That's fine if you don't play flash games.

I think there's two main problems here at play: excessive criticism and discouragement. I actually like the first one, and most hackers I know do too. I've seen geeks take (possibly harsh) critics very well, way better than "normal" people.

I didn't mean to talk using the lightnings, just to make a background sound. Maybe map to the wave frequency to the speech volume or tone (harder). It would still be sine waves, but sounding slightly different based on the microphone.

Audio? What if instead of kinect, we used a microphone ? Maybe voice activated lightnings or a continuous electrical background for your phrases. A whole new meaning for "thundering voice".

True. But I still think it's appropriate because a) when talking about 4chan people don't think of the sane boards and b) the crazy boards hold a great chunk of the traffic (majority?), even if they are outnumbered (not that you need many o

what's interesting on the internet is open-source, non-profit, or not profit-motivated You forgot "balls-to-the-wall crazy". An unusual environment is more likely to advocate creativity, from where most of the interesting things s

As in "I'm the mad scientist and I'll write a book containing my evil phrases". For specific definitions of "mad" and "evil", of course.

Opera displays a Blank Page, Chrome attempts to play the video with no controls and Firefox tries do download the mp4 file. What on earth is going on here? EDIT: it was just taking too damn long. Could be my connection, though.

It took me a split second to realize why you weren't citing the source. So this phrase was just adapted into the book? I'm starting to fear you.

An original hack with great (if very geeky) humor. I'm much more interested in Kinect's application in this sort of stuff than in video games. Extra points for tesla coils, too.

I didn't know Google had this service. I found it brilliant. Interesting how the banner is black and white instead of the usual colorful logo.

Maybe they used software correction or a self-balancing camera apparatus.

Apparently there's someone called "<script>alert(1)</script>". Please sanitize this person's name before displaying it. Thank you.

It may not be new or unique, but I didn't know sleep was that important. And no, I'm not tired.

My username is, AFAIK, unique. Being able to recognize the same person can be extremely useful if you build things on different places. I think the trick is detaching it from your real life. If you are using the same username, don't list yo

Maybe you got up because it's a boring part. I think an autonomous system like this should assume the minimum possible.

Now we will have a great environment to work with when HTML5 gets solid acceptance. Can we stop with the silly demos, people complaining "it doesn't work on my browser!" and articles on how a couple of tags would kill Flash? I for one can't

Funny how it's a non-problem for some other languages, like Portuguese. While English allows you to naturally create whole sentences using one-syllable words, it's horribly hard to even put two one-syllable words side-by-side in Portugues

Bonus points for "What should it look like if he is [right]?" and "Maybe there's something I should do differently?" What I really like about LessWrong is that the advices are actionable. I had Philosophy and Sociology classes in high-schoo

This FAQ is much better than many tutorials and guides I've seen around, at least for someone who knows a little. Funny how I don't remember ever encountering it when search for help.

If you are having performance problems, make sure you have "Enable Hardware Acceleration" checked on the right-click -> settings -> display menu.

Finally, 3D at an affordable cost! (I hope) Flash has always been great for experimental games. In a few hours you can make a functioning prototype, upload it to a big website and let people see your work. I look at Kongregate and Newground

Visiting fairsearch.org I felt trolled. All arguments resolve around Google filtering results to harm competition, but the reasons to why Google would that and why ITA isn't doing that are shallow at best. Making a big frowning robot squa

What baffles me that we are trying to convince programmers to support Unicode while many programs and websites won't even accept special symbols. In passwords. I mean, how dumb does the system have to be to reject the @ char in the password

Excellent insight. Looking back, people would clearly avoid sites that tell them how insecure their accounts are, even if it's for a feel good measure.

Estimating time with dictionary attacks would be hard because, well, you have to have a dictionary at hand to see how far down the list the word is. Personally, I would make a list of the top 1k or 10k most common passwords and assign a ver

"password" -> "This password would take 0.1 seconds to crack" "betterpassword" -> "This password would take 15 seconds to crack" "S89&;al(l_2z0Z¨" -> "This password would take 56 years to crack" Security by fear?
