   This is almost certainly the military equivalent of an urban legend, but I remember hearing a story once about an A-10 that ate an anti-aircraft missile. The missile entered the engine nacelle. I don't know whether the missile detonate

   This is one of the fundamental ideas behind deliberate practice. You need to work right at the edge of your experience level. If you continue to work well inside your comfort level, you won't push your expertise out into new areas. If

   I use a password generator " http://passhash.connorhd.co.uk/" that generates random 12 character passwords with uppercase, lowercase and digits. If you can design software that can guess those passwords, you should

   I am encouraged by the fact that Google is working in this area. If any company can overcome the obstacles to this technology becoming available soon and at a reasonable price, it would probably be Google. I am discouraged by the fact that

   I think that one of the fundamental problems with the current patent system is that NPEs are able to use shell companies to shield themselves from the financial consequences of their bad acts. I hope one of the "finer points of patent

   I've been using PassHash " http://passhash.connorhd.co.uk/" for a while now and I really like it. If I understand your application correctly, PassHash does essentially the same thing as NullPass. I run PassHas

   You might try looking at iPython Notebook " http://ipython.org/notebook.html" . I haven't actually used it (I prefer org-mode) but according to the web site "you can combine code execution, text, mathemati

    I don't know whether this would qualify for your class, but the Racket documentation includes an implementation of Algol-60 " http://docs.racket-lang.org/algol60/" . You might be able to use this as the st

    I used to use Readability to deal with problematic web sites, but I switched to Clearly after encountering a number of web sites that Readability had problems with (not rendering all the content). I didn't know about Readability's

    Something similar can be done using a Raspberry Pi instead of an AWS instance. Just go to your favorite search engine and search for "raspberry pi bittorrent sync". This way you can save that $175/year for an AWS micro instan

    There's a post by Robin Hanson (" http://hanson.gmu.edu/econofsf.html" ) that discusses this issue with more references on the topic (including the Krugman article).

    I have been re-reading some of my favorite Iain M. Banks novels. It breaks my heart that there will not be any more Culture novels.

    One of the most important reasons I have a cell phone is so that my wife can reach me in an emergency. Disabling that functionality makes this a non-starter for me, even though I hate the idea of my every movement being tracked.

    I would recommend against using PHP as the language to teach to beginners. I would choose either Python or Ruby. Javascript would also be a possibility, although beginners might find Python or Ruby easier to learn.

    I'm trying to learn Lojban, because I think it might make a good general interlanguage between people and computers. I've also heard interesting things about Sanskrit, for the same purpose.

    I think the fundamental question is whether you have the self discipline to do the work by yourself. If you are highly self disciplined, and a self starter, then there are a lot of good quality, free options, like Coursera, Udacity, MIT&#x2

    Pascal is not exotic. It's one of the foundation languages that's been around for decades. If you want to learn top-down, structured programming, Pascal is easy to learn and a perfect language for small, quick one-person projects.

    That was then; this is now. I would be very surprised, almost astonished, if they let the OP continue to use the domain, even if he argued that it didn't infringe. I looked up Instagram in an online dictionary. The word was created by

    It's driven partly by the economics of publishing technical books. Technical books are often more expensive to develop; there may be more authors, technical editors, illustrators, etc. working on a technical book. A book may have only

    What you need to do is determine how much time a script or tool will save you, how often you perform the function the script or tool will help you with, how long it will take you to develop the script or tool, and how long you are willing t

    I would think one would be better off learning how to use one of the Spaced Repetition applications like Anki, Supermemo, etc. Then you could learn editor shortcuts, programming language syntax and semantics, tool and application commands,
