I've used FreeBSD or OpenBSD on my laptops for years but I've recently given up; while they're both nice operating systems (including on the desktop, especially if you use DesktopBSD) they lack some things I need (mostly embedded software d

Well, a company still living in the 90s should have a matching website.

I've noticed that, over time, programmers (including myself) tend to break some punctuation rules. I guess it's because we don't write: char *foo = "bar;"

It's just that people have a different opinion of what good style is (a lot of people love Comic Sans MS and websites with animated, blinking stuff).

A bubble happens when people buy something (stock, real estate or even tulip bulbs!) that they know is overvalued, on the ground that some "greater fool" will arrive later in the party and buy it at a still higher price. It's a kind of Ponz

I don't get it either. They seem to be targetting rich gadget freaks; there's nothing wrong with that but it's a bit risky: early adopters will buy and play with the thing, then move to the newest fad. Their platform include all the "high-e

I guess it's more automated than that; they probably monitor registry updates with robots.

I went to your website out of curiosity: "We're sorry, but we was not able yet to support Opera 9.23. Please use Firefox or Safari. We'll do out best to support your browser soon." It's not the place to bitch about the any browser principle

I'm not sure it's useful either. Why not just use a dedicated data structure (such as a radix tree dictionary)?

When you learn a natural language, you can speak with a native speaker even if you make a lot of mistakes; he'll still understand you (and maybe try to help you improve). Computer languages "feedback" (error messages, etc.) is poor. It's in

From a purely technical point of view, I agree that it's more secure. But from a psychological point of view, isn't this system somewhat similar to security through obscurity? That is, isn't it an incentive to not care about the rest (keepi

I'm working on a solution using the current day (modulo the population) as a kind of covert channel to keep track of the number of prisoners who already visited the room (the basic idea is that, if the light is on on day 64, at least 64 p

It can take less than 20 days if they have Michael Scofield with them. (I'm working on a solution; will post it here soon)
