To what are you referencing with the word Idiocy? Minsky winning a prize? "But the evidence is overwhelming. The evidence cannot be denied." OK, so provide the irrefutable evidence instead of your opinionated, anecdotal &qu

I must be pure evil and morally deprived because I liked 2048 and even worse, I use linux, a free operating system that clearly copied ideas from paid operating systems for the sole purpose of devaluing them

"One day, the technique may even allow us to gaze into the faces of extinct human-like species that interbred with our own ancestors." I don't know how accurate that statement is. They can predict human faces because they can

Mostly works for me in firefox, the far right column of the grid does not show, but all of the functionality works. It is a little annoying that you have to click and drag instead of using the arrows, but I guess that's because it is m

While Python is likely more widely installed than Ruby, I still don't understand, why use Python to run a bunch of shell scripts? Why not use the shell to run the scripts? for f in scripts/*;do #logrotate here sc

Perhaps this is why Pandora has the annoying "I'm still listening" button, so they don't have to pay out royalties on things their users aren't listening to.

I agree, the same argument could probably have been made of postscript (ps) at some point in time and while it's still around, most (non-technical) people don't use it.

Yeah, that background is awful.

why do I have to use ruby to install shell scripts? Why not wget or curl or GET?

The only way my linux machine has ever locked up is the usb driver seemed to crash in which case I couldn't do this anyways. The only other way I could have possibly restarted is to ssh to my machine from my phone, I opted for the powe

I don't want to detract from what you are saying but you have a few typos in the article. at one point you have "star-up" and in the very last sentence, "complement" should be "compliment."

This is very fun and addicting, now I just have to get some work done.

Is it just that you are in a different timezone than the author?

The purple animal thing has the hands render at the wrong place (not the center) on my machine, cool idea though.

PROJECT GENERATOR for black people. seems a little racist to me.

As somebody who has spent lots of time trying to find free (for academic use) data in natural language processing, I really hope this becomes quite popular.

Overall, great font! The only thing that I don't like is the lowercase i, but maybe I am just being picky. All of the characters are very easy to distinguish.

Also bitdefender: http://download.bitdefender.com/rescue_cd/2013/ and AVG: http://www.avg.com/us-en/download.prd-arl although I am not sure if they are linux based.

I find the intro paragraph kind of funny that "Lisp sure beats the hell out of Java for text processing". The reason that I find it funny is that The Stanford Parser/Stanford CoreNLP library is one of the more popular toolkit

Sound is cool at first but then gets way annoying. I had never heard of radix sort, 0 comparisons. Are you planning on adding more sorting algorithms like mergesort?

I actually use Arch although I do like Debian too.

I think it's time for a Gubunto that uses GNOME instead of Unity. :-)

I disagree that it's the most popular way of working. Perhaps that is true just in mathematics, physics, and maybe even computer science but unlikely to be true in many other fields. Let's be realistic and realize that the majorit

That was my initial thought too, but I suspect that most people would get only once or twice a week from this on days that they are busy. 20$ per week for 2 dinners wouldn't be that bad to have them delivered. BTW I am not in the Bay A
