It's rather interesting that every story I read advocating that any member of the eurozone should get out for one reason or other, was written by someone not in the eurozone. I wonder if these people are trying to make the situation seem wo

Nope, it's not from Portugal. Judging from the portuguese text, I suppose it's a Brazillian search engine. Either way, congratulations to the creators, it's rather nice. I found out that when the english locale is selected, some text still

Thanks, I found it useful. :) A small bug I noticed: longer biographies aren't showing up in full [1]. Happens in both Chrome 5.0.375.17, Safari 4.0.5 and Firefox 3.6.2; OSX 10.6.3. [1] http://cl.ly/YXs

Yep, it does. Usually OSX gets everything right immediately after connecting my MBP to a TV, although sometimes (rarely, in my experience) it needs adjustment, but that only takes a couple of clicks. I'd love to get one Henge Dock, but it s

Would content-aware fill be enough? http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2010/03/caf_in_ps.html That's so amazing my brain won't stop screaming "FAKE!". :)

I used to use dmenu in Linux, which used just a few kilobytes of memory, wasn't running all the time in the background and was fast... My point was how little memory Alfred uses when compared the Quicksilver or Google QSB (the latter curren

I didn't mean to be too evil in my comment. I actually like the design and how fast it feels (not that QSB is slow). :) I'll keep tuned for updates. It does seems promising, although it isn't yet complete enough for me (or for people who te

Not bad at all, but I still find Google Quick Search Box[1] more complete. Navigating the filesystem directly is what I miss the most in Alfred. EDIT: It also doesn't seem to have a built-in calculator. :( [1] http://code.google.com/p/qsb-

What can I say? Pico Computing likes to brag and Dr. Dobb's published an article about it. As you said in your first comment, there's nothing new about this.

Sorry, my bad. I didn't bother to research, just pulled that from the article. Pico Computing has announced that it has achieved the highest-known benchmark speeds for 56-bit DES decryption, with reported throughput of over 280 bil

Sure, but I suppose their means didn't consist in a PCI Express card filled with FPGAs, like described in the article.

I think their point was this: When using a Pico FPGA cluster, however, each FPGA is able to perform 1.6 billion DES operations per second. A cluster of 176 FPGAs, installed into a single server using standard PCI Express slots, is

Well, it's not strictly necessary, I could have just used an image with my email address but that could be harvested by OCR-capable spambots (I think there are a few in the wild) and wouldn't be clickable. ;) With the captcha, I can be fair

I use a combination of reCAPTCHA Mailhide [1] and Javascript. By default I use the link to my "mailhidden" email. Then, some Javascript code [2] replaces that link with a mailto link. The email is saved in the js file after being ROT13'd an

I'm working on 0xCOFFEE, a compiler for a toy language implemented using Ruby, TreeTop and LLVM. http://github.com/meqif/0xCOFFEE It's quite fun, but I had to fork llvmruby (the ruby bindings for LLVM), since it lacked some things, like a
