We have a NXT which we were able to programme in LUA. It had a very nice library and worked well, much easier than the visual block programming Edit: http://hempeldesigngroup.com/lego/pblua/nxtfunctiondefs/

Yes, we're a bit short on choice here, aren't we? I'm using eWay http://www.eway.com.au/ who have been fantastic to work with but require you have a merchant bank account. Seen pin.net.au before and it looks good

PayPal are bastards. I cancelled my account with them a few years ago and they've since refused to process any payment using my cc. This has caused me much frustration over time and I'm not alone Not sure if people who use PayPay for credit

Edit: yeah, it's a cheap shot, but my point is "correctness" is not binary http://au.news.yahoo.com/technology/news/article/-/15610781/... Now police in Colac, west of Melbourne, say faults with Google maps are putting people's lives at

I find GoodReader excellent for pdfs on the iPad. It's not only a great reader but also allows annotation etc plus makes getting pdfs into and out of your iPad fairly painless

I remember going to an MS Dev event for 64 bit XP (still have the shirt!) and being pretty excited about it, but bugger all worked in XP64. As someone who spent many (10+) years writing for Windows and now uses a Mac it's hard not to compar

Yes, I believe Interbase might fit this description Borland open-sourced Interbase in 2000, but then bought it back in-house. The OS code was forked and became Firebird (aside - Firefox was originally called Firebird, but changed names afte

It's a shame really, as OpenFeint was developed initially for Aurora Feint†, a very nice iPhone puzzle game and one of the very first iPhone games. It was free, and it seems OpenFeint was an effort to make money for the devs † http://www.a

less like "thrown out the window" and more like "nudged slightly" The iPhone 5 lengthens the screen by 176 pixels in 1 direction, leaving an old style layout with 88 pixels of banding (a bit over 6mm) on each edge. For Apple to run with a s

fwiw Infinity Blade II and Asphalt 7 both run silky smooth on the iPad Mini. My wife bought one because it fits in her handbag and I've since discovered it makes an awesome gamining machine :) Haven't used a Nexus 7 but it should be similar

Apple's hands are tied by decisions made long ago re display layout. Because elements are positioned absolutely and not via a layout manager, they can't go with an intemdiate resolution - they're tied to either 1024x768 or 2x that.

all this is true if we add "for XCode based development" as a qualifier to "Definitely NOT Apple" I use an ageing (4yo) 13" macbook as my primary development machine and it works fine. I'm no where near geeky (or whatever term you use) to b

yes, that's one of the things people forget about battery power - it decouples the generation of the energy from the storage. This means that you can switch from burning coal to solar, hydro or wind as an energy source with no changes at al

this is where your US infinite detention becomes interesting. Both Obama and Romney support the infinite detention of American citizens without trial, but most people aren't worried as it's "only for the bad guys" What happens when you get

yes, "only computer" is incredibly dependent on what your needs are, and there's a very diverse range of those. My inlaws have been using an iPad as their only computer for about 4 months now and doing fabulously (they love it), but for mys
