FWIW hypem does not support SSL so you must turn off your https everywhere or make an exception in order to sign up for an account.

Not live for me, what does everyone else find?

Reminds me of early 'smart' phones.

Third'd. Mine has been dead nuts reliable; no problems, no regret spending the most I have ever spent on a laptop.

Thank you for mentioning Paul's Online Notes, this will be invaluable for me this summer term as I am signed up for calc 2 but have had 10years away from maths.

buzzkillr2 | 13 years ago | on: Poll: If you're in the US, What State Do You Live In?

Quite the spread. This is interesting as many HN submissions aren't locale specific.

buzzkillr2 | 13 years ago | on: Verizon Names Data-Draining and Battery-Killing Apps

You can lock the display and the voice directions still subsist. The battery drain is from the constant polling of GPS information in my experience though.

Today I learn that I am not the worst karma gaining person from my registration month.

buzzkillr2 | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: Do I need College?

I think it is smart to continue on and get a BA. Your abilities and experience can only help you further on in your career. Enjoy the time you have while you are young and physically able to enjoy it.

I have been running this on my toro (Verizon Galaxy Nexus) AOKP rom'd phone. Unscientifically this seems to make a difference to render speed of most everything.

buzzkillr2 | 13 years ago | on: Pen and Paper

I do as well. This past semester I switched to using Generals brand cedar point #333 2HB pencils and they are great quality I recommend trying them out.

buzzkillr2 | 13 years ago | on: Ubuntu Product Launch Day Google+ Hangout

I think they (canonical) have hinted at Ubuntu with touch support. This could be interesting for some of the touch laptop hardware that has been coming out with W8.

buzzkillr2 | 13 years ago | on: Getting better and finding happiness through cycling

I caught the bug last year (2011) got a new bike in February this year and severely broke my leg in March (non cycling accident). Even with the bad leg I managed to lose a bunch of weight and feel great.

Thank your for sharing your story.
