Hopefully this will move some of the trade volume on other markets. Having most of the trade of a decentralised currency on one market is not a good idea, and I see it as something that goes against the idea of decentralisation.

That's nice but that is hardly a skyscraper. By the look of it the building is around 15 floors high... let's say around 40m high. The author was talking about putting trees at 500feet in the air, that's 152m... considerably more.

Done with the web , moving to Google to work on Google Now; an app that relies heavily on web services to provide information to users... I don't know why but I don't see that as being done with the web. I see it as changing jobs/projects,

I think people should read Paul Graham's article one more time! http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html I get a feeling some people are desperate for attention (otherwise I can't justify many of her blog posts). Anyway, I think there's too muc

I guess my itch is the fact that at work I do the same thing almost every day (make them websites, add guest checkout, style the page, integrate X and Y's API). It's becoming tedious and boring. I think my learning curve is now flat. I need

This seems to be awesome. I used XNA to build a Xbox 360 game for my dissertation. I really enjoyed working with XNA and this will allow me to build something that can run on mobile devices and Win8... awesome! I guess games are the best ch

I'll definitely take a look into a Lisp language. I guess it will also make me learn some maths (lambda calculus) (one can never know too much math :D)

Thank you for suggesting SICP... It seems pretty good and it will definitely help me see programming from a better place. As for Pascal... it's been roughly 9 years since I last wrote something in it. You definitely made me want to "give it

I do work with these everyday (JS HTML CSS) but the JS I write is basic and can't really be considered proper JS (in my opinion). I think you are right and I could give it a go... probably do a Win8 App and get the grips on JavaScript and t

I don't understand this at all. Why would one get sentenced to prison for producing an obscene video? Isn't all porn obscene? Aren't all horror movies obscene? Don't get me wrong... I don't approve of the "artistic" qualities of the film, I

Same thing happens to me (Chrome/OS X), even on the github page ( http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap/javascript.html#carousel ) There must be a bug. Edit Tried it in Firefox - OS X and Chrome - Win7 .. same thing :(

This is weird.. I placed an order with element 14 and I received the RPi in less than 3 weeks. To be honest I am a little bummed as I got mine less than a month ago .. and I have the 256MB one... Could have done with 512

I don't really have time to google everything or to go on and ask everyone I meet: "Hey .. how are you? Do you know some cool stuff about computers and IT that you could share with me... see I'm trying to learn new stuff".. This is why i ju

I think that this "Jobs would have done" attitude is wrong and far from constructive. First of all Jobs wasn't a genius, wasn't a saint, he was a very good techy entrepreneur. I think this is the right move on from Apple; they messed up big

I sure hope this exploit gets a lot of attention, in this way most people will understand the importance of upgrading their browser and thus... we, web developers, will not have to support crappy browsers (IE7 I'm looking at you!) :D

Let's not forget about how this helps new bands to put their music out.. and even get some money out of it. They don't need to chase a record label and they don't need to pay agents and so on. It's a great way to reward artists and a great

Music is very important to me... a lot of genres.. depending on the kind of work I need to do: if I am building something complex which requires a lot of concentration I go for ambient music or even classical. If, on the other hand, I have
