Yes, and I'm saying that that does not make him a pedophile. I see fathers kissing their young kids on the lips all the time, maybe it's a European thing? Unless he's using tongue I don't see a reason to call the cops.

So let me get this straight, the guy hacked into his neighbour's WiFi and used it to mess with their MySpace page, e-mail coworkers, post a picture of 'pubescent girl having sex with two young boys' (I'd have gone for tubgirl, but okay), an

Well the documentation is very scarce, not just in the Looper class itself, but also in places where you mysteriously need one (i.e. LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates). I really don't get the point of the Looper class anyway, as (bette

That's actually a great idea. Can you recommend one such tool? I'd like to run it on the Android framework source and see what else I've been missing.

Android docs are pretty terrible anyway. Have fun finding out what a 'Looper' is for or how it even works without using stack overflow. Then be amazed and horrified. And then there are gems like WiFiManager.getScanResults(), which according

I don't know shit about economics, so I can't say anything useful about that aspect of Bitcoin. I do know a little about distributed systems and p2p however. Disclaimer: Bitcoin is a bit of black magic so I'm not going to claim I know every

Bitcoin uses a distributed timestamping server. The paper literally states that "new transactions are broadcast to all nodes". This effectively means that they need a global broadcast to the majority of nodes for every bit coin transfer. Th

I was never arguing that. But if you wish, the sentence in the story is not just oversimplified, it's just ignorant and wrong. I would never tell my child such things.

Hah, I got it working yesterday but I had other stuff to do and I wanted to patch their code to work on both 168/328p and 1280/2560 before doing a proper write up. Can you test my patch and get back to me whether it works for you? That way

If anyone's interested, I got their firmware to run on stock Arduino hardware (which costs $55 instead of $390). http://romfont.com/2011/05/12/google%E2%80%99s-open-accessor... It's looking good so far. Now all I need is a device that sup

As a software engineer I object to that! At least software engineers would have thought their design through, instead this this whole thing looks thrown together by a bunch of amateurs over the weekend. I think it's more a testament of the

Actually they don't use ADB but rather implemented their own USB protocol, which is why it doesn't work on current devices. See also this rant here: http://romfont.com/2011/05/11/a-closer-look-at-googles-open-...

You can buy the reference design, or get an Arduino+USB host shield. You can get an Arduino anywhere, I'm not sure if their firmware will fit on a smaller AVR like the 328p. You can get the USB shield from Oleg's site directly (circuitsatho

This is a $100 mobile phone without the baseband, WiFi, Bluetooth, screen, casing, battery, sensors, buttons, microphone, and speaker. I guess $25 sounds about right.

Yeah, non-native speaker here, the system works a bit different in my language, hence the confusion. I spotted the mistake but couldn't edit my post. Luckily you can always count on the internet to point out your typos.

The Skype app on Android is really only barely functional, and what is more, the total lack of support or interest in fixing bugs from their side is almost comical. A couple of months ago I fixed a problem where the sound was coming out of
