I've always been quite intrigued by the game of Rithmomachy. It was quite popular and even rivaled chess in popularity during it's hayday. You begin to understand it's complexity when you realize that "Proper Victories" are achieved by crea

Fear not, unless you have a Vicon system installed in your house. Most of these quadcopter demos involved very expensive motion capture systems to determine the location of the vehicles. Pretty much all of the control software is on a separ

I believe the Pandaboard comes with an RS232 connection. But you could also try the Beagleboard. You might want to take a look at the Gumstix Overo line and their various expansion boards, but I'm not exactly sure if they provide what you n

It's unfortunate because there are many people who either can't be vaccinated due to allergies or have other legitimate medical issues such as being too young for the vaccine, that rely upon the herd immunity of the portion of the populatio

I'm sure NASA would be just fine sending up a couple of their Robotnaut modules. This could actually provide a viable alternative for satellite/space station repair in lieu of manned shuttle flights. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yadj3asT

I'm sorry, but being able to perform arithmetic does not equate to higher intelligence or mental capacity. As society begins to perform more calculations via computer, it will allow us to begin address more abstract and higher level mathema

Perhaps you are misunderstanding my post, but I never said that people shouldn't change their minds or debate a subject (in fact I vehemently believe that they should). It's simply this forum is not a constructive place for that type of dis

I think this type of discussion is much better suited for personal environments. Strike this discussion up at the next HN Meetup in your area, or with your co-workers when you go out for drinks after work. Anonymous discussion of such topic

It certainly does seem that HN has become increasingly more political in recent days. Yes, I can understand a post on body-scanner technology and it's applications to travel security, but do we really need to see blog posts about how person
