I understand that. If you're making software for yourself, for a business, for deployment on a web server, or for fellow hackers, it's not an issue. However, if you want to make end-user software (games, for example), you don't want to requ

He doesn't always get them, maybe that's why? Maybe if the zombie spawner and water block were in an inner room with a door. He could simply close the door, which would dry up the room, and collect any stuck feathers. There could even be a

the1laz (the guy who made this) plans on making a keyboard and screen for IO. That's interesting, I assume that the keyboard will be made using pressure plates. I wonder how he'll manage the screen? The dynamics of Minecraft are incredible.

I remember Hot Bot used to have this feature. I switched to Google, though, once Hot Bot's front page stopped being the search page.

It's obvious how much the design of the iPad/iPhone OS has informed this. It's very 'app' centric, which is funny to me because the public's perception of what an 'app' is is pretty weird. You'd have a hard time describing what a program or

This is great. Does anyone have examples of simple machines that can be built with gears like this?

Does "a week without wifi" mean "a week without internet"? I hope people understand that you can also use a cable.

The article doesn't say anything about this: what do you do on Programmer's Day? Do you still go to work, but just maybe mention that it's Programmer's Day when talking to co-workers? Most novelty holidays are like this: on Wear a Hat day,

If you get a jeep made since 1995, it's definitely way more complex. Did you mean 1945? If not, were Jeeps made before 1995 comparatively simple?

I wonder why it's based on that rather than a more conventional painting program. The 'webby' and 'chrome' type brushes are kind of difficult to use and get the effect that you want.

Grade school nurtured my creativity. The only way I could get through the boredom of it was through sketching and daydreaming.

Wait, you can patent things that may be implemented in the future at some point? If so, the hard part is predicting things that will be invented in your lifetime, so that you can actually make money.

The difference is that with Chorewars, other people are holding you accountable for whether you completed a task or not. I think this is an excellent idea, but, as many are thinking, what's to stop me from cheating? Tasks assigned to onesel

Thanks! From the 'try lisphp' page, I assumed that echo was built in.

Has anyone tried running code with this yet? This results in errors: <?php require_once('Lisphp.php'); $env = Lisphp_Environment::full(); $program = new Lisphp_Program("(echo 1)"); $program->execute($env); ?>

Try learning one new vim command or feature every day, and forcing yourself to use it. If you find yourself not using it, instead doing something less efficient, undo the changes you've just made and re-do them in the newly learned way. For

I'm curious to know how much user testing goes into the design of the Gnome desktop environment (and KDE, for that matter). Designing a visually elegant interface is one thing, but that can mean nothing during actual user interaction.

The Gnome UI (gnome-panel, nautilus, etc) generally takes up a huge amount of screen space. I've found that I'm pretty happy with aewm and Thunar.

I've been using this to re-learn Trig, as well as learn Calculus and Linear Algebra. Very easy to follow, and the videos are usually only about ten minutes long.
