Teleoperated robots? All this proves is how easy kids are to influence by a staged illusion. Pull the veil back to let them see the wizard (the person with the remote control/microphone) and we'd see far different results. What a waste of

It says "intellectual property" (read your own quotation). Data gathered from private entities is not (by definition) intellectual property.

Every switch uses shared throughput and load balancing. This is no different from a Ethernet gigabit switch unless your switch has a > gigabit Up-link. Think about it - how are 2 clients hard wired to a gigabit Ethernet switch going to

To those wondering about hardware differences - Just run your OS in VM. With modern processors you won't be able to tell the difference performance wise. Also, it's easy to make a backup of the image when you are wrapping up at work/home. T

Just in time for 4G to be everywhere in my area :/ Where were you 3 years ago? Now I would just be annoyed by this when I tried to zoom in on an image and got a pixellated mess.

There is no comparison to be made here between mathematics and programming languages as far as continually changing skill sets go. Mathematical concepts have had no new paradigms in my entire lifetime. Mathematics progression moves slower t

It seems the main complaint in this blog is with unpredictable "pauses". Here is a simple solution then. Let the GC run on a worker thread of a different core. That should eliminate these pauses right? Pauses are more likely to be caused by

Man has traditionally (going back 10 thousands of years) not had the type of interaction that you mention. Civilization brought man close together in this modern era. Tract housing, public transportation, ETC. History shows us that is more

"Lua OS - An operating system around LUA" I think that is a bit backwards. It is actually a LUA GUI around a C based Linux kernal. I would think that the performance of LUA is too poor at this time for this to be viable. I may try it when t

Next time my boss razzes me for not writing documentation about something, I am going to point him to this article :) Seriously though, the article does seem to belittle documentation. Documentation gives an API context, it is often invalua

Reminds me of the design and dynamic visualizations from IntelliPad (written for Microsoft's retired project 'Oslo') with several features from visual studio all incorporated into an elegant interface. Nice job. (Although better - this IDE

LOL, a bunch of hippies in the late 60s tried doing that for a while here in the USA. Failed miserably. it's nature folks - given a choice between them, you cannot make most boys prefer pink flowers and most girls prefer tractors and dirt.

No, not at all: source: https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html "...Roughly, the users have the freedom to run, copy, distribute, study, change and improve the software." What would this do to most startups today?

I was surprised to find such an article here. I thought that this site was all about promoting starups? If you think about it for a minute, Richard Stallman's point of view would eliminate most startups that ycombinator promotes (directly o

I thought about this for a minute, then I thought "who cares". If I go to someone's web site and they set my amazon recommendations to buy their merchandise that they are setting, couldn't they have just showed me the same thing on their si

Pagination provides structure which most humans prefer (myself included). I cannot stand endless scrolling with loading pauses every so often if I scroll too quickly. In Google searches, I have my results set at 50 results per page and when

If you are a computer geek, you don't NEED a degree if you are properly motivated, but good luck job hunting for a lot of careers (accountant, civil engineer, teacher, historian, psychologist, ETC). I personally think that technical schools

Your argument has no basis. If storage capabilities have a relative relationship to the success or failure of the entertainment industry, why is there no trend of correlation thus far? Storage media keeps improving, yet the entertainment in
