Last I checked it is possible to remove all the DRM from the Kindle e-books you buy and back them up in a portable format. It takes quite a few steps (utilizing a PID generator and MobiDeDRM), but I am sure you can automate the process.

Have you considered putting some of code back into a C extension? You could probably get back most of the lost performance with only a little bit of C.

An article in SF Chronicle provides some good perspective on these vacancy rates in China to backup this video: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2011/07/07/... Even in the huge industrial cities of Shanghai and Beijing the

Sure the C interface is clunky and the error messages can be a little hard to trace their source, but it sure beats having to write all that code from scratch. Most projects I have seen that make heavy use of OpenCV use a few C++ wrapper c

The ideas here are interesting, but they are going to need much better documentation to prove to me they provide $600 worth of value. For now I will stick with Boost Test which is a simple to use cross platform C++ unit testing library, and

In domains with real time performance constraints it's difficult to use anything but C or C++. Many of those domains are at the forefront of current technological development, so I wouldn't lump C++ in with COBOL just yet.

I think people resent how Facebook is trying to become the web, in similar way to how AOL did (remember when some companies advertised AOL keywords). They are doing this on top of a platform that is closed, and is mostly a black box for yo

He is actually saying the opposite. He is saying that your CS department is doing you a disservice if it hasn't covered the basics listed by the original poster (OS hacking, theory, making a toy language, etc.). My schooling covered all o

The often used counter example to countries like Norway is you have a more homogeneous population of people, which leads to less internal social strife. I am not saying your system does not provides benefits over the way we treat crimina

I think you make a good point in the foot print area, but isn't 2100 pretty close in human terms? We already have CNC machines, 3D printers, automated semi-conductor factories, etc. I for one would be very impressed if we could make a ful
