I lived in Beaverton (very close to Portland) many years ago. I highly recommend the Gorge (Multnomah fall in particular), Crater Lake, and Cannon Beach.

Cool. Didn't see that. I think the line-by-line comparison was interesting. I looked at it very carefully and there is no doubt this is either directly copied (and edited), or directly "transcribed".

As always, Google did an excellent job making money left and right. You gotta give them credit for that. On the other hand, they are a bit "disingenuous" (Jobs' favorite word to describe Google) about their mantra, as ultimately this profi

Probably because of THE grudge (about Apple being abandoned by Adobe in its darkest hour), lack of respect for Adobe (calling them out as lazy), overlapping products (the dependency on Adobe is smaller than you think), unwillingness to furt

10minutemail.com is cool. Thank you. But recently it has not been working for me. Are websites catching on and blacklisting 10minutemail domains? Anyway to counter that?

It's just a name. I got an undergrad degree in "Computer Science & Engineering". If you have to nitpick, what I studied was not strictly about "Computer", "Science", or "Engineering". It has bits of computer as in how to build a compu

I was also able to reproduce the original post's JPG distortion result using Pixlr (not just GIMP). Here's the 1920x1200 JPG compressed at 0% quality (resulting file is ~60KB) and subsequently uploaded to Imgur. http://imgur.com/dZN2B At

I think this is a great idea, but the result is very noisy. For example, my site, Tagxedo ( http://www.tagxedo.com ) was started just 5 months ago but I saw links from blog articles that date back to 2007. The link is there (side bar) but

I can't comment on Varini-like approaches, but I also happened to like the TSP work. Other works that are also visually pleasing I would like to mention are: + Roger Alsing's genetic algorithm work on using triangles to represent any image
