Yes, this is the case. External screen support was added a few years ago.

I believe you alright. It is fairly obvious the Tesla automobile is a Trojan Horse for much bigger strategy. Even if it originally wasn't planned that way, it most obviously can be, so why not? The strategy you describe sounds very rea

Sounds exactly like the effect of omniscient surveillance on the human species described in Childhood's End.

Thank you! Maybe I should mention that it is CC-BY-SA licensed, so the project can use it for free if they like. But I am pretty sure the current logo serves the project just fine, and changing it is understandably a low priority for a non-

I've always puked at how bad GNU logos are (far worse than most other bad open source software logos even), but I think I kind of have a strange soft spot for them now - they are extremely Stallmanesque in their qualities. Interesting

Ahh the good old days. Lot of great times building and deploying new anime and game fan sites every other day, with text file FAQs, MIDI music, and plenty of Metool under construction GIFs. The Web truly sucks for kids today.

Perl was the first scripting language I really learned when I was an intern at Sun. I read the whole Camel Book my first couple weeks there. I had an awesome sysadmin mentor that was a Perl guru, and when I asked for help he would give me m

I have progressively disabled Java, Flash, and now Javascript from my web experience. It is only a short while longer before I move towards the full rms style method of browsing the web.

I have been waiting 4 years to switch to Sonic Fusion, but I am too far from the CO. I wish there was some way to take local action to help them expand to my area. I know many people would be interested.

Trying to get a 0.0 GPA in a quarter/semester/year really is a worthy challenge. Much more difficult than you would think. I tried 3 separate times - closest I could get (without dropping from classes) was a 1.0. I believe being s

Harold and the Purple Crayon is the first book I ever read in my life. Now I draw, paint, and program - and when I do these activities, it is all literally an attempt to harness the power Harold showed me as a child.

This sounds like an AMAZING idea for a Security book.

I wrote my own simple set of shell and ruby scripts (based around xcodebuild) that have helped me automate deployment back since the iOS 3 or 4 days. With some upgrades, they still work perfectly well with iOS 7. I remember trying TestFligh

I have very fond memories of Widget Workshop as a kid. Glad to see it mentioned!

Seems like the author never actually used HyperCard, and is just another trend watcher.

I recommend Fast Sketching Techniques by David Rankin. Of course, nothing beats practice and the book will help you focus your practice in a very rewarding way. I have been drawing my whole life, and still always keep an open notebook and p

Thanks for writing this up and all your work in the area! I was struggling with getting FreeBSD running on a cloud server last year when I came across your original EC2 defenestration post. I ended up using Rackspace once they added FreeBSD

Good work, look forward to improvements. Reminds me of playing Number Munchers as a kid.

Finally hit a score of 10 and got a medal. The strategy I came up with is mentally computing all solutions as DOWN or NOT DOWN at each pipe using heuristics. Makes it easier to focus on flapping. I think the difficulty is just fine as it is

I sometimes picture the Universe as being some kind of a recursive knowledge generation simulation eating memory as it learns, with (Known Universe <-> Subatomic Particles) being the current limitations. The One Electron[0] acts as th

Finally, a fighting game that doesn't suck using a keyboard. Would be great if there was a way to crossup and knockdown.

That begins to sound like a very realistic Death Note ability these days given the combination of extreme punishment and brain dead detective ability.

These campaigns need to be more creative and fun . The majority of youth today (a demographic with the most free time and incentive to participate) do not like making calls or writing emails. Also, the emotion created by most of these camp

It is a positive day for the freedom of information and I am happy to support it, make the calls and emails, and tell friends about it. I also think framing it as a one day campaign where the “fighting” involves passive action at the indivi

Just curious, what "flavor" is Facebook blue (#3B5998) kool-aid? I always imagined it to be like a Blue Razz Blow Pop.

That is a terrible analogy. The modern telephone is the computer, and Facebook, if being forced to stick with the telephone analogy, is some kind of phone book / telemarketer / wiretap agency hybrid. The fact that computers are to

The theme and mood remind me somewhat of Childhood's End by Arthur C. Clarke - one of my favorite books.
