I actually work in a company that has a similar voting system. We print out a card, and we also burn the content of the vote in a rfid chip, that voters can check themselves. The rfid speeds up the counting, but you can always do the manual

I used workflowy for a long time and I think it's brilliant, but now I need to keep up with complex tasks, so I'm using tiddlywiki - that allows me to link between tasks, and make notes of relevant things to my tasks

Tell this to my mom. She doesn't even know how to send or read SMS, but she still wants to take pictures at my birthday. I think we still have one or two generations that need the point-and-shoot

I thought it was an Apple mistake. At least five of the people I follow on Twitter received this John Dillinger mail, and there's a person in the comments saying he/she received the same mail. (And all these persons have nothing to do with

>When I said plan for success I didn't mean PHP can't scale it was related to the lower argument that very few people under 25 uses PHP anymore. I wonder where you get your statistics. The three most popular languages I know people unde

I'd like to add: get a job, any job, and finish high school. It's always a good idea.

Someone lended me a tablet for a week. I didn't install a single application.... everything I needed was on the browser (Twitter / Facebook / Mail / Searching on Google)

I find curious the fact that he thinks that Physics and Calculus "have anything to do with Computer Science". Prerequisites are there for a reason.

It would be nice to see a link to a sample site in the homepage (the screenshot works... but I want to see it in action). I got the idea, but I want to see how the site could look like without having to create one.

Here in Argentina, the best colleges are the public ones. And they are free. I study at the National Technology University (UTN) (it's a public university that focuses on Engineering degrees), and we pay an optional fee of 20 pesos argentin

I'm a female developer. I'm not going for CS, but a Systems Engineering degree. I share classes with lots of women (well, in the best of situations, we're 1/3 of the total population of a classroom). Even knowing lots of women going for a S

I agree with teaching Tau first. Personally, it took me at least a week to begin to understand radians, and almost a month to understand it pretty well. Tau is more intuitive than Pi in this case.

I'm fluent in English, learning Esperanto (mother tongue: spanish). Took 3 years of Portuguese at high school. I'm learning sign language too (i'm not deaf), does that count as a natural language?

+1 to that. College is not to teach you "how to be successful" or "become a better coder". In this case, it's about giving you the tools to learn to think. (...I think this doesn't apply for med school, though)

Just finished reading The Loser by Thomas Bernhard. Cruel, repetitive, ironic... effing brilliant. It's about three pianists - one of them it's Glenn Gould, and how meeting him ruined the life of the other two. Currently reading High Fideli

All of my friends and coworkers use Google Talk. I don't even have MSN! (and I barely use Skype, since my desktop computer doesn't have webcam nor microphone). In the end, I use the videochat feature on GMail, because it actually works pret
