   I've actually built what I refer to as my steambox, which is just a desktop computer hooked up to the tv in the living room. It's got a few 360 controllers plugged in and we've been playing games on that instead of the 360 that's also ther

   I'd recommend playing Mark of the Ninja. I sat there, thinking for a long time at the end. And if you like puzzles, there's spacechem.

   Steam was removing access to his account basically because it felt like he didn't pay for some games in it. Which is reasonableish (the ones he had from before really shouldn't be affected. It'd be better if it just removed the games he b

   Since the money was a gift to my brother, it wasn't tied to a bank account, which made paypal suspicious.

   PayPal backs out of a transaction and locks your account after you try and pay steam with it. Steam say, hey, you didn't pay us, we're locking your account and you lose all your games that you've bought so far. True story, happened to my b

   I have a project due for my second year cs class. It's in C++ and it had a lot of potential to be a fun project. We have to implement a game of hearts on the console. But they've stripped all the fun parts out. No shooting the moon, or br

    I haven't even kept a log like this, how useful do you find it? Is it similar to making a lot of small commits that you can search against?

    A GPS chip built into the centre of the Mine Sweeper tracks the device back to a website to chart a safe course. From http://australia.icbl.org/index_htm_files/May.pdf That's a good idea.

    There were a few sets, like the full Milkman set for the scout that gave him a 25hp set bonus, but it needed the hat.

    Hey, I implemented it in C using just posix threads. It's my first time using posix threads, but I think it's not wrong. I tried to copy go's channels. https://gist.github.com/4012855

    Be careful with Client Side Validation, because you can't trust the client. So this will help in displaying error messages faster for users, but you cannot assume that anything submitted to the server has actually been validated.

    I think it might be better if you could insert text in directly in prompt instead of having the slew of special characters that you had to drag in, and that ran out. It would also be good to have a way to colour specific parts of it differe

    This actually boosted Minecraft's sales, I think. I know that I've shown the game to a friend, and just left it there in the non-updating state and they ended up buying the game. It's how I had the game before I bought it.

    I think you should really have an rss feed, or at least make it easier to find it if you don't have one. ctrl+f, rss doesn't find anything.
