Steak is my favorite vegetarian dish. What do you mean 'vegetarian' doesn't mean what I think it means?

When I first decided to download a bible app, this one was the first I tried, based on its name, rating, and popularity. I eventually replaced it though with QuickBible, which as its name implies, I found to open much faster and pulls up ve

If you used Anaglyph glasses to block red and blue, then you could make your tetris game where falling blocks were red and the landed blocks were blue to achieve the effect they talked about. It'd take some tweaking to get it perfect.

It's up to the teacher really. I had a professor who accused an entire class of plagiarism for a small assignment because they all used similar logic. The thing was, it was a low-level class and the solution was less than 50 lines of

I read statements like this and imagine large companies playing a game like Pokemon or Magic: The Gathering, but instead of monsters they have patents. "I choose you Patent of Phone which uses Glass!" "I'm going to count

You may good sir! Fooled several friends with my use of the subdomain. Even after I told them I wrote it, "how'd you get an article on cnn?"

The cynical answer would be to stroke his ego. The other possibility would be that he wants to improve the quality of his comments and/or be a more valuable contributor to this community.

I never thought the movie "Idiocracy" would be on-topic here, but for those who haven't seen it, it makes a similar argument. It starts off by saying smart people have less children than dumb people, and extrapolated for long enough, every

I'd like an iGoogle replacement. That's probably a lot to ask, but if it could do three columns of widgets that display RSS feeds of my choice, that'd be a good start.

We'll create a virtual reality to live in. Probably will simulate the 21st century. The machines will feed us intravenously and will be powered by the energy we put off. Now the question you have to ask yourself is, how do you know this h

I keep talking myself out of exactly that, because I still have iGoogle lol. Not exactly forward thinking. If you do end up coding one, let me know!

This reminds me of the 5 years-with-the-company speech I gave in front of a large audience in a meeting that I thought had been going too long. Before the speech, I calculated how many 15-second intervals I had been with the company (appr

Orwellian was the same word I was thinking as I read this. It's too bad the bill's code number isn't H.R. 1984 - it'd be a lot more appropriate.

I have a question for my fellow HNers. Is SOPA a big enough deal for you that if Obama actually signs SOPA into law and the Republican nominee is someone who voices opposition to it, you'll vote Republican (for those who typically vote Dem

Make customers love them. Lower the price eventually. People I know who pirate games say they will only pirate the ones that aren't "worth buying". When a company makes something impressive enough, they like to reward that company with th

This morning I woke up with an idea to find out what the different presidential hopefuls have said about SOPA. Sadly, this one was the only one I could find...the only one I thought I could guess his stance on.
