I'd endorse a script that auto-submits "Richard Feynman and the Connection Machine" every 2 weeks. It'd have a deeper psychological impact than just putting "Please search before posting" on the submissions page, and it's an article every n

I find it exciting that there are others who have also realized that programming skills are going to be as necessary to success today as reading and writing have been for the past few centuries. I had the same epiphany last year and wrote a

As his first post reveals, he started writing the blog a week after his libel suit was dismissed. It's never too late to correct what you believe are inaccuracies that hurt your reputation. Everything he's posted since then has been fascina

Perhaps by spending the coin you put your backup copy of the wallet in a state where it disagrees with "the network". In which case he's making a very important point: backups are not enough, they have to be realtime synchronized backups.

The second monitor still requires me to spend a large percentage of my time manipulating rectangles. Nor is there anything impractical about process migration. I suspend and resume Windows VMs all the time, and Windows wasn't designed for t

That's not really true. If I'm writing a book, I don't need anything more than a word processor on that device. If I'm browsing research material on another device, there's nothing breakthrough about the idea of transferring that material t

After using modern smartphones and tablet computers I'm starting to think that the last thing we need is more innovation in how to manage lots of little windows on a medium sized screen. I don't want another window manager, even if it auto-

Presumably Apple is obligated to support everything on everything, simply so it isn't seen as "demonstrating its might". Apple has said no to technologies like Flash, USB3 and Blu-Ray for their own reasons and only for their own devices, wh

The professor giving the lecture is Fyodor Urnov, and by the end of the lecture he is on fire. This lecture is part of Berkeley's webcasts of the MCB 140 General Genetics course. It's a fantastic example of how great it is that anyone can n

You're right, upmodded. I think that every business should listen to its customers, though obviously not without having a grand vision in mind. That will mean losing customers, but each business has a risk at its heart. I think rejecting Fl
