I wonder if you could make a similar case for hacking - switch tools every few years to recapture some magic earlier perspective on your work? Or just to avoid a rut? Is sounding too polished the equivalent of thinking everything's a nail?

Sure, I use a 3-cup Chemex daily. It's great - the brew is consistently high-quality, and it's so easy to clean. You just toss out the filter and rinse the carafe clean, done in 4 seconds. The Chemex filters tend to mellow the taste (not th

This was a funny comic. I'm curious if anyone here has had their work watered down by media coverage - any good stories? I bet the security folks ought to have some experience here...

Very good point. Finding the second breakdown seems harder. At any rate, it's still the wrong game to play for the OP.

This AP article [1] (tech.yahoo.com seems to be having problems just now) says that the overall market fell by either 7.1% or 6.5% worldwide, depending on if you ask IDC or Gartner. US shipments were either down 3.1% (IDC) or <1% (Gartn

More than a (month of) life offline, this sounds like a life just off. If pressure and constant stimulation has you down, how exactly is ignoring your friends and the outside world going to help, I wonder?

"media companies make a huge chunk of their income from buyers who lost their original copies and are forced to buy new ones." That's new to me - is there a reference somewhere for how big a chunk this is?

I loved some of these - that Cray "Bubbles" picture is classic, and even though I never saw a ZX Spectrum, the color scheme is awesome 80's. Some are a miss, though - the CPC 464? If I were making a list, I'd add the Connection Machine CM-2

Some great advice. If you treat college as another means to an end, you might become exactly what you wanted to be when you were 17. Interesting people I know all agree that their 17-year-old self couldn't know what their 25 or 30 year-old

No. My experience in a PhD program made me more employable. Last year, when looking for a job, I got interest and offers from industry positions as a direct result of the skills I learned while pursuing a PhD (in Computer Science). As kurt

Hopefully I know enough about a co-worker's skills to form a good opinion of them before I find out what college they went to. If you bring it up in our first conversation, I'm going to wonder why. On the other hand, if you went to grad sch

On reading the title, I expected this to be about persistent multiplexed sessions in the window server. Adding window-dressing to gnu screen is a strange idea - does the target audience for screen really want this?

I tried it the other day on my macbook pro (2.5Ghz), and it skipped several video frames every minute or so. The audio was fine, but the skipping was jarring and unwatchable. The previous player ran very well on a five year old Dell laptop.

This is a really interesting idea. A way of signaling quality of publications that is more useful than 'it made it through the committee at some conference/journal/etc' would be a major improvement for researchers. The graph analysis is eve
