You can always continue with !isActive && ($parent.toggleClass('open') || do_something_else()) but this is write-only code. This actually reminds me of some cool hacks with structure pointers and functions in the Linux kernel

They hired extremely expensive top management instead.

It looks better than Celestia[1], but it will need a lot of time to reach the same complexity and data[2]. [1] http://www.shatters.net/celestia/ [2] http://celestiamotherlode.net/

If you watch the 2:1 display through an anamorphic lens you can see it stretched as it's a 4:3 one. Food for thought: can you create a Fresnel anamorphic lens?

I used a TN display in vertical position for a while and it sucked. If you moved the head just a little sideways the colors completely changed, and after a couple of hours I started to feel nausea. My doctor told me it was because the eyes

Apple adding a SD card would mean shooting themselves in the foot - no reason to sell overpriced Flash inside the device anymore.

The Pentium architecture pops up from time to time (after the Netburst architecture Intel rolled back closer to the original Pentium architecture, and now Larrabee/MIC uses the same Pentium cores). At that time it was efficient because the

I don't think there are specific written rules for many countries. One hyperactive Romanian border officer requested me (in a threatening tone) to remove all the "large electronic equipment" from my backpack - even my SLR camera and all the

That lens was never created for color photography. The warm tones probably have advantages on the B/W film.

It's the price. And the nerdery. Old cheap toys that are still useful today bring up memories. Especially when you have to hack them.

And what happens after 10 minutes of flying, when the batteries will be drained? Charging the battery takes at least as long as the flying time.

You have to sudo for that.

Why would you do that? To use precious SD storage to install yet another x86 OS to painfully slowly (10-20MB/s and huge latency) boot up another computer, that in 99.99% of the cases already has an OS. And I don't think they implemented a s

As an "antisocial" (never had a Facebook/[other social network] account and never will) I see this as expected behaviour. They need you inside to access your data. They need you to interact more with them to gather more data. If you see you

If you take a look at an Internet penetration map[1] you will see that most of the cables around Africa have only a few big "customers": Morocco, Egypt, Nigeria and South Africa. If you compare that map with a GDP map you will also see why:

Given the cost of such an operation, I don't think you can get some profit even if they were made of gold. As time passes, most of the cable is buried deeper and deeper under debris that falls on the ocean floor. This means that you cannot

I started playing with Arduino just a few weeks ago. I have many other kits/demo boards, mostly for PIC and ARM UCs, and while it's not that powerful, Arduino is the best for fast and simple solutions. It's nice to have the power of an ARM

I can touch-type "the right way" when I write text, but I cannot do it while programming. The link is broken when I have to use a lot of punctuation, parentheses and other strange signs the language of choice needs, as most of them should b

No, there is no link between ACTA and the resignation. The resignation is a political move trying to calm down the Romanian revolts started in January.

We had programming classes in high school in Romania, teaching Pascal or C. They don't really work. Some students don't understand programming. Others don't care. Only 20% of a class can actually program very simple programs by themselves.

You can also find this kind of services in Romania for specific high-bureaucracy activities, like obtaining permits to build a house. If you want a driver's license, you cannot even find some of the needed forms online, but there is always

I tried it for WebLogic monitoring. It looks good and has nice features (like transactional support), but we could not trust it for the PROD environments. It requires a java agent to be installed on the JVM, and we were not prepared to rete

You don't have to know only the tools to use, but to know how to use them. Looking only at histograms only tells you what fills the memory, not how it does it. Exploring the object tree in the heap dump and thread dumps are way more useful.

A new competitor on the social networking market will compete for almost the same users that already have a Facebook account. It's very hard to find features that will attract people from the "not bothering" group.
