I think every programmer made their own task manager at least once in their life.. True. Before that it used to be "write your own Tetris".

Nice, but I think game-features make sense where the actual learning perhaps is non-existant or not rewarding enough. When learning how to use a shell you have successes along the way anyway and you don't need any score or badge to feel hap

Great. But in order to use it daily: Where do I put my rucksack?

Also in general, bittorrent is maily used to download copyrighted content illegally. I mean comeon, all bittorrent users know it and use it for that. It's a pity though. BitTorrent is advanced technology that should be used more widely an

http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp W3Schools sees IE below 50% since September 2008. However, it's not representative. But as they say on their page: "Anyway, our data [...] clearly shows the long and medium-term trend

Although programming is a wonderful profession with unique benefits ranging from philosophy to economic value of being able to code (not mentioning the fun aspects of it): If everyone on this planet would be a programmer, we might loose all

Hm, at first this is not a bad idea. As opposed to spam or other Twitter ad-networks where you need thousands of followers before you can earn a dollar, this creates a win-win situation for both the payer and the payee. Instead of hoping th

Yes but then you'd also have to store them across all installed clients/browsers and, when accessing from another computer, first transport the keys to that computer. That's why I think public keys would be the user-friendly way. Public = O

Good question. Right now I guess from a cryptographer's point of view all our emails are basically as public as Twitter messages, if anyone cares to read them. Technically I think a purely passphrase-encrypted webmail would not be very secu

Yes, true. I could've hinted that this kind of post could also be interpreted as an attempt to game the voting system in a creative and thus perhaps interesting way. But I didn't.

So many down-votes? I'm surprised. Although of course I did not answer the original poster's question, don't you agree it is a bit humorous that by trying to answer most people probably will try to vote up to check if they have the same pro

Yes, and giving a damn is not restricted to a nice UI. You can give a damn about clean code. Or performance. Or extensibility. etc.

Yet another affiliate-marketing app. I personally do not have the itch to know what others are buying. I'm more interested in what people are creating.

Not very interesting. I mean, does it matter whether someone worked at Microsoft or HP or Oracle or Accenture etc. before they lost interest in a big-corp career? Or is Microsoft a special case? Or is Mashable running out of "Top X" list id

Not every hardware. There's still problems from time to time but in 95% of cases it works. And that's still better than having to deal with Windows and its problems.

Yes but would you like to be the programmer that wrote it? You would also be a witness. Again, movie stuff.. :)

This is the stuff of movies, but do you think its very wise to write this kind of software for a government? Perhaps if you can somehow stay anonymous..

If product x has a backdoor, this backdoor will also be used by bad people. It can also be cracked and there will always be product y without a backdoor. Don't the legislators see this? Or are criminals statistically really that lazy that t

I don't share the view of the world that now somehow things are worse. This seems to be the view of a conservative person. The opposite is true. The world is now the safest it's ever been. It's also the wealthiest and offers the most opport

I suppose that is because of the evolutionary mechanism to keep the species alive. There's something in place that will unite us when extinction is a possibility (I believe this could be part of reason why wars eventually end..).

So you say less/more difficult communication and perhaps even censorship is better in order to prevent conflict?

Funny. Yesterday ( http://i.imgur.com/oKQsd.png ) I needed to have something translated from Latin. It didn't work, I was disappointed and today they fixed it. Google must have read my mind.

It just takes someone with an eye for aesthetics to look at a design and say whether it's good. I'd suggest hiring someone that dresses well. Some clothes make you look fat, others don't. The person should understand why that is so.
