My two side projects:

http://www.sizeall.com site for comparing things by real size on screen

http://www.newswebreader.com web Usenet client (three pane, like Thunderbird)

I tried it and it is annoying. Compose window is located in the lower right corner of the screen, and cannot be moved to the middle.

This is just silly. Internet is for data transport. Imagine if cities are responsible that someone is transporting stolen goods on their roads, or Ford has to keep track of what their car owners transport in the car...

Foxconn sounds better than this...

I guess http://ap.pl/ will be the next target

What kind of organization is Moody's? Who watches them? Who made them qualified to issue ratings? Are they accountable for their ratings? Why would anyone listen what they say?

So this is the place my Google check comes from :-) (Gordon House)

I created free Usenet web reader. Something like Thunderbird in the browser, standard three pane interface. Supports only text groups.

> Humanity hasn't defeated the laws of thermodynamics.

Human body does not extract 100% of energy from food, and waste that comes out is not calorie free. So it is not simple 'calories in, calories out'

Leon Lederman did not want to call it 'The God Particle', just the opposite 'Goddamn Particle'. "the publisher wouldn't let us call it the Goddamn Particle, though that might be a more appropriate title, given its villainous nature and the expense it is causing." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_God_Particle:_If_the_Univer...

For me, ipad with 7.85" screen makes sense. You do not lose screen real estate because it is the same resolution as iPad 1 & 2, it is easier to carry around, apps will not need new versions to support iPad mini. This is real size comparison of iPad 7.85" with iphone 4 and standard ipad: http://www.sizeall.com/compare/Apple-iPad-7-85-inch-mockup-A...

Does anyone still uses Usenet for discussions? I guess I was too late with creating website for reading Usenet (just text, no binaries), something like Thunderbird Usenet reader in your browser. http://www.newswebreader.com

3 million per in 10 years is 300,000 per year, or 820(!) per day. I doubt they lock up 820 entrepreneurs per day.

90$ for 1GB memcached? I am paying 65$ for the whole server (i7 quad, 32GB ram, 3TB disk, 10TB bandwidth) and can setup 30GB memcached if needed.

New mobile phones are getting ridiculously big. Today, iPhone 4S looks like small phone. This is a cool, actual size comparison of iPhone, Galaxy III and Note (almost as big as tablet :-)): http://www.sizeall.com/compare/Apple-iPhone-4S-Ruler-cm-inch...

So possesion of a knife should also be a criminal offence...
