I must say you really sold the Musashi book to me. Definitely going to buy it next time I buy books. Thanks.

What happens when I copy and paste? Do I copy the code points, or the encoded characters--the bytes--along with what encoding is used? Similarly, when I paste, is it the code points I paste which are instantaneously encoded using the applic

The book's target audience is obviously "business people," so I'd say he really doesn't need to know details about 37signals specifically. The review was wonderfully British -- "What is it about Americans that they think 10 years is a long

The best note-taking app I've yet to find is Notational Velocity: http://notational.net/ Completely mouse-free and uncluttered. Also, it doesn't make the mistake to organize the notes, since this is usually impossible and a waste. EDIT: w

I got Lego! Brilliant idea from my brother, and I must say that I enjoyed it just as much now (I'm 22) as I did ten years ago.

Cool, these guys study at my university (Chalmers)! I like how they effectively use the music as a component in the game.

I would love to see the same kind of list, but for fiction books. I can't think of any fiction right now that have a clear connection to the spirit of entrepreneurship, but I'm fairly sure there must be. For example a book portraying determ

Really liked it! However, it was too easy, even on level 19 (where I stopped playing). New typefaces should perhaps be released every level, and only give sans/sans or serif/serif alternative answers to each question.

I love this kind of TED talks. One of Alain's main arguments was that the "kinder, gentler" philosophy of success should partly be based on the negative implications of meritocracy, i.e. "if you are at the bottom, you deserve to be there an

Very interesting article. I myself have a fairly strong ambition to become rich. Not for the money in itself but for the -- as Dennis mentions -- the making of the money. "Problem" is that I'm Swedish and thus live in Sweden. Becoming rich

Personally I'm getting tired of all this college bashing. Nowhere else can the most people build up the biggest contacts' network, greatest knowledge and the best personal development for the shortest amount of time. Sure thing, there's alw

With "Asian-American" I meant international students temporarily studying abroad, NOT Americans of Asian descent. I see no racism when referring to the first group, since the Chinese education system (I'm only familiar with the Chinese and

Interestingly, my impression is that this is exactly the strategy that Asian-Americans _don't_ use. While I completely agree on your argument, I don't see many people driven by the beauty fo the craft itself. My guess is that competition an

According to Wired's Chris Anderson it's all but dead. His coming book is about this very subject, called "FREE". Until the release, take a look at this article (and video clip) by Anderson himself: http://www.wired.com/techbiz/it/magazine

Ah, thank you for the explanation. I digged around a little, and the base acceptance rate of all university applications was 54% för 2008. This is an aggregated number. For Sweden's most prestigeous med school (Karolinska Institutet) the nu

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "base acceptance rate". But the universities usually accept around 50% based on high school grades, 25% based on the entrance exam and a further 25% on mixed backgrounds (professional experience, prior un
