A rope stores a long string as a collection (binary tree) of shorter strings. Strings are stored contiguously in memory, so mutation (insertion, deletion, catenation, etc) often involves much copying of data, which could be problematic with

You could use NFC to exchange data. You could, for example, perform a hip bump to add somebody to your Tweetface circle; or grind on somebody to trade phone numbers; or leave a tip by rubbing somebody's pants pocket... all without directly

I like how the Lightning jack has its contacts exposed, making it prone to shorts and other mishaps. The name is appropriate! (with most other connectors, the powered side is recessed or the contacts are protected somehow)

Nifty trick, but some services kill ssh on port 443, and I guess they do so by limiting connection lifetime. In these cases, I find GNU httptunnel very useful.

The Fay compiler is written in Haskell, so you will need the Haskell platform installed (or at least Cabal). I don't know if it is a Fay-compatible subset of Haskell, but I would not bet on it :)
