Sorry, I was not clear at all! I meant the old systems, I guess before Sumerians.

Very interesting, and the history makes it a bit more reasonable sounding!

Of course, our Mexican neighbors are fully SI. It's nice you guys think of us ;)

Not sure LifeHacker deserves the title of "Tech Blog" after some of the recent stories. But maybe that's just me.

Amen.

Seriously...?

Easy trick for (most) plane wifi is to route traffic through a proxy on a google webapp. The traffic blocked is only on port 80 (or HTTP) for almost all sites but works on 413 (HTTPS) on Google's servers (likely related to Adsense and Analytics).

The only thing you forgot there is that sometimes you need to Unlock and Re-Enable user account. Sometimes it says that it's unlocked already but isn't (oddly so). It's option 4 last I checked just before you write the hives.

The article really doesn't answer the question at all... It's the get ready to get ready to get ready to start (or just pay someone).... Oh, and a few tools, but it may help many to know how to use them.

Haha, win against the dump truck!

Nah, I want them to know my distaste for their poor interweb etiquette.

They stop quickly.

I forward it back... a lot.

Which is essentially a light vacuum (small was the incorrect word for me to use, you're right there!). Meaning that the pressure inside will be less than atmospheric pressure, that's all a vacuum is defined as. Obviously there are higher and lower quality vacuums (based on division of pressures).

They mention this in the linked article, but for those of us who usually just read the summary, be sure to provide sufficient inflow. It would probably be best to have 1 of those fans blowing in + a free-flowing opening. Otherwise, you could create a small vacuum and just circulate hot air.

I may have missed exactly what, but what types of data? What do you expect to come out of the community having the data?

What is the number 1 thing your team hoped to accomplish through this experiment?

Ugh, and the highway here in Denver is shut down for it (which really is useless... they should just close the off-ramps for the surrounding few exits.).

I like opening with: "Man these things are always awkward." Everyone knows it but no one says it.

If you prefer paper, that's fantastic.
