In about page it states that "Most of the data comes from various apps on my phone". In powered by section it shows that he uses an iPhone.


Yes, I can read. :) I'm saying not enough of it is automated for my tastes. A nice chunk of that data is likely calculated from manual inputs (things like climbing and difficulty levels, etc).


There was a TV series named 'Scam City', in which presenter Conor Woodman gets scammed in some of the worlds most iconic cities. Here's episode of Barcelona http://vimeo.com/63510709


For movies checkout Bigflix. Their subscription plan seems cheap but don't know anything about movie collection or T&C.


Tried them. The quality is at least 3-4 times worse than the DVDRips and not even mentionable in the same breathe as a BRRip.

And it used to decide to crash from time to time and then it would simply stop streaming and buffering and you couldn't do anything about that.

There's a new player in town CatchFlix. Haven't checked them.

There's also BoxTV which worse than them all.

And range sucked in all of them.


Those Intel (or may be Windows) sticker are there because it subsidize cost for manufacturer. They are paid to stick it in front of user.


May be "PrtScr" is more relevant because Ubuntu uses it as shortcut key to take full and window screenshots. Also according to wikipedia "SysRq" has no standard use.


But it does have one on Linux, which is what ships with this model. If you're developing or even just tinkering and things go haywire, SysRq is much more useful than the power button. But Dell clearly copy-pasted the design from existing models. Had they consulted with a developer, it would've had Meta and Line Feed on it as well. Perhaps even a compose key, før tḣöse fūññy chàráctèrs. (Because dead keys are annoying when you have to write more than one string literal in a day.)


Use "learnmore" instead of "freedom" coupon.


sold out as well :)


"Error 509: Bandwidth Limit Exceeded", can't even find in google webcache or web.archive.org. Any other way to read this?


(EDIT): Original post is too long for an HN comment. In lieu of that, here's a Pastebin cache of the original post.

Let me know if you run into any issues.

(2nd EDIT): I just updated the Pastebin cache with the original author's e-mail address, as it was in the blog. Don't mind me, I'm just the schmuck who HN-ed his server's bandwidth.


Here is a formatted version that I created from the Google cache source code: http://ompldr.org/vaHh3bA


Well if that really works, then Indian farmers have done a good hack at pest control. But how that excess sugar affect soil, plantation and local ecology than those other pesticides, should be further studied.


Better than that for me is "Alt+.", much easier to type. It can be also combined with number like "Alt+2+." will insert second argument. Similarly "Alt+0+." will insert last command. http://linuxcommando.blogspot.in/2009/05/more-on-inserting-a...


If you are on OS X and use Terminal.app “Alt-.” won’t work because Alt is used for alternate characters. You have two options: enable “use option as meta” in the app settings (but you lose the extra characters) or use “Esc-.” instead.

Yes, I know about iTerm. I don’t want it.


iTerm2 by chance? Carries a great deal of improvements over the original iTerm and is under active development.


One way or another, that's true of any terminal. The shell sees characters, not keystrokes.


In my bash/readline/whatever, Alt+<N>+. gives the Nth-from-the-end argument to the previous command. so,

    $ echo a b c d
    a b c d
    $ echo # pressing <Alt+<2>+.> here inserts 'c', not 'b'.


Quoting from the article it says "We are in compliance with DMCA as all companies, world-wide, must be." I didn't know that it's applicable worldwide. Wikipedia article states that it's an American law. Is there some kind of International treaty or that assumption is false?


Wikipedia is right, they're idiots.

You only have to be DMCA compliant if you're in some way based in the US. Complying with US laws when you're a non-US company is like complying with Australia's laws if you're a Canadian company.


But wasn't there something a while back about how people had to comply with US law if they owned a .com/.net/.org domain, since these were managed in the US?


I think it depends on the definition of "had to comply". If you mean, are legally obliged to, then no. If you mean, don't want to risk their domains be seized by the US, then yes.


Sure, so just don't get a .com.
