So at least on day one of using the VPN connection - when you download the client and set everything up - you need to trust your connection.

It is a typical idea of this time to think, that playing around and emphazising on creativity is the right way to teach children. But beside creativity, there are also other important things to learn for children. For example using a method

In my opinion, if you don't remember something yourself and then ignore something telling you about it can be called on purpose. But maybe it just means, this is not the right service for you.

I seriously think the idea of charity is flawed. There are so many things wrong with it, that it's really hard for me to put that into a comment. Another point, quite important and often forgotten, is that people actually think, if they put

Are there really still people left, who are naive enough to think that charity really is for a good cause? It is basically just another business for rich people/comapanies to move money around. If it would work the way you think it does, wh

I am seriously happy that this kind of move is impossible in Germany. I think many people would be so glad to save some dollars, ignoring the risk to their life and more importantly for me, to my life, too.

How these Techcrunch guys now all are ranting about Yahoo. I really wonder how bad it really is and how much this whole thing is just subjective ranting. I mean something feels really strange about it. Has AOL some trouble with Yahoo?

Writing code is also very important and should be taught in CS school. As stupid as it sounds, but the best way might be in the middle. Giving tasks to create code and also giving task to reuse and change code. That is how our teachers try

It is clear why only the best stay there. Everybody wants to have a feeling of accomplishment and success. And clearly with a "higher" countries education you are the elite of your own country, but in that country you might need some very e

The difference, as I see it, is just that these people in the video really fight for their right. The cook will let his fists talk, if they don't pay. That dvd guy will never buy this dvd and so on. In the IT world there is the problem that

@your Djangy thing: I am a Django user and would love to have a Heroku for Django. But making it for free makes no sense. Make it ridiculously cheap if you like to, but to pay nothing for something that actually really produces simple to ca

I nearly don't understand anything of this. It sounds cool, though.There is so much math and lisp... But I want to learn and if possible even help. What do I have to learn to understand this and maybe implement it in my own languages?

edit: decided to delete all that tl;dr stuff My point is this: Hackers are still great hackers, if they call themself differently. And then they would spend considerably more time solving "hard" problems "playful" instead of discussing ab

You say you are a startup guy and then you just sit and wait? Entrepreneurs are the guys who go out to find problems to solve and then solve them. So you say you did nothing and got nothing in return. That is one side of beeing an entrepren

Why do these people always try to convince the world, that their chosen word has another meaning then everybody knows. Seriously, is that just too hard or asks for too much playfulness? Btw to describe a person in German, who is breaking co

Here are already a lot of tips about the local/tactical situation dealing with maybe beeing acquired. But what if it falls through (like it happens way too often)? Was it just this? Can we use this situation to get an advantage, if we get a

Looks more like an advertisment from an unrealiable source. The problem here is, that all presented data might be right, but you can not trust the conclusions and don't know if there is other data that has valuable information, which you do

I understand your point and how this macro works. My point is, that you still have to think in this (+ 1 2 3) way to be able to write meaningful, recursive, 'code is data' like functions. If u think (func_name param_1 param_2 param_3) you w

I am not a big fan of lisp, but u can not really change the lisp syntax and have lisp anymore. (+ 1 2) has more features included then '1+2', because u can for example add 3 numbers easily like (+ 1 2 3) and you can treat all that as a lis

Is it a great find? In many cases you can't really believe what you find on the cover of a world known news paper, written by an author every body can connect to a face. That's why you have to add other sources in science papers and serious

I am certainly not in the group of people, who believe revealing the stolen twitter data is good. But articles like this one make it really hard for me, not to argue out of the techcrunch perspective. I've read the comments there, too. And

This tool feels great. And the simple interface to start a game is a breakthrough in my eyes. I like and will use it.

I like the idea of this page and just started a blog there. Will I be more active as in my last tries to blogging? Only time can tell. But I don't really believe it. When I look at other blogs on this page, I see the mostly copied stuff fro

Thanks a lot for that link and the idea. It looks very easy to implement a tower defense game with this framework. That's a good idea for teaching, I think. The real problem with noob coders is that most easy problems are not very interesti
