I've been for skin prick allergy testing.

It accurately identified an allergy I knew I had.

Chrome on Android has a similar accessibility setting named "Force enable zoom".

Firefox on Android has an accessibility setting named "Always enable zoom".

With this feature enabled, I can zoom in on this site.

With this feature disabled, I can not zoom in on this site.

When creating a new account on an ipad it took me three tries to pick a password that wasn't "too long". It would be helpful if the error message indicated the maximum allowable password length.

I enjoyed using the app. Easy to understand and super easy to get something published. I sent it to my mom, who was just this weekend asking how hard it would be to set up a website for her friend's small business.

I can't speak for rffn, but many people want to avoid using the 2.4GHz spectrum due to congestion.

In the 2.4GHz band there is a limited amount of space available, and there are now many wireless routers in typical residential neighbourhoods all competing for the same space. Many other devices such as cordless phones, baby monitors, and wireless speakers also use 2.4GHz and interfere with wifi signals. Most microwaves generate significant amounts of noise in the 2.4 GHz band when in use.

In the 5GHz band there is much more space available, and there are many fewer competing devices and sources of interference. The penalty of 5GHz is slightly less range, and more expensive wifi equipment.

Maybe there would be less objection if the question asked for a "player name" instead of "your name".

How about turning a few lights on remotely when one is unexpectedly caught working late? Now it looks like someone is home instead of looking like a big dark burglary target.

Or maybe one might want to lock the font door from the office when one left in a hurry to get to the meeting on time?

zwave and zigbee are similar but competing standards. the devices are not interchangeable but some home automation controllers support both.

Canada is four spots above (cheaper) than Australia in the graph.

My TV supports DLNA which allows me to stream video and music files from my PC or NAS drive with no intermediate box. It's not that great though. Only a limited number of file formats are supported and the interface is clumsy compared to AppleTV or XBMC.

A friend of mine asked me today for an easy way to get a website going for his wife's beauty salon. I recommended him to bitballoon.com after learning about it here. It looks very slick and easy to use. Thanks.

Many of the animals that humans eat are born into captivity, caged their entire existence, and slaughtered at a young age.

I feel sorrow for them.

I turned off web history a while ago. I didn't like the filter bubble [1] that I found myself in. One of the things I like best about the internet is access to new and different information. With web history and personalized searching on, I was finding the same results at the top seemingly no matter what I searched for.

Lately I've been using DuckDuckGo about half the time, and Google the rest of the time.

I use clamwin (http://www.clamwin.com/) and clam sentinel for real time monitoring (http://sourceforge.net/projects/clamsentinel/).

The voting history of MPs in Canada is available in an easy to use format at http://openparliament.ca/bills/votes/41-1/

Most of the votes have the Conservative majority solidly on one side and everyone else on the other. It's nearly impossible to stop or alter legislation that Mr. Harper wants passed.
