There are still good domains out there. I just bought nect.us, for example (so I can do con.nect.us)

I don't have any plans to ever support it. I think it's an ill-conceived system that teaches users to fall prey to identity theft.

Since I have a really terrible memory, I would jump on a memory drug in an instant. As it stands, I'm thinking of getting a prescription for modafinil (this article mentions Provigil, which is just a brand name for modafinil). There are al

I would just like to recommend that you keep track of where each bit of information comes from. A system that regurgitates knowledge is only as good as its sources, so keep track! This is something that would have to be in place before yo

I had no idea that Waterloo was so into security research. I'm pleasantly surprised to see that some of the people in the department help develop OTR, which I've been using for just over a year (it was especially comforting while I was stu

By security, I mean cryptography, intrusion detection systems, firewalls, and web-based attacks (like SQL injection, XSS, and the like). I consider computer security to be equal parts mathematics and engineering (even the best cryptosystem

I can't find anything about it online, but going from the word of my adviser while I was studying in China, there was a woman there who did something similar to this and is now very wealthy. IIRC, she paid people to wait around in lobbies

Shock! Horror! Diffie-hellman in javascript is a really bad idea. Javascript would be unbearably slow for the size numbers you'd have to work with for a good implementation of DH, if it could even represent numbers that large. From http:

Thanks for the recommendation for voicejet, I just signed up and happy to see that they gave me a $.25 credit so I can test for free before I commit to them!

I have to use LaTeX for my number theory & elliptic curve cryptography class. I'll be sure to use this on the next team-project.

I'm in my third year of Mandarin study, and I spent last summer in China. I'm not very good at speaking the language (but I do try). I've thought about business in China, but I have so many problems with their government that I'm not sure

Well that's a weird name for a website. Tudou means potato. I'm still not fluent, but their slogan "mei ge ren dou shi sheng huo de dao yan" means something like "everyone is a director," or maybe closer to "everyone lives the life of a d

My partner and I are really struggling with this question. We first answered with the absolutely lowest amount we'd take (250k), but after thinking about it, we've decided to revise. Our answer is now along the lines that we can't possibl

That sounds like a good compromise. The real life example and a detailed description of the application process really shouldn't be part of the description, so I think adding them as extra resources at the end is ok. I wouldn't expect the

I think jey is right, if it's the answer to "What is your company going to make?" then you're in trouble. You need to be able to refine your idea into something easily expressible and understandable. Our only long answer is to "What might

Unfortunately they are licensing it under "Microsoft Reference License" which means read-only access. While not the ideal access mode, I think its certainly a step in the right direction. A little bit at a time, and sooner or later Micros

I'd also recommend against getting a loan. Finding an investor might be more effort, but you really don't want the added pressure of possibly losing your personal assets as well as everything else if your business tanks.

Stars of the Lid is great, thanks for the recommendation. I tend to listen to ambient stuff when coding. Shpongle, Bonobo, Boards of Canada, Andrew Coleman, Bill Laswell, Birdy Nam Nam (definitely not ambient), Broken Social Scene are all

I don't know if I'm the only one, but I'm getting increasingly worried that Google will become too big and too powerful. Google already knows more about me than I'm comfortable with, but damn it if gmail isn't great. I would really prefer

My plans are to spend as little as possible on living expenses. Just need one room and a kitchen for me and my co-founder. Food shouldn't be too much since I love to cook (no need to buy packaged food) and I'm sure there's more than a cou
