"Every Entrepreneur". Yeah right. What about when your making something people don't even know they want yet.

I still keep windows around for games. Have you used Wine recently? I'm not a serious gamer, but last time I checked, it ran everything I needed.

I'm really interested to know what age that PG started programming. Some of the best known hackers started late. I know Julian Assange didn't have a computer before he was 14 but when you have a Commodore 64 you have to program.

"To say unilaterally that it's better for all people at all times in all use cases is, at the very least, an overstatement." Yes. Just better for hackers who want to alter anything about the code they are working with. "While being free

You can retrieve the key if the computer is turned on by dumping the memory from a Firewire or Thunderbolt port. If these ports are disabled you could use the Cold Boot Attack. This is the same with all computers, it's just that Apple cont

Yes, especially with encryption. "Many eyes make bugs shallow". And of course someone has read the source, someone wrote it. But the number of eyes on the code would be more than closed source.

I wouldn't trust Apple on security. They are currently producing computers with ports that have direct access to the RAM. Also, you can root a mac with physical access in about 10 seconds. (On startup CTRL-S , mount the hd, delete find and

If I were trying to solve this problem for Primary/Secondary education, I wouldn't teach "computational thinking", I'd teach philosophy and give students programming tasks in an art class. Why? Philosophy gives you a feeling for syllogistic

I've never been to a city with more Hackerspaces than Berlin. There is just a lot of free space to go and meet people and collaborate. It's also very cheap.

"It has absolutely nothing to do with the limits of rational thought." One implication of GIT is that there are true sentences that cannot be proved. I'm sorry, but I can't manage to see how "It has absolutely nothing to do with the limits

by derrida 15y ago
If I'm not mistaken, one way of seeing GIT is just as a reductio ad absurdum on the idea that truth is just that which is proved. Perhaps you should consider that talking about ontology clouds the water here, this explanation might have som

Well, it is a different type of consumption. I notice you can buy the right to have an Ant-species named after you, and be acknowledged in a journal. If I had the dosh/partner, I could understand this. Name the ant species "<partner&#62

"Google blocks most searches routed by Tor exit nodes" - Really? I've never had a problem, but the last time I used Tor was a week ago. Has something changed?
446.
by derrida 15y ago
By blocking a Tor exit you do not block the Tor network, as new exits are created all the time. Also the person doing the abusive behaviour, can continue without restriction, but you then frustrate users in regimes that do not have free spe

according to Time-Out Berlin . Yeah, according to Wikipedia, I'm wrong. Never trust a travel guide. I've been to the Emirates and what they have there is entirely different to what they have in Germany. Australia, France and the Czech Repu

That is because they are Shwarma's and are completely different again. The kebab is a Berlin invention (according to TimeOut Berlin). Which makes sense, a marriage of the German sausage + bread culture with some dish from the middle east.

by derrida 15y ago
The kebabs are something else in Berlin. Much more like a Taco than those greasy things you see elsewhere in the world.
