There are android mini pcs with Android OSs, much larger selection of apps/games, for less than half that price. They can easily be found for ~$35 http://www.laptopmag.com/android-sticks

Well sure. Isn't everything a series of events leading to something? Even my own existence is a series of events: parents born, meeting at the right moment, having sex at the right time...

Actually, 12 per hour is about 1900 a month. Not bad. Here in Italy, I'm doing development work at a University for far less than that.

I used to think this of software development. The problem is that when I started doing it "because I had to" instead of "because I wanted to" it took all the fun out of it.

Wow really? Well I hope you thought it through and didn't just rely on a "stranger's comment" for this decision. In any case, I wish you the best and trust you'll have the skills to find something you really love -

If you're undecided you're probably a bit unhappy in your current position. Therefore change! :)

by sktrdie 12y ago
If you're happy why change? Yes change is almost always good. But it's similar to saying that you should leave your girlfriend simply because you've been with her for too many years. Think of a job as a relationship. If it&#x

I'd rather use a proprietary software running within an open sandbox I know and trust which asks me permissions for anything it does, rather than an open source software which can do whatever it wants anytime it wants.

I don't really understand this article. JavaScript is less of a trap than regular software: the code is running in a much less capable sandbox. This means that unlike unfree software which behaves against the users' rights, or aga

Surely the future of the Web will be a decentralized one, without a single point of failure. No matter the policies or laws we have in place, this will continue happening somewhere. We need to fix this from a technical point of view if we t

I find myself in the exact opposite situation. Been working for industry since I was 18 and am 28 now. Never got a degree. I'm tired of working in a consumer setting where everything has to be faster, better, more pleasing for the clie

Ah my bad. Nonetheless it seems like harpoons did not fire. Tweet from just 30 secs ago: https://twitter.com/ESA_Rosetta/status/532579871202238464 Can it stay on the surface without the harpoons?

Most likely they have headless web browsers running on both the main spacecraft (probably chromium) and the Philae lander. Web sockets enables the lander to communicate to the spacecraft which then sends its signals down to earth using regu

Having attended ISWC this year, where I also published in the proceedings of a workshop, I believe you don't understand exactly how academia works. Academic fields such as the semantic web have nothing to give to industry. It's li

Semantic web is mainly an academic field. The theoretical research produced by this community is a foundation valuable for a variety of different fields. Stop thinking about the semantic web as the next big thing or the future of the web. J

How was the hacker able to get Facebook credentials? Facebook uses HTTPS and so does Live.com. Even if I'm connected to a malicious router, only me and Facebook know about the data we're sending each other. Am I missing something

I can't see the use case for wanting to send some information between devices this way. Perhaps PONG or other types of video games?

Sorry, what I meant by speed is: the ability to quickly access small sized resources such as HTML pages. The initial handshake required for P2P systems makes this process slower. Obviously for larger files where there are lots of peers serv

by sktrdie 12y ago
In terms of accessing small resources (HTML pages), a client-server setup is by far faster than a P2P system. The Web is client-server specifically for this reason. Not to mention that the whole power of a client-server setup is the ability

This makes me wonder whether the "I am not Dorian Nakamoto" message left on p2pfoundation is also a fake. It did seem weird back then that instead of signing a message using his well known public key, he decided to use a p2p forum
