Prometric is one of the largest certification testing companies there is. Microsoft is the one giving the test away: http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/offers/html5.aspx.

What is so unattractive about it? I actually like it.

You should work on helping those without access to clean drinking water instead of wasting your time criticizing what someone else would like to do.

I'm curious: What do you need the disk space for? Is it something that can be farmed out to say, Amazon S3?

A lot of technology jobs revolve around solving problems. Maybe technical sales? technical writing?

Hartl's Ruby On Rails 3 Tutorial book is great, and available for free online: http://ruby.railstutorial.org/

Depends on your definition of "tracking users". Netflix tracks your viewing history to recommend new movies and TV shows. Amazon tracks your purchasing and browsing history to recommend items for you to purchase.

In my opinion, neither of these is inherently unethical.

Having never used myBalsamiq, I'm not sure what they built it in, but some of the tools you could use:

Flash, jQuery, ExtJS, HTML5

Isn't their desktop app built in Adobe Air? or have they moved away from that? I haven't used it in a while.

I'm on Server Fault everyday. Even if you don't ask or answer questions, it is interesting to read all of the content.

This isn't really an itch because my current bug tracker does this already but being able to update issues with svn/mercurial/git commits is a great feature to have.

Ahh, I misunderstood the question.

It is possible that you gave Google permission when you signed up.

I think it is more likely that the URL has all of the information Gilt needs to process the request:

    http://www.gilt.com/google-
    chromebook?opromo=Google_Chromebook&ocl=Email&ocat=Link&
    email_address=<any email would work here>

I visited that URL and replaced the original e-mail address with a different one and it worked fine.

Did you sign up to try and receive a CR-48?

If so, that is why you got the e-mail.

Not all of them may be good, but here is a comprehensive list: http://www.humanfactors.com/downloads/degrees.asp.

I was considering either Iowa State or Carnegie Mellon. CM is supposed to be really good but is also pretty expensive.

Even when I search for LibraOffice the first link is LibreOffice.org...how did you make it to HN?

There is nothing wrong with asking myopic questions. The author did not state that startups are the only thing that are important; they asked a specific question about a specific issue.

The sparkfun forums might also be a good place to ask: http://forum.sparkfun.com/
