   I'm old enough, and ugly enough, to remember the games built by teenagers of the 80's. Ultimate Play The Game (Rare) - Stamper Brothers in Ashby, Codemasters by the Darling brothers. I hope rpi takes off, it'll be interesting to see what

   How funny. I came here to post about the Guru Meditation error. Those were the days!

   Good advice. A friend of mine dropped out of his Computer Science course but still went for a job at a games company Rare. He sent them his code for a rotating 3D light sourced car written in GW Basic, and got the job!

   My wife worked in the city for one of the big banks. A chap who worked there was in a similar situation. He missed the train that had the bombers on board, but he decided to grab a bus to work instead. This also had one of the bombers up

   I heard a while back they use your computer as a connection point to other Skype users. That's why I chosen not to use it over my 3g connection. Probably not true, but would make sense in this case to make it difficult to quit!

   I clicked a few pages and thought it was great. I did wonder if you decided to supply starter templates. So I could start with Futurama's Bender and just increase the size of his head - however, I suppose copyright would come into play.

    Yep, same for me. I've just setup a Linode server today in their London DC.

    Your app looks great. Nice and simple interface, multi-play and fast paced action. Good job!

    Great link I found it very readable, hope the guy does more. I intend to buy the book he recommends at the bottom as well.

    I watched it live. Once the controller was confirmed I immediately thought about a feature Microsoft did in Vista called SideShow. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_SideShow

    Your comment made me think of the film "The Thirteenth Floor" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0139809/

    You remind me of the early 2000 Business Link companies. You rang up looking for advice, thinking it's a government initiative, but spend 70% of the time getting a hard sell for their web development sideline.

    I graduated in '99 with a 2.1 CompSci degree - the year a Chinese chap threw himself off the top of an 10-storey engineering building because he couldn't go back with a 2.1 degree.

    Do any of the principles of ML be applied to KPI / balanced scorecard applications? I have done some work with calculating simple linear regression but would like to move towards decision tree learning. Is this a good idea? or is there so

    All you need to know is right here on this DVD http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0256408/ It's called Startup.com and shows the massive initial growth of Govworks web-site (300+ staff), but then things go South and their competitors catch them

    Ditto from me. I just got fed up with top x lists which seem to dominate the front page. I'm much happier on HN. I can't believe how fast these guys fell over such a short period of time. It's like they started asking people to pay mone

    I own RECTOID.COM, a colleague was trying to describe a shape and he came out with that. After a giggle I checked whois and was surprised it hadn't gone. So I ordered it and done nothing with it. It has a certain goatse tone about it.

    I think I might be part of the problem. I came to HN accidentally while searching Google for video post-production tips. I normally get my social news fix on digg.com and have used them for the last 5-6 years, slashdot and ntk before it,

    We stayed at apartment block 333 River Street which was right on the Hudson, next to the 'W'. Luckily for us the company paid for it as the rent for a massive two bedroom apartment was about $3000 a month (2008) However, Hoboken is a big p

    I think that's an interesting point. However, I do have to consider running sensitive performance data running on equipment we don't control or host. So, is it wise to run customers data on kit we don't own or host?
