I don't like the idea because it's lending value to the argument that Kickstarter is a retail pre-order service. It isn't. People pledging money for projects need to understand that there are many factors of risk involved.

Interesting, i'd never heard about that until pretty recently. To be honest, when I think of Lokitron all I think of is the deadbolt product, and then mostly manufacturing/shipping delays.

Now there's an interesting idea. Instead of a solid axle between the two door handles you could have a split axle and some sort of dynamo. If you gadget dies you just sit there and crank the handle around a few times. I'm picturin

I was diagnosed with Lyme disease when i was in elementary school, ~5th grade. No rash was noticed. It wasn't until days later than my knees had swollen so bad that I couldn't walk without significant pain that my teachers and par

Proper version control strategies have been employed by larger projects and more established mod authors for quite a while now. See Pahimar, Forestry, MinecraftForge, Sponge, Bukkit (now DMCA'd) on Github. Minecraft is probably attract

Its not just the moving, it's the extreme range of head motion. I've been trying out Minecrift with my DK2 and you get sick of looking up and down at extreme angles very quickly.

IANAL These are just some of my opinions gathered from information surrounding the Bukkit drama. I have spent a good deal of time this week researching what I could, but I can very well be wrong. I'm not arguing that anyone, including

It's kind of terrifying to visit my parents place in the countryside. I actually need my headlights. While it's not going to be safe for everyone, I could very well drive across my brightly-lit metro area with no driving lights,

Craftbukkit was never licensable under the LGPL. From the projects inception, it contained proprietary, closed-source Mojang code used without a license. It's LGPL license was invalid from the start. From the get go we were plagued

Already done. Well, your first suggestion. Minecraft: The Story of Mojang http://www.minecraftstoryofmojang.com/ It was funded through Kickstarter.

This also highlights why client side mods (Forge based or not) are the vast minority of 'Modded Minecraft'. Configuring a Bukkit server would still have taken some work, but it also only required that to be expended on the server

Better, if you still have contacts, I encourage you to reach out to some of those devs involved. Otherwise, read wisely. It seems that Bukkit had just been going on too long under it's quasi-relationship with Mojang. Semi-blessed but n

Some modders are still working on porting their Minecrift mod, to the 1.7.10 version of Minecraft. The latest is still beta, but it works. http://www.mtbs3d.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=142&t=17489&p=12...

Notch has been enjoying the independence so much that he's also not very involved with Mojang anymore. He hasn't worked on Minecraft in quite a while and last 'big' expectation, 0x10c didn't develop very far. Notch

The Minecraft modding community just had a ridiculous few weeks with the various dramas surrounding Bukkit (a popular, extensible server mod). I can't wait to see what the reactions are to this news.

I use Oh Life for daily email journaling. One feature I really like is the "Oh snap, remember this? X days ago you wrote..." prompt, where X doesn't always equal 365. The random retrospective glances are great. For example, w

Only in my car on my rather short commute. I only take in about 30 minutes of the programs/songs in a session. It still seems very natural to me to listen in the car. Flipping it on at home seems a bit odd to me though.

For all the configurable internal guts and how much people have issues with keyboard layout i wish manufacturers had options for the keyboard on their mid-high tier laptops.
