Disappointingly, the petition has only gained 4,500ish signatures since the last time it was on HN. Maybe this article will help..

"That alien message" was pretty much spot on. I started with that, but will certainly be reading the others. Thanks for linking!

Same here - nearly fell of my chair from the perceived height vertigo. Nonetheless, amazing footage - a head for heights and/or nerves of steel!

A whole bunch of interesting stuff in there. Undoubtedly I shall spend most of my forthcoming holiday reading up on papers and other works as old as I am and realising - yet again - everything old is new again (except for the bits that have

This looks an interesting way of learning Haskell, in a domain that is of personal interest. Thank you for posting, I look forwards to reading it.

When I was a kid at school (30 years ago!) we had some kind of assembly language forced down us.. which was good, but most of the class didn't get it. Luckily I was interested in computers anyway and already knew z80 assembly. I think

I was referring to the film version of A Clockwork Orange, which does have a rape scene, but not of the two teenagers from the record shop. The book is another matter though (not that I can remember it clearly, haven't read it for at l

Actually, you're thinking of the wrong part of the film.

To go further, a lot of the worlds good ideas (and their inventors/discoverers) have been thought of as lunatic at some point in their existence. It's almost a prerequisite! ;)

This seems to be a case of "how you dress defines your competencies in your profession", which for some professions it surely would have some bearing[1], but in general, how you are dressed should not really make any difference to

Excuse my ignorance, but have any companies succeeded by just replying "Go Get Fucked" to patent trolls?

My son is 2 and recently found to be deaf. One usage case I imagined (while we are going through the process of learning sign-language and learning about the forthcoming Cochlea Implant he will receive) is exactly this, so it's gratify

It's also safe to say that the NSA are not completely stupid. Any nefarious code would unlikely be completely obvious, even to top developers.

Not germane to this topic, but I'm sure there are quite a few GLBT people that might have an opinion on just how much of an asshole Putin is.

One wonders how tainted Linux is, if one considers systems including SELinux. Yes, I realise the point of SELinux is to make it more secure, but the association with the NSA (they created it) makes it very difficult to trust.

Indeed, audio production would have been but one of the use-cases that would make me interested in an Optimus.

by rasur 13y ago
Indeed, and the Optimus would likely not be used by two people at the same time, thus one might be marginally less likely to suffer the kind of context switches described above (which are of course valid, but in that context).

Yes, this was the site that I found once I googled.. and which told me it was unavailable. No obvious info as to why or if they're planning on resuming production.

Whatever happened to that keyboard with LCD keys (I've completely forgotten it's name, otherwise I'd surely answer my own question). Did it ever become available or is it still vapourware? That seemed like a good idea at the

No links to hand I'm afraid, but I'm pretty sure that it's anything more permanent than a tourist visa. Don't think it varies by canton. I'll try and remember to dig about/ask my wife (sorry, just about to go t

Thanks for the link and heads-up, it's shortly to gain 2 more Swiss-resident signatures. Going to post it about to a few other Swiss here too, to try and get some more signing up.
