I think I know what you mean---but I'm not sure. If the exercise of the mind can be said to make you smarter, then surely chess is an excellent activity. Or is that not what you meant?

And the additional 22,000 dead don't count for anything?

Not a lawyer, but I'd say yes.

Too bad there is not an 'Anti' version of this award that could be sent to the appropriate offices of the State and National Offices Attorney General and the White House---all of whom have earned the negative recognition.

Another haxor wannabe (regardless of his age) using tech as an excuse to be rude. Kinda like programmers and their endless complaint about documentation :)

No need. Given the demographic targeted, the current text is sufficient (possibly overly wordy at that) and regards the question of how to move, they are used to interfaces far worse than this---they will figure it out. I suppose that you c

Regarding your comment of toxicity inside---when was this? Is this from personnel experience? Reason I ask is that 'toxic' is counter to my experience while working for them. Had a great time working with an equally great team. No pointy ha

Could be worse. Could be an artist and therefore free to starve to death in a garret any where in the world, so that your agent can become rich when you're dead. Or as others have said, pick your profession. To paraphrase C&W, "What's g

Were I the folks in charge at Boeing, I'd be looking at a joint venture with Mr. Musk, starting today. I suspect that the difference in estimates are owed to the usual testing phenomenon---you test for what you can imagine and that is heavi

Friend of mine who's opinion I respect made the switch from C++ to C# a couple of years ago. Says basically---all the fun much less of the pain. Since both he and I have been C++ hackers from the beginning (even got to use the macro package

I fear that the problem with this and other pseudo-metric sites is the same problem that essentially makes the rate of employment useless. Lack of universal accurate participation means those who don't care, or are otherwise under the radar

I'd far rather read about eBooks in a meta sense. Info on the mechanics of eBook creation; say from a LaTeX source or the like.

In the spirit of Twitter I would reply FOAD---If you don't recognize the acronym, think about it for a while it will come to you...

Real time zooming within the Mandelbrot set. Can't be done on anything less than a super computer---don't know how many nodes would be needed; the answer to that would be interesting in of itself. Different strokes etc., but that is most as

Looks real nice on my KPW. This would be my third. So maybe this time I can get all of the way through! :)

Sounds like the same old saw that the computer cognoscenti said about desktop computers. From my point of view, I don't give a damn about any of their quibbles---they are either no longer a problem or subject to on-going R&D. What I wan

8 Books---All by D. Knuth, The 4 on algorithms and the 4 on Typesetting. Not to forget the article on DDJ long ago that started it all for me.

While reading this I got to thinking about the nature of those whom 3D Printing appeals too. <end-of-awkward-sentence/> I've a friend with a 3D printer (sorry don't remember which) and he and I have talked about it quite a bit. So p

Showing my age, but I worked for years in a dark room with a green screen terminal. I've long since made a habit of setting my terminals (regardless of OS) to exactly the same bright green on black. I do prefer the font bolded though. When

Very nice article. The HTML version is free, the .pdf version which will be available after the 21st will cost you $10 a year---all things considered, a useful service at a very reasonable cost.

I use EditPlus and Alt Tab to a cmd window. Certainly not an IDE, but close enough for me. For C++ I either use CodeBlocks or VC10. Much of my class code is generated from document/specification by a Perl script. This works nicely for eithe

Insert Homer-esq 'Do' (or is it 'Duh'?) here. I saw that as a brief glimpse while wading through my Google Reader hits the other day (week?) I'll investigate post-haste. Thanks!

I was also fooled by the title :) In fact I was hoping for something a little different. What I wanted was something that intercepted my attachment(s) stored them in the cloud and then passed a link embedded in the email. That way I could s

I would have preferred the Model 28 Keypunch if only because it was my first one :)
