A related, but quite different technology I worked with are so-called Dynamic Vision Sensors (DVS, [1]): This is a CCD that was developed to mimic a biological retina and only reports changes in brightness, asynchronously for every pixel.

Cool :) The other way around also exists: Iodine [1] does IP-over-DNS. Very useful for some commercial access points which usually don't filter DNS but redirect HTTP to a landing page. [1] http://code.kryo.se/iodine&#x2

Some guy on Reddit swore by playing a horror game (e.g. Amnesia: The dark descent) when he's feeling down. I tried it with mixed results, but it certainly is a powerful way of feeling something strong and different. Similarly for movie

Indeed. Some live telemetry data to put on your second screen would also be cool. NASA TV showed essentialy the same footage with a few more comments ( http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/index.html ).

You can treat anything as a point mass as long as you're far away enough ;) And even with point masses only, orbital mechanics can get quite complex. When you are close enough that a significant portion of the comet's mass is &quo

Indeed, KSP gives a good intuition about orbital mechanics and space travel. It makes you appreciate the skills of NASA/ESA/... engineers even more! Also, KSP now has 'real' asteroids! http://wiki.kerbalspacep

There's an end? Aw, man! I tought it was just big bunch of randomly chosen levels. How about a counter? Something like 'this is level 123 from 444'? Surprisingly awesome game tough!

Yeah. I'm watching the keynote right now, and Carmack talks quite extensively about the display problems they're facing and in no way indicates the use of multiple displays. Also, the demo video of Lanman and company mentions &#x2

For those of you wondering about the higher resolution: A reddit user made the suggestion¹ that they are using two displays on top of each other and some clever signal processing to (almost) double the spatial (and temporal!) resolution. Se

We did that in our second year and it was awesome. I don't know if it was the same binary but it was well made. The first password was very easy (just a constant string) and it got progressively harder from there. At the end we had to

Good point! Altough bad example with the CPU: I do want a 20 GHz one and so do a lot of others. But I can see if it works as advertised very quickly whereas you cannot really absolutely with ultimate certainty prove that this bracelet doesn

How much of our skills are learned and how much is genetic ability is an old debate ("nature vs. nurture"). I come down quite hevily on the learning side: You can remove half the brain of a person and if you do it slowly or early
