Various stack-exchange sites. I'm more of a hardware type so the Electrical Engineering stack-exchange is the one I frequent most.

This doesn't help much, but an excerpt from his previous news update when the special hit $500K: "Minus some money for PayPal charges etc, I have a profit around $200,000 (after taxes $75.58). This is less than I would have been paid by a l

They are using the audio jack to send command data to the robot base. Notice how the iphone is not connected through a dock or 30-pin connector. Very clever indeed! Making a "real" iphone accessory through the 30-pin connector is simply n

Fair distinction. Half-Life 2 SDK open sources a decent amount of code. Take a look at his source code, a lot of it is a re-implementation of Valve's map and model data structures in Javascript with similar naming convention. Hence why I

Minor remark about the headline: This appears to be a TF2 map loaded into a minimal Source Engine WebGL port as an example. TF2 itself was not ported, just enough of the Source Engine components to load a map - he could've used a map file

Wow, now that I think about it, I haven't committed 9 years to anything remotely productive yet. Coming on 5 years with electronics, programming, and guitar/music (started all of these in college!). The electronics and programming are pa

I imagine their digital distribution system (Steam) is very much like what you described (complex, interconnected, scalable systems). Valve is quite diverse.

This estimate is accurate. I decided to total my tuition for a computer engineering degree at UBC (started in 2005) and it comes to $26,797 - before tax, without housing, and all other mandatory school fees included. Those who are starting

Not to put too much weight on these University "rankings" but I would say that the two schools you cited aren't exactly comparable. The University of Toronto consistently ranks top 40 in the world. Again, not to discount other schools and

The only time that I've ever really needed a laptop was at college. I was constantly on the go, always in a collaborative environment with others, working on projects or assignments, etc. But when I got home and needed to really hunker d

I had a similar question with a twist asked of me during an interview. It went something like this: Given a list of all the short strings in the periodic table of elements (e.g. Na, F, Al, etc) and a list of all the words in the English lan

That's more or less what I read as well. Keep his audience in mind: Berklee music students. Talented, young, bright and ambitious - he's just telling them to sort themselves out and "find themselves" first. Promotion can come after quality

I have one of GHI's budget offerings in arduino form factor, the FEZ Panda II, and I really like it. In terms of quick prototyping and debugging I think the .NET Micro-framework is a hit. However, I don't see it being useful outside of t

If anyone hasn't seen this yet, I highly recommend watching this interview with Gabe Newell conducted by a high school marketing/economics class: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOMI0BxB0yA Gabe Newell is a founder of Valve Software and I

I think what the OP meant was paying for their content distribution servers, not game servers.

The hope is, on the utility side, that the introduction of "smart grid" and "smart metering" technology will help to introduce staggered scheduling of smart appliances and devices such that they do not add significantly to peak times. For e
