Other than the fonts looking a bit jagged on Win7/Chrome the design looks amazing.

I'm sure Deutsche Bank were less enamoured with it.

There's newer firmware updates but they won't release them. Perhaps other carriers have newer updates for my phone but i'm on a contract.

Unsurprising since phones are ditched by carriers after they're sold (orphaned android user).

It's Antarctica and it's protected by international treaty. Not sure why Russia were even allowed to do this.

The bios seemed to be his only sticking point about not using other hardware. Maybe something like coreboot might fill that need now?

Please add a submit button to the search box at the bottom of the site. I can't use the search function on Android (Opera) and less importantly, w3m.

That limerick accent is fading fast:) Top it up by watching some Rubberbandits. Loved the interview.

He runs a modern full featured gnu/linux distribution like a lot of people, just rarely boots into the desktop.

More private repos with the paid plans would definitely keep me paying and might convince others to pay.

Just installed Windows 7 on my desktop using the key from my laptop I wasn't using and this ISO.

aquinn | 15 years ago | on: Poll: Which web browser do you use?
Firefox feels prehistoric in many ways compared to chrome but I won't switch until they copy the awesomebar verbatim. It's perfect.

Yes amazing, I used to have Instructables in my rss reader but had to remove it due to the articles being totally unreadable.
aquinn | 15 years ago | on: Write your passwords down
I read a story on HN a while back about a guy who used an algorithm to generate his passwords. Don't have the link but something like combining easy to remember bits of personal information. e.g mother's name, kids birthday, maybe changing the case of these. Also adding something site specific like the last three letters of the url backwards. It's easy to remember passwords this way but if one gets out they're all vulnerable if someone looks closely.

I suppose the DDOS cannon will be aimed at twitter and facebook next then.

I really like STDP/EDT as a form of therapy. See if this resonates at all with you. http://www.istdp.ca/Somatization.pdf
aquinn | 16 years ago | on: Linux Mint 9 Released
seems to be a distro derived from ubuntu with polished ui and proprietary codecs and drivers preinstalled

Yeah, it would be nice if they had an open server that allowed you to sign up and check it out. There's nothing stopping anybody from setting one up though.
