I've strongly believed that formal education should involve "reinventing the wheel" with some knowledge before hand, but to push creativity, inspiration, and adaptation when further knowledge is gained. It's how I've taught myself so much,

Hopefully this is a similar view to other students here, but I would drop the class/change professors (even if that meant going into a larger class). Being in an environment where cheating is allowed is not somewhere that I want to be, much

It's already happening. In the future we'll know thing like who out of our friends has bought this bad, who has bought this brand, who bought competitor brands, what do people think of this brand, and we'll have ways to communicate with th

To bold text you surround that text with asterisks. Like this* GEEKY ALERT! Italicize? Put underscores around the text. Strikeout? Put hyphens around it.* Really? The most trivial markdown syntax is for the Geeks only? I don't want to liv

There are tens of thousands of websites currently using CloudFlare's network. Some of them contain information I find troubling. Such is the nature of a free and open network and, as an organization that aims to make the whole Internet fas

Many of the traits that correlate with “outsider” status among high school students — originality, self-awareness, courage, resilience, integrity and passion — reveal themselves as assets later in life. Those are also useful, for well, an

Question: Who wants to work for a government that locks up its citizens for using TrueCrypt or exploring around, as the hackers they have now grew up? It seems to me that they have cut off their "user base" from the very thing it requires t

This reminds me of a story from Feynman where he was with a math friend and they were trying to multi-task. Yet, they ended up going about the two things (counting for a minute while reading or speaking) in completely different ways. (Diffe

DDG won't build a profile about you; it only returns the most relevant links to the keywords entered. The original Google search, only on today's web.

Also, I think it's unfair to generalize that young developers ask more questions. Perhaps the young developers have worked on something else for five years, thus they may be "old" in that domain, but new elsewhere. If you bring in someone w

This is similar to something I experienced in trying to start a computer club at my university. I was the president of the club last year and I was trying to involve people with what, I guess, is classified as "hard CS". I wanted to get som

I'm not trying to imply that. Yes, I do think it's reasonable to require a Facebook account for college students. We also publicize the events in local papers, flyers, word of mouth, and even our blog. Facebook is the best way to get >8

(I'm involved with several student groups on campus.) Facebook is an amazing tool for getting people out to your events. It doesn't matter if the event is really "public" because the only people who could make it (or that will come) will al

I totally agree with you. I started to come here a little over two years ago (one-ish with an account) and I've noticed the definite slide towards less "hackerish" statements. This site really exposed me to the raw hacker mindset (other tha

"I decided to copy the JavaScript and create a library" Anyone else worried about using this now? Let alone owning it? (Until I see a license on the original.)

Also, is distracted from school work by outside projects. If you add that then you have me right now. I don't care enough to crank out a 4.0; I'd rather work on my projects that interest and push me further than assignments ever will.

Item 37 has an error, it reads "In their April 21, 2001" which should be "In their April 21, 2011". Nothing big, just important for correctness.

It would be really cool to see how many websites failed because of this. Mashing up the amount of caching that actually goes on would be a cool metric to further improve CDN's with, anyone agree?

I'm saying the same thing; a site dedicated to web security, and an article about protecting yourself from JS attacks, doesn't work without JS...
