The problem is that history is literally full of such individuals having great success. They have the idea, they don't have the skills - so they get others to do the work necessary, and profit. This is a reality in the world today, all the

Because the guys in this story are actually scientists, doing the discovery and research, as well as engineers .. and it is 'implied' that scientists can do engineering also, so I guess its Venn diagram time .. ?

Well, think of the most efficient collector of water (and sunshine) you can. Water bottles have to look like that, or at least .. have a spigot you can attach a bottle to ..

Assange is a CIA high value target. He qualifies 100%. Swedens defenses against CIA/NSA operatives, actively operating in their country, are likely to be more penetrable than those of the UK, or at least more malleable to the CIA's needs

Yes, I think its something like "do not want to rot in American Gulag, do want to continue exposing crimes of the Imperial Criminal Gang.."

Not suitable - for military purposes. DEODU is a military organization, and any conclusions it makes must be viewed in that light. Mine-clearing is a war tool as much as it is a peace tool.

Surprise, surprise .. 'authorities' are 'doing it better'. Well, this tech is not for the authorities. Its for children to use to help clear the danger away from their villages. Its a tech that anyone can apply, not just those with access

So are you going to change that about yourself, or are you going to prolong it in your particular corner of the universe? Humans are equally borne into the world weak and helpless, with but a day of survival unless they gain help from other

Your position is disturbing because it allows for one human being to degrade another quite freely without guilt. That is morally heinous.

I believe your position is derived from one with an almost heinous lack of empathy. Human beings are all equal. Each life is worth just as much as another. This is a fundamental fact of life. Not a single one of us was created in any w

Elite was such a popular game that its still being implemented on the old 8-bit systems by dedicated fans, just for the love of doing it (and also for the love of old hardware): http://1337.defence-force.org/

Zero-before use is standard practice, anyway, at least in safety-critical/crypto/life- systems development. Why leave something like that to compiler semantics? If the block of memory you think is safe turns out in fact to be a back-door,

IMHO, this was one of the lost magical things about tapes .. you could just endlessly add lots of them as you needed them, seamlessly even in those days. I recall loading rather large stuff, tape at a time, as an old-school operator in-tra

The best thing about this is that it doesn't require me to download and install 1.8 gigabytes of life-sucking Mathematica demo-version just to get a graph that I can draw on a napkin in 4 or 5 seconds ..

For one thing, it'll make it a lot more feasible to build the linux kernel on the raspberry pi itself. Its already possible, but with the extra RAM, those of us who want to do such things are going to be happy with the doubling of the dist

Good point. Well what I think, in the very first marketing round about laptops in the 80's, the big pitch was portability, and that mean: flights. Most "portable computers" in that era were for flying around the country, they had to be bu

This is a really cute story for me personally, as an old-time Grid user. In my youth, I was a computer-ops tech, of the travelling variety. I was lucky enough to be given a Grid compass machine to do my job in the 80's. It was a godsend a
