I just added http://skillow.com/tour to give a simple how it works. Every item or listing now has a REPIN button, I'll work on making it more clear. Thanks!
I worked at Gowalla last summer and I can tell you that there are superusers who travel around only for the beautiful stamps and to collect items, but that number is very small. Gowalla has always been about travel and exploring. This move is not a surprise in any way.
I just moved back to Tumblr after using Posterous for 6 months or so. I finally got tired of the slow page loads and buggy editor I experienced using Posterous.
Posterous crashes my browser (Opera 10.63, on Gentoo Linux) about 40% of the time it loads. If Opera wasn't so good at saving my tabs I'd probably have stopped using Posterous.
4 Advil before the race? This is a bad idea, from experience. I took 2 Advil before a 10K and felt great, but within an hour after the race, I was in complete pain. My stomach was cramping and I couldn't get up out of bed for at least 45 min. If you Google "Advil" and "running", you will find many articles that warn you about the mixture. I've ran two half-marathons without pain killers, it's definitely the way to go.
Untappd seems like the better of the two. I tried to use Beerby a few times and it was hell. The signup was a pain, and then the app didn't load properly.
Not sure what issues you had but we'd be happy to debug with you, have tons of Android users that like the experience but Android never surprises me to have some device specific issue :) beerby@levlr.com
After viewing the video of the MIT lab using the AR Drone I'm confused...
From the Development License of the SDK Drone API (Article 5 v):
"AR.Drone, shall have for sole purpose to be used by a User for entertaining, game, leisure or training. The creation of
applications for the use of the PARROT Drone for military, and, without limitation, security, watching, spying,
defence, cartography is strictly forbidden."
Radar detectors are sold under the same sort of disclaimer that they're never, ever, ever to be used to circumvent speed limit laws. It's safe to say we can all roll our eyes at this boilerplate.
As others noted, this is largely a CYA clause. I suspect the real reason is because UAVs are a legal grey area as far as the FAA regulations are concerned. It is generally accepted that regulations for R/C aircraft also apply to UAVs. The tricky point is that the FAA regs specifically state "for recreation". So you can legally fly an R/C plane and take aerial photos as a hobby. However, if you sell those photos then now you've broken the law. (R/C clubs recommend selling one ground photo and giving away the aerial ones to skirt the issue). The AR.Parrot folks know the regulations and are simply trying to distance themselves with boiler plate.
They have the AR.Drone for comparison and entertainment, it's not considered a serious piece of equipment at all. The drone they're actually doing research on is a Ascending Technologies Hummingbird
If a machine gun with an SDK was currently sold, I would imagine it would include the following conditions;
"Machine gun shall have for its sole purpose training, sport and 'making a loud, satisfying noise'. Use for military purposes or for turning snitches and rival mafia dons into bloody swiss cheese is strictly forbidden"
I've encountered this same problem multiple times.
The fix: don't buy the domain until you are ready to launch the project. This allows you to build without having to adapt your project to a domain name. It's much easier to find a domain that describes your project after it has been completed. It also saves you money if you never carry out your grand ideas.
