From someone raised in the Christian church: I was taught from a very young age certain things about God and man: that God was all-knowing and all-powerful; that God was the creator of everything; that man was irrevocably prone to sin and t

I hated using the Rosen book in undergrad. Concrete Mathematics would have been fine as the sole text for such a course.

My iPad has never generated much heat at all on its own. I've received temperature warnings when I used it in direct sunlight for 20 minutes, but it never even gets warm to the touch with regular use.

Apparently the error and response time graphs are expressed in dimensionless units of relative suckiness.

It's pretty, but does it have any significant physical interpretation? I.e., what are the actual behaviors of the system that emerge from the given rules?

If you're on a Mac, the demo doesn't work in latest Chrome or Safari, but does work on Firefox 3.6. Just to save you the frustration.

Looks like it got deaded. I won't link it obviously, but in my opinion, the exchange is a matter of public record now and I support it remaining here.

I share some concerns with the commenters on the article. Having used salvia a few times, I can confirm that the way in which it is smoked has a drastic effect on the outcome. I can't imagine that the variables (method of combustion and inh

I was going to grab eurocentrist.com, but all the cool ones on the top 500 list are actually taken. Even buckminsterfullerene.net. Yeesh.

I can validate this. I was an intern in '06 and routinely spelunked the org chart. I recall seeing up to 11 or 12 layers from bottom to top. I was 8 or 9 from Ballmer myself, if you regard my mentor as my immediate superior.

ADBE isn't going down because the market closed before the implications of this situation became obvious. For that matter, they're still not entirely obvious. But you can bet they're going to open down tomorrow.

It's nothing like the Johnny Chung Lee videos, but it's about as compelling and well-executed as the technique allows. I was at least 99 cents-worth amused.

No. The complaint is that the error code is inaccurate and indistinguishable from correctly reported corruption. Moreover, it has an unnecessary disk check as a side-effect. This is more than a slight annoyance.

I feel that the connotation of "code smell" is a little stronger than what you state, but mostly I take umbrage to this statement: "Moving these methods to collaborators and making them public creates opportunities for future reuse without

My team was a YC reject in April '08. My partner and I split and we've each spun out a few ideas independently. I now work as a web programmer at a Windows shop and moonlight in a variety of areas. The reason for choosing this route was the

I spent much of my fourth grade year with my nose buried in a copy of Getting Started in Electronics from Radio Shack. This definitely brought back a lot of memories.

Before you criticize this article as simplistic or unnecessary (arguments about interest to this audience aside), consider that .NET 1.1 didn't have built-in serial port communication. Having spent many hours hacking serial comm in C#, I ca

Doesn't the pricing seem a bit too granular, though? I suspect the pricing categories will collapse into 3, maybe 4, levels eventually.

"2. Windows users are generally less clueful, and therefore require more time-consuming hand-holding." And you earnestly believe that forcing them to use BSD would make them somehow better able to grok computing?

Unless they happen to be that special blend of better and faster, in which case they will out-innovate and overtake you. However, that probably would have been inevitable anyway.

I absolutely love this idea and can't wait for it to expand. One lil' bug, though: when I finish the "add location" process, I get this message: "Fatal error: Call to undefined function drawError() in [...]date_wizard.php on line 655"
