Seeing this I have some faith that my latest lark might get some attention (not money attention, but people attention). I am going to work on a hand held text adventure play thing. Going to post the schematics on the web, I could use an aru

I seriously do not get this privacy sham. All of a sudden everybody and there uncle is very concious about some algorithms (that select the ad for you) knowing what they searched for. I mean even if I search for something inappropriate and

My new year resolution is to set 28 day goals. Every 1st of the month I set a something as my goal, then work on it for 28 days. I have to make sure I do not deviate from it. Then after 28 days, what ever time is left in the month will be "

I worked on LPC2148, an ARM7 based controller. A refreshing experience I guess. Made me realize how easy AVR series actually is. Started working with Atmega8s again this Wednesday and realized that I find it easier to work on.

What about skinny ... umm... wannabe hackers like me? I am not underweight, my weight is fine according to my height. But I just look too skinny. Any of you have faced that problem? Any suggestions as to what I can do to gain some respectab

So stuff means only startups and hacking here right? My dad took an exam in which people well above his age fail, but he passed and got selected in a prestigious government position. He then went on to work in a lot of departments of Indian

But there is this one thing which is bugging me and my sister. We haven't actually used a Mac system so this may be a stupid question. The laptop was stolen right? and everybody (excluding me) sets a password to their logins. How did the th

That is the deleting part (I believe their can be two options, one to delete without any mark and one which inserts "some text missing" sort of message wherever there is a deletion). But if you have the ability to edit the logs (like changi

If you can edit the logs, what is the use of maintaining them? I can understand deleting part of the log, but editing?

Not exactly programming, but more about cracking "cracking is like sex with a prostitute, you have to get in, take all the goodies and get out without leaving a trace." EDIT: spelling mistake

I am not Cristina but still I got together with friends and drank a lot of chocolate based drinks (we even tried taking shots of melted black chocolate, my advice, DON'T).

Nothing as glamorous as you guys. Working as an intern at Gridbots Technologies[1] which is a robotics company. It has helped me expand my knowledge about embedded systems and pushed me to try out new things (like the LPC2148 which is an AR

It's nice that you have a very easy API to make lessons, maybe someone can port _why's poignant guide to ruby as a Interactive Fiction to hackety hack. Q: is there a way to add pictures?

Naah, its just a hypocrite and does what it feels like doing.

Why this hypocrisy then? Shouldn't we have equal standards for all the things?

About point number 1, isn't full time a little too much? I mean hey one can learn even if he is not working full time on something. If what you said were the case, nobody would have been able to learn any thing in life as we have a life oth

As I said, all hail HN's hypocrisy. When we have a slight sarcasm or a small joke we all downvote it. Then why do you think this belongs here, this is the type of thing we try to avoid in those sarcasm or jokes. You see, the joke and sarcas

Then why don't we take our guard down when someone posts a little sarcasm or a small joke. Why do these posts always have a -4 or less karma? Why don't we have a separate section for lolcatz pics? In an office we have all that, nobody is to

I knew I would get down voted for this comment (all hail HN's hypocrisy) but I just had to say this. As I stated above, nothing personal. And this does not go with the thank you notes. They are usually appended by a little brief of what peo
