I have been using Ubuntu now for a little over a year, and honestly, I find it incredibly tedious to do the most mundane amount of configuration. I want to adjust what programs get run at start up. On Arch Linux, I go to /etc/rc.d and remov

Ok, so you would recommend what? A single key? But remember, it needs to work in a text editor where you're actually typing stuff. I hate to be the guy, but the "/" key definitely works to find something on firefox (and lots of programs),

In general there is one major impact every million years -a mere blink of the eye in geological time. If the universe is only a few billion years old, how is a million years a "blink of the eye"?

The space in mathematics journals is limited. They really can't afford to publish anything that isn't of the form "Theorem-Proof." What is useful is contacting people in the community surrounding a particular result, including the person (o

I remember back in 2003 when steam came out along with the release of CS v1.6. The whole community complained for a long time, setting up private v1.5 servers and doing anything in their power to avoid steam. The naysayers had their points,

One of the neatest ways replays are implemented is in MAME (Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator). The replay is recorded by just recording all of the inputs given to the emulator during the course of the game. Since the entire system is determ

(One of these days I might really learn X programming and do a tiled WM configured with Lua, but I've got too many projects already.) This has already been done. It's called awesomeWM and it is exactly as good as its name indicates.

The really interesting thing about set is that it has a very mathematical interpretation. You can think of sets as points in affine 4-space over Z_3. There is actually a very interesting paper on the whole thing: http://www.math.rutgers.ed
