ANTLR is great, but I also highly recommend xtext: http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/ . It generates a full lexer/parser, AST representation, does automatic cross-referencing, and even generates an Eclipse plugin for your language with syntax h

It just wasn't very funny, creative, clever, or original. Every second comment on Reddit these days seems to be 'I love you so much', 'this', 'you win the internet', or 'sir, you are a scholar and a gentleman'. Many of us here are Reddit re

> Cheaper is good. ANT+ stick is $30, about the same as a 'duino. No idea about the price point of the sensor itself, but maybe $15? So you save $20, lose the wireless connection, and gain a painful earlobe. I'm not saying it's a useles

Note that there is a wireless standard for interfacing with biosensors called ANT+ (www.thisisant.com). You can get a USB stick for $30, and a heart-rate strap for $35-40. Most Sony Ericsson Android phones come with ANT+ integrated as well.

Well you can run a VM in much smaller footprints. I can run Java on at Atmega128 for example, with multiple threads, GC, etc. Sun had a reduced JVM running on 2K MSPs (no GC, single-thread). It just depends on how much of the functionality

I find it very unlikely the harassing went on for months before the victim had to talk to his bosses about what was going on. I'm pretty sure I'd have to explain myself pretty much the same day, if not minute, if co-workers started receivin

You're oversimplifying. 'Posting child porn' for example turns out to be 'posting a single picture of a pubescent girl having sex with two young boys'. Note that we have not seen the picture, so the girls' age can be anywhere between 10-17
