Well, I think is not such a bad idea to require students to use their laptops at courses. If one wants to learn one will use his laptop in this sense, for a serious student using a laptop can boost his performance. If one is not interested

I think it will be interesting to see how this dispute will end. In any case the user will loose, take Amazon for example, I see two possibilities: 1. Amazon will leave App Store. We loose because we can not use our iPads and iPhones to acc

Thanks! Is funny that I'm not the person that has posted the link, I've just read the article and I've found it makes a point :).

This will encourage more students to put their ideas in practice.

I can connect my Kindle to any Mac, Windows or Linux computer using a USB cable, the OS sees the Kindle as an external drive ... You can transfer as many documents as you want to your Kindle this way (actually as many as your Kindle can sto

People fear of losing control of their data, as simple as that. On your own computer you will fear only of a hardware failure or a nasty virus. On the cloud ... well you are at the mercy of a provider, of a Government or of any organization

I'm from Canada too and I simply think they are trying to take another buck from people's pocket. Unfortunately for some of us with or without the regulation the situation is already "regulated", personally I pay about 65$ a month for 100GB

Can you use the OpenGL bindings from Processing in your application ? This would be an interesting application for doing some OpenGL graphics on JVM. I didn't used Clojure, how difficult will be for a Scheme/Common Lisp guy to start hacking

Nice post, I've used Maxima for symbolic calculations since 2000 and I can say it was a great help during my student life :). Since Maxima is based on Common Lisp, I think it will be an interesting application to translate directly, using a

I don't think so, better check on NVIDIA forums to be sure ...

Nice approach, I've always believed a coder should be able to code an application from scratch. I wonder if on a long term your workflow is not too time consuming. We use Xcode to avoid writing each time the necessary boilerplate code that

I think you could use Python for CUDA programming (I didn't tried that), see PyCUDA at: http://mathema.tician.de/software/pycuda even Matlab has some bindings for CUDA: http://developer.nvidia.com/object/matlab_cuda.html Bare in mind ho

If you want to program for general GPU devices, you could search for OpenCL (my first comment is valid only for NVIDIA GPU's). However you should bare in mind that coding for OpenCL is, at least now, an order of magnitude more complicated (

If you use Mac or Windows search iTunes for CUDA programming, or search Google for "Programming Massiveley Parallel Processors with CUDA" you should find videos and slides for this Stanford course. A good book about CUDA is:"CUDA by Example

I've used, mainly for development purposes, all major operating system of today (Windows, Linux and Mac). I have to say that any of them can be used for doing your work. You can have a Unix like environment on Windows or on Apple, and you c

Well, today you could be screwed on any device that can be used to make payments. This does not mean people will stop using a computer (or a smartphone) to pay for stuff. You can't stop technical progress by being paranoid. Eventually all u

Create a club in which you will propose interesting topics like: "Learning Python", "Lisp as a better programming language", "CUDA programming", you name it ... propose what you like more and it is not covered by your CS curriculum.

Same situation here in Canada, you pay for a book and wait 1-2 weeks before the postman will drop it at your door :). Having a Kindle has changed everything, what I like most is that I can use my Kindle everywhere ... especially in metro an

Well, I suppose on any OS you can find a similar application with Mac's iCal which will send you as many notifications as you want, at the hour you want, without the danger of spam emails. On Windows there is MonoCalendar and I'm sure on Li

For small tasks is a great tool for rapid text processing ... but I still prefer Python for complex text processing. Not so sure how popular is AWK in the non-Linux/Unix world.

If you buy your iPhone directly from Apple it cames with no plan (you need to find yourself a telephony provider) and you can use the iPhone with your home Wifi. I suppose you want one for programming and you don't plan to use it as a real

A nice replacement for the Mail program is Thunderbird, if you use this you can move your emails on any modern OS by just copying a folder. VLC for movies and dvd's.

I've used Vim successfully on Windows/Mac/Linux and you can customized it as you wish. Interesting post so 1+. As a side note the font used for the article does not render well on my Chrome browser. What are you using ? :)

You can't use the new features of Objective-C 2 in GNUstep, at least not with the default Windows installation. I didn't tried on Linux.
