   Thank you for that. Very good advice actually, especially the first part of mentioning the merit of other works. On a side note, does anyone have good advice of how to motivate yourself while in PhD studies? I am now in year three and have

   Note the search results from the video at 13:21 featuring two IBM hits for the local "intranet". Interesting.

   I think there is nothing cool about this. Also "National Geographic: Inside North Korea" [1] gives a good insight of what is going on inside north korea. (Especially the end of the video). [1] http://www.megavideo.com/?v=KBMBL7GJ (vide

   This is just too awesome. Makes me jealous as all my lego went to my cousins many years ago. :( Anyone a good idea where you can get cheap lego stuff? (maybe china @ bulk order?)

    FUSE has been around for a while, it is really a great piece of software. Especially the many different language bindings make it interesting. Here is one for instance in Ruby (Hello World) http://www.debian-administration.org/article/Crea

    While I agree that his tone is wrong and he has problems of getting his message across, try to see it from his perspective. I have the feeling that he is very bitter about this because he cares so (or too) deeply. Free Software is his pet p

    Grellas, thank you for your time and interesting insight. Despite that probably your writing is more suitable for a blog post than a comment (over 2000 words).

    I think this poll is silly. What is the point of this? You're bound to forget somebody.

    You don't get "uppity" with Chinese officials. You either have a good connection to the government or you can do squat. Government ties is everything if you really want to get your business going. The real problem is the international compa

    One thing which this article forgot was that also the position of the emergency exit relative to your sitting place is important. If you don't sit in the max. range of 7 rows [1] to it, you are likely to not survive a crash due to people bl
