The one tool that I've been looking for the last few years has been a decent text-to-voice tool. I did do one series using some of the tools out there as of a couple years ago ( http://www.youtube.com…

At the risk of mentioning "that" company, Bing is not a horrible home page. While I still have iGoogle as my home page on most machines, I have two of them with Win 8 where I've found IE to work bette…

The following quote burns me everytime I see it or it's ilk on blogs: "What matters is the data and keeping it safe, but the cloud is already handling that chore for many of us, making the hardware mo…

The above is why I love to read HN... However, it seems that at some point here you are better off going back to getting dedicated hosts at a couple different distributed data centers and dealing with…

My question is, how do Haxe and NME relate? I started reading about Haxe, started working with the tool, then found all these references to NME which I'm not clear if it's a subset or a fork or ? Woul…

As the article points out, they couldn't have picked a more appropriate role model. Wonder how many times a day he gets asked if he dreams of Electric Sheep though...

It comes up every year because it's correct. I have read and am familiar with the issue raised in the linked article, and respectfully disagree. I just think that if I can edit a Video file, record my…

FWIW, but all my drives are set to timeoff "Never" because I would rather pay a little more in electricity. Per one of the other comments, even if the drive is spinning, Windows checks the page file f…

Probably because I saw a posting on here some time ago (sorry I can't pull the link off the top of my head) that explained why you saw "Odd" and "Weird" on so many ads on the Weather Channel site. Giv…

Seems interesting, but I really think you should start with a landing page that gives folks an idea of what the product is, and a couple sample use cases. Then a big button to "Start Using Bookvoid", …

What I am waiting for is for Apple to come up with a version of an ID that is "safe" to send out into the world with a handicapped child that is incapable of doing her own updates, but that would allo…

Dateline - November 10, 2015 - In perhaps the most bizarre twist in the story detailing the strange hurricane that recently destroyed the Willis Tower (nee the Sears Tower) in Chicago, a scientist has…

Really? Because the times I've tried to "seriously" answer such questions it became apparent the person asking was looking for "THE" answer. In fact I was halfway into the effect of having seat belts …

I highlighted your question, right-clicked and chose to Google it, and it was answer number 3 on the returned results. I suspect Alpha would give more useful detail, but then I really think that wasn'…

Because we presume that an interviewee is desperate enough that they won't give the "honest" answer - well, I'll google that and see if I can't find someone else who has already found the answer. Seri…

I've found that usually once I get asked one of these, that's the end of the interview. Why? Because I epitomize "think outside the box". You see, there are a number of different bus styles - are we t…

There must be fifty ways to leave your... ISP?

Better option (IMNSHO), if someone wants to read the email they don't REALLY care if it's as an email. So a reader application that parses the DL'd file so that you can do rudimentary search, find wha…

There was an article recently (one version at http://www.slate.com/blogs/future_tense/2012/04/27/self_driv... ) that talked about a study asking folks if they wanted a self-driving vehicle if it cost…

When the "auto" mobiles first came out, you had to have someone in front waving a flag to alert those on horses and in carriages that you were coming. I figure this is the modern day equivalent (and a…
