people who will visit the page.
Won't people need to have LetsEncrypt CA certificate installed on their computers to not get that red SSL incorrect certificate thing? Other than that, this is awesome.

Re:Philae has landed on Wednesday November 12, 2014 @12:11PM (#8596675)
Not really we... Just very few people, most of us have no idea how they've done it.
Re:Philae has landed on Wednesday November 12, 2014 @12:06PM (#8596641)
Trying to find answers to the most important questions is much more important than saving a few thousand people now. Plus, we'll probably need to leave Earth one day, and before that we need to know how.

Looks very nice, good job. What about browser compatibility?
Can you shoot other satellites (above 100km) without any repercussions then (with your own satellite above 100km)?

Or, what would happen if I sent my own satellite, and it hit Elon's by accident?

I am asking these questions, because I am not sure big countries would be very happy if their people's internet requests went through USA's company.

Serious question, are satellites allowed to be above other countries, like Russia, China etc.?

Yes, and that's a nice solution.

Here you go. You don't know how much they would pay you now.

Re:Pirate Bay founder Gottfrid Warg faces lengthy jail term on Friday October 31, 2014 @05:12AM (#8537904)
If there was no jail time, then everyone would try to do that (What could be the worst scenario - just losing all your stolen money). That wouldn't work.

What if you take vitamins & minerals?
