Any feedback on a new model for online legal services?
http://www.legalzoom.com/
Just an idea and I would appreciate any feedback as to whether you think this is a good idea.<p>Most online legal services are either selling documents or legal services. But documents are not the best without an attorney looking at them and legal services are never really sold at a fixed rate: lawyers just charge their hourly rate.<p>what about combining documents and services for a flat, fixed fee, say $200 or $300 to customize a document for you, all paid upfront.
Do you think this is a good idea for an online legal site?<p>linking to legalZoom as an example of a legal documents site

Ask HN: Working Offline for 8 Hours?
I'm going on a long flight and would love to use the time for coding. Any tips how to do it ? I would love to download the whole internet or maybe just stack overflow and GitHub :)

Would appreciate any hint.

Ask HN: Picked a First Project to Learn to Code With but Need Language Advice. 
I've been wanting to learn to code for some time now, and most people told me to pick something I wanted to make and build it from the ground-up (Or top-down should I say).

My project is based off extracting certain data from Google Maps API, storing it in a database somewhere, analyzing it for different situations and putting it back out. (At least this is what I plan to do, I have no clue how possible/intensive this is but I guess I will find out).

I'm sure everyone hates these "what language should I learn" questions, but I figure since there may be certain things that work really well with my situation and certain that could work terribly, it could be a valid question.

Thanks in advance.

tl;dr What language to use with Google APIs.
Term paper resources
Hi guys, for my software testing class we have a term paper due at the end of the semester. The topic I chose was Automation of Black-box testing. I'm just wondering if anybody has a recommendation for any books, papers, or whatever for me to read through.

Also if anybody has any suggestions for what I could cover that would be great. So far I think I'm basically going to go over the pros and cons and in what situations you would want to use this testing technique.

Thanks for your help HN =)

Teaching With Artifacts – Where To Begin
http://www.artifactsteach.com/support/tutorials/lesson-plan-formats/
Teachers who are new to using 3D artifacts in the classroom as teaching tools initially come up against two barriers - where to find a steady flow of 3D objects for students to study and followed quickly by how to use artifacts in the classroom. Technology has made it possible for teachers to access a nearly unlimited supply of digital 3D artifacts on the Internet. Following a simple five-step process, teachers can begin teaching with artifacts from this vast database of 3D objects. Students access pre-planned objects on classroom iPads and begin their inquiry with these questions: what is it made of? what are its characteristics? what was it used for - by whom, where, and when? what can be learned about technology of the time? what can be learned about people/culture of the time?
Graphic design to programming. The Ruby on Rails way.
http://engineactive.com/abstract/2009/10/graphic-design-to-programming-the-path-of-a-newbie/
I was recently reading a reply made in response to Obie Fernandez (of Hashrocket and The Rails Way fame) who suggested RMM. RMM stands for Rails Maturity Model. I can’t say for certain that I agree or take a stance on either side of the fence, I can say however that the quote above really struck a chord with me. I am one of those (sophisticated?) graphic designers that found an entry into web application development and programming via the ever popular Ruby on Rails framework...(continued)

How to tell if my laptop was tampered with in China?
I am travelling in China with a laptop which I mostly wiped clean for the trip (no personal information, no saved passwords, different ssh keys than I normally use). On returning to my room today I found it wouldn't start up, responding that it could not find the boot device (an SSD on SATA/0).

I've had no problems with the SSD before this.

Bizarrely, unplugging the power supply brought it back.

I don't have my toolkit with me so taking it apart is not optimal, am wondering if there's any way to tell (or even hint at) if it was compromised.

While it will be annoying I can avoid logging into email if necessary as I'm only here for a few more days.

I have ubuntu 10.10 installed as well as Windows 7, the laptop is a Lenovo x61.
