The exact same thing happened to me. I wish that you could edit a sentence rather than delete and re-add it with corrections.

Sure because there are always different levels of skill and desire. My self-worth is dependent on how well I think I solved a given problem, not the fact that there are others who could solve it also.

In the comments: http://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2009/08/self-enforcing... someone brings up the situation where there is only one item (Grandma's antique mirror) and how you can use the shotgun clause to determine who gets the item

I disagree. I love the WiFi on my G1. It's all but replaced my home laptop for gmail/twitter.

One difference is that you can 'print' things that you can't make a mold for. see http://www.bathsheba.com/sculpt/ and http://www.bulatov.org/metal/index.html

Agreed. I once worked for 37 days straight. (weekends were 6-8 hours a day, weekdays were at least 12) and it is not something I care to repeat. I was much younger, didn't have a family and was living in a city that I had just moved to

About 4 years ago I was assigned to an internal project that was to provide a GUI CRUD interface in VB.Net to replace one written in curses on Linux. There were 50-75 attributes for the main entity plus multiple hierachical subsets of sub-

I'm pretty sure it doesn't have a battery. No need since it doesn't have a clock.

I have a //c that was purchased in 1985 that still works but it is rarely booted these days (not even once a year). I also would expect it to last basically forever because it doesn't have a hard disk. My floppy disks might demagnetize bu

That quote is hanging in my cube at eye-level. Related: "A plan is a list of things that don't happen." (which Google tells me is from a movie called "The Way of the Gun")

Against all odds, Chrome is my primary browser also (Windows for both work and home). I'm addicted to the speed and stable memory footprint and I only use FF for Firebug. I tend to leave my systems up for days at a time and I would always

I like sound of the 'bitsboltsandvolts' ones but don't have specific ideas to develop it.

Just as a data point for you to consider, I know the NXT 2.0 are supposed to be out in August. I am waiting for 2.0 but maybe you could find some deals on the 1.0 versions. Just FYI

While I don't have the skill/time to take on a project like this I really loved the book 'Code' by Charles Petzold. It walks you through the design of a CPU starting from nothing. There is also 'From NAND to Tetris in 12 steps', I haven't

Totally a matter of taste. I, for one, completely disagree. :-)

From your review, I see that you have only read one book out of the BC trilogy. In this case, I'm pretty sure you can't dismiss it without reading all of it. After finishing BC, do a careful re-read of Cryptonomicon. You will find a lot

While I agree BC was dense, I still think it was very good. I'm not really into heavy reading like that but I've still been through the trilogy twice. I whole heartedly recommend any Neal Stephenson. (I wasn't completely enamored with Di

I do this too. I basically am a non-functioning writer unless I am on a computer. I guess I'm lucky I was born when I was. Side note. Neal Stephenson wrote the Baroque Cycle out long hand. This post ( http://blog.wired.com/sterling/2009/

I remember these days from high school with my Apple //c. I took a copy of almost everything I came across. I bought unmarked floppy disks in bulk and made a new write protect notch with a hole punch to make my disks doubled sided. Severa
