Actually, he mentions the base was taken from another chair.

I found two Herman Miller Eames chairs being thrown away. The bases were missing, so I pulled two chrome chair bases off some old desk chairs and mounted one of the Eames chairs onto a base.


It's definitely a Plycraft[1]; look at the armrests vs a real Eames[2].

Actually, bartering is already covered in the US tax code. You're supposed to claim the fair market value of the goods/ services you received as income.

Hacker's Diet Online has a nice graphing utility. It's much easier to see progress on the average than with daily fluctuations.

My "weekend hobby" is a site that aims for a better user experience that John Walker's site, while remaining true to the hacker's diet tenants. http://myhackerdiet.com

I've also integrated the Withing's wifi scale, so daily readings are fully automated!


Exactly, and while you're at it, don't ask your barber if you need a haircut.

I'm sure the low ink warning is justified somewhere on the grounds of ensuring consistent quality, but as long as the prints come out good enough, print away.


All-in-One Gestures saves me a good bit of time. It's the one addon I find myself missing when I'm not on my computer.

Using the scroll wheel to switch between tabs in the bar = priceless.


The issue with having individual fishing companies determining policies is that it invokes the tragedy of the commons. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons

This is addressed in part by the Law of the Sea Treaty, but this only addresses waters out to 200 nautical miles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_of_the_Sea_Treaty

Living resources past this zone are free game. If any fishing companies pull out of a region to allow the populations to grow, it only opens up opportunities for other companies to come in.

The speeds are 1 gigabit connections. The Dark Knight Blu Ray was approx. 35GiB. At 1 gigabit connections speed it would take 280 seconds in a best case scenario.

That doesn't account for any network overhead and assumes the storage medium can write > 125MiB/s (Pretty much discounting all standard platter drives)

The 5-10 minute figure is reasonable.


Jeez. Back in my day, movies were ~700MB. That way we could put them on these things called CDs. Ever hear of CDs? Damn kids.
