You can downvote me to infinity. Google is a company and as such it is only interested in earning money, everything else is second.

I hear people saying oh great that will replace eMail.. don't think so. M$ and others tried that and failed, why should it be different now? Google will try to keep a crucial piece of the pie like M$ does with the .NET platform.

1.) Sometimes new technology does not improve your situation but the opposite. e.g. RFID Passports open new attack vectors. There is no technology which is totally secure. 2.) RFID is not the problem, you can easily put a mesh inside the co

In my opinion, TDD is a double edged sword. Not only does it depend on the persons preference but also experience. [1] For the experienced or good programmers TDD is a hassle and often results in less efficient code and often in less code.

The website and the idea are really great. I can only advise everyone who doesn't know what 419 scam is to read this. The sad truth though is that it works, there are people who still fall for this (419 scam) and there are also people who b

We owe Nikola Tesla a lot. He was a genius and is one of my inspirations. If you don't know so much about him, see this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1LqxG49DLk Wireless power was one of his ideas and we are still only scratching the s

Sure, it's cool and all but a moving head and blinking lights don't really make it a robot. I mean if you like Gundam sure but this is probaly much more interesting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpO57NltoAI

Probably since you are starting from scratch and because first iterations of software if you are new to this tend to be more practice than usable I would say, stick first with the language which makes your life easiest. Later when e.g. spee

For a proof of concept, I would second that. Though actually Matlab is significantly more powerful in Machine Learning than R due to its fantastic libraries. (R is still young).

Actually I can only second that. Goto's are useful. For instance in the Linux Kernel it is used instead of exceptions in the function scope. Unfortunately great power (goto) comes with great responsibility (don't produce spagetti). Most $pr

The main issue here is that all other services build upon the "Federation" of DNS. Meaning, e.g. google, microsoft, and all kind of other companies don't trust each other but fundamentally they are connected by DNS which allows all kinds of

Actually Dan Kaminsky commented on DNSCurve and said it to be very clever and interesting but not realizable because it costs too much. Costs in this sense is the requirement of machines to realize this. If you substitute the current DNS in

Comparing Human Echo location to a Dolphin is highly unfair, at least for the human. The Dolphins brain has specifically adapted to use this technique and it is quite impressive. Dolphins are actually able to see through things which block

Please don't use WEP anymore. WEP is totally broken and with 5000-10000 packets you can easily guess the used keys. Don't do it. Don't use WEP.

"Show password as you type?" I think that would be a bad idea. User normally go the way of least resistance. If you allow this in the next iteration of the software the default would be checked because of too many complaints etc.
