This is cool :) I've actually created something similar for a work-related project, but it's specifically based off Core Data entities and uses QuickDialog for creating and managing the elements (so supporting all the Core Data attribute ty

I had this _exact_ idea when Glacier came out, and even registered a domain with a splash page. Still thinking about building it but lacking time. I was looking at specifically storing RAW files for photographers and generating low-res vers

I agree, I much prefer the old logo. It stood the test of time and to be honest was much more interesting without being garish. The new logo just looks plain, boring, and forgettable.

When they did this in Australia, they had quite a lot of foreign and otherwise less-common names included. There was also things like "Share a coke with your Mate", "Share a coke with your Bro", "Share a coke with your Boss", etc.

(Full disclosure: I have a Happy Hacking Pro 2. I also have multiple Filco Cherry MX keyboards). The difference with HHKB is: 1) the Topre switches over standard Cherry switches; it's personal preference, but they are more expensive. In my

This argument doesn't work for everyone, and you've basically said why — there is so much stuff out there, so if I'm going to spend my time on entertainment, I want to watch the best of the best. My time is an expense, so I want to get back

You can see where the camera is mounted by looking directly down — you can also see in the rover's shadow where the camera you're looking through is.

My workplace is actually right above a microbrewery. We have beer o'clock every Friday at around 3:30pm :) We're in Australia FWIW.

Interesting. I've had issues with a me.com email — for seemingly no reason at all it will say I'm providing the incorrect password. Seems to happen every other week at random intervals.

This change kind of does that too, though.

From the Chromium issue: "You can recreate the default entry by deleting your "Web Data" file out of your profile and restarting. Note that this will completely reset all your search engines."

Create an alternate Google Search using something like https://encrypted.google.com/search?q=%s and leave the old one there. You can set the new one as default for the time being and revert to the original afterwards.

Game Engine Architecture and Real-Time Collision Detection were both prescribed material in my games technology course (done as a double major with CS). Cool to hear that they're recommended by industry folk :) Gregory's book is especially

Yeah, if I remember correctly "NUMB3RS" likens IRC to pirates trading illegal drugs in international waters.

I'd really like to know how much memory is being used per unique model. Until we see more than a couple different models being re-used everywhere, I'm going to stay skeptical. Also his reasoning for the lack of variety of '3 weeks before Ga

I agree. Speaking as someone about to graduate in CS, having started with C, a simple assembly language (LC-3), and later focusing on C++, I've found picking up new languages fairly easy with the stronger understanding of what's going on un
