It's not censorship. Your rights have not been abridged. It's a free service with terms of use, provided by a corporation. This is not a police action by an authoritarian government, stopping people from expressing Constitutionally-protec

Let me try again: I'm only blogging about my friend because HE is being pedantic! Again: After 17 months and countless hours of debate, I believe I've finally crafted the perfect argument to prove to my friend once and for all that HE is th

So, his friend is not entitled to believe that consistency and self-discipline are different things? What's the key to your success? Consistency! Ah, you mean self-discipline! No, I mean consistency - they're different. PEDANT! Why is it pe

"On my machine, testing the prime number 27,644,437 took about 1.2 milliseconds with a k value of 50 (far higher than you’ll probably need for your applications.)" I'm sorry, but WHAT? Writing the dumbest implementation of trial-division th

Mono (actually a fork of it) can already compile C# to run on Chrome NativeClient. So, you're very close, there. Also, this: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/2009-June/090038...

Wow, wow, wow. So, can someone write a tutorial about how to develop a C# OpenTK + FMod application, and get it running on Mono, in Native Client? That would be awesome to see.

I think 10,000 quadcopters might be able to do something really amazing. I'm back down to "dog-sized," and I'm back to small payloads. It's a design challenge to come up with useful atomic units that such a robot could lift, but the numbe

I can imagine something like this being very useful in situations that are complicated by the environment. For instance, in a setting like Chernobyl or Fukushima. Or in a war-zone. I picture a Google Chauffeur (self-driving) truck, bringi

It's interesting, if you look at the Worldwide numbers, Chrome seems to be on a steady progression. But if you look at North America or USA, you see that both Firefox and Chrome had a fairly significant dip in the last set of numbers, whil

Why do some schools have Computer Aided Design and Drafting classes? Or Wood Shop? Or an Auto Shop? Or Art? To get kids excited about learning how to do things they haven't done before.

You're missing a step - This new format produces smaller files, and is therefore faster on the internet. You can choose a benefit that you derive from that - less bandwidth cost per user, more users per bandwidth cost, faster page load time

What you SHOULD do is set up two-factor authentication for your Google account. It's annoying, but not nearly as annoying as having a keylogger in a hotel lobby computer steal your password.

Yes, they're necessary, so you can tell the difference. Companies were already making G+ Profiles, even though it was against the terms of use.

You make excellent points. Here's my problem: "The exact design has changed repeatedly; originally the one-megawatt generator was to be composed of three hundred small E-Cats, then it was 52 larger "fat cats", now the number seems to be 43

Many people think GoogleTV is pointless, because they can't imagine throwing away their current TV (or blu-ray, or DVR) to buy one. That's not the point. The point is that it's a good feature to have, and soon enough it will be silly for yo

I'm sorry, but how is it at all difficult to figure out if a black box has more or less total electrical output than input? You put in electricity, but output steam? Fine, use a steam turbine to make out electricity, or whatever technology

why are you building a datacenter on a floodplain? Every spot in our solar system is susceptible to some unrecoverable disaster. If you don't want to lose your data, you have to have copies in more than one physical location.

What is wrong with blog posts Lately I've been reading a lot of blog posts assailing a technology as though proponents of that technology think all other tools are useless in all situations. Replace "GWT" and "JS" in this article with "C++"
