If it has a good view of some civilization I bet there are some point to point wireless internet providers in the area.

Looks like the path to code/data obscurity to me, why not have properly labeled fields for all the elements and save yourself the headache of remembering the fancy trick you implemented years ago.

For me I got into computers in the around 1980 in high school... So starting out pirated programs, and type-in stuff from magazines. Many programs were in BASIC so a lot of peeking and poking about in the code and memory to see what you co

Well from my perspective, you are either doing a better job or they are idiots when it comes to marketing. My first thought is putting a page on your site about how the competition is scared, address the false claims they make and maybe not

I recently was looking at computer events from 1983, at that time Apple sold it's 1 millionth apple ][ (released in 1977) and Commodore sold it's 1 millionth VIC-20 (this was a year after the c64 so it hadn't overtook the market just yet).

Was in SF for a month library, besides lots of places to plug in and work uninterrupted, the main branch has a huge selection of computer books.

How about at least a setup where authors have the first 24 hours from creation to easily delete their book, that will give lookie-loos like me a chance to cleanup after toying with the site.

I should also comment about the concept, I think its great! The big pluses are quick access to read and to create which simple, and folks could use it to make their own books. As a comparison, I use Dokuwiki for my site, which is similar b

I don't like the font or spacing or something... something about the proportions kinda makes it hard to read comfortably (I'm on a mid rez LCD display)... Also might help having the border/background being a different color (hmmm, maybe a

Quashing Innovation or merely sending C&D Notices to people scraping their data. There's a difference there. I'm sure if the author made his own real estate listing site (with it's own database/management/etc.and integrated maps on it)

Back in my BBS days, I ran a continuing story board. Something funny where one could knock off a few paragraphs and have fun writing it. Playing in that medium probably helped me more than most. It wasn't just me writing, so sometimes it

I've been pretty happy with Dokuwiki with a CMS template (DokuCMS). Used Dokuwiki in internal and external (with DokuCMS) sites. The editing is text based but not hard at all to grasp (I tell staff just copy the text from an already made

Depending on what you do your mileage may vary. What I was doing didn't fit in with what the then current frameworks offered - so I made my own... and that's how all those frameworks got their start as well. My suggestion is to look at the

This one is actually pretty good, slashdot has it moments... Both of these are good for general programming news bits not specific to particular languages.

8-bit/Microsoft BASIC - many a programmer today can draw their roots back to BASIC. It was the languages that made significant inroads to elementary-high school programming education as well as self-taught programming education.

Microcode - the process of developing a specific series of transistors to become a microprocessor.. The core of the magic. Especially how one can start up a microprocessor from pushing an on switch - that's the definition of sublime to me

One that has a lot of programming and hackerish humor is the Wizard's Bane series by Rick cook. Fantasy realm mixing programming and magic quite well.

I myself would say so if I can write effective code in it (beyond hello world) and understand the syntax. Many of the languages are too deep to know all the libraries, but you have enough skills with it and with a language guide or google

Don't look so critically at others code - everyone has their own style to programming, you can do much the same stuff with complex code as with simple, functional or object oriented. Glean what you can/want from it now and don't fret over

Well most of the issue I have with Linux is graphics compatibility, that being said, I'd recommend any with an nVidia GPU over one with an ATI one. With that you will certainly have a much better experience.

Keyboards are pretty flimsy nowadays (literally - with flexible circuit sheets, etc.), and depending on the type might take a bit of work to tear down to clean the parts, and my be a toss up on usability. That said, Google is your friend,

My thought is we are built for our world, you try tinker with the natural processes bad stuff will likely result. We know a lot about how we function, but we don't really get the big picture of how everything here on earth works with us an

I did this with my logo a while back, going through bunches of fonts... that being said the font selection here is kinda sparse... Second might be a good one to have a column view of the word(s) in the different faces where you could do a
