Sounds like an up to date version of logowriter to me. I think anything that teaches kids to program early is a good thing.

I liked this, but the site is likely not expecting as high volume of traffic as it is receiving, if it doesn't load for you right away (like it did for me) just wait a few minutes and try again.

In linux you could write a script with xdotool to select the window you want and spam whatever key/sequence of keys you would like.

I have javascript enabled but I use a firefox plugin called ghostery and didn't realize that I needed to disable it.

Maybe I am missing something, but why is this interesting? Is it because you copied the source from the google homepage and didn't change the links?

I think I will set my age in google to 17 so that I don't have to worry about these privacy concerns.

Depends on what margin of this is profit. If they're not making money through nonpayment then they would be losing money each transaction.

I looked at Fisher's site for the pen and saw that you can get them engraved. Tried to type a heart in the way that they mention alt-3 and learned that alt-# switches to tab # in firefox. Apparently ctl-# is the windows equivalent. Coo

What is your definition of hypocrisy? Perhaps it's just me, but I don't see, first of all, how he was being hypocritical. Second of all, you are also "goofing around on HN" so why are you giving this person so much crap?

Depends on your hardware I suppose. I got it working the first try but had the unfair "advantage" that I had already had experience with installing Ubuntu on a laptop with sli before the Nvidia drivers included support for it and

This is awesome, I am going to divide by linux in my code everywhere in an attempt to obfuscate what I am doing.

I know you already have quite a few answers to this, but you could also use makedepend.

In general I, at age 26, agree that experience gained with age can provide a strong benefit in terms of code organization, management, interpersonal relations, and many other factors. I think it's a gross misrepresentation, however, to

I think some of the less explored portions of LFS contain well-documented reasoning for implementing some of these things yourself. For example there is a single solution (out of the many ways to solve this problem) to the package manager d

I take quite a big issue with the statement "The lack of information and documentation on developing OSes is, in my opinion, a pretty big problem" There are entire forums for this, ie osdev http://wiki.osdev.org/Ex

I suspect that the $500 figure does not account for the wage that the parent(s) would be making if they were working. Defining a number that would be good to compare is probably quite difficult because different people would spend different

Kind of cool, but doesn't allow much customization of the music. I'll stick with my terminal and pianobar for now.

I meant that I found it humorous that Cocoa (chocolate) was being described as "vanilla" on the platform. Purely language, not anything to do with the wrapper.
