I stopped using a desktop about a year and a half ago as my main development machine. MacBook Pro 15" is my main development workstation now. When I work at my desk I plug it in to a keyboard, mouse, external monitor and ethernet. The only

I agree with all of the above and will ad a few things that attracted me to use Lua as the scripting language for our game engine: - Data can be easily constructed inline without a lot of extra syntax - The interpreter is very fast - Functi

Looks like it could be Perlin noise applied to a bump map. Edit: In fact, almost certain, see the third texture in this link: http://www.texturemaker.com/help/functions/generator_perlinn...

It occurs to me that since this part of a child pornography investigation, 16 weeks in jail for not giving them a password might actually be a far lighter sentence than if the key was provided and illicit material was found. I don't condone

I tried for a while to use variable width, but I do a lot of data driven work in Lua and find I make 2 dimensional grids quite frequently, and unfortunately, there's no good way to line them up with a variable width font in a text editor if

Don't forget to factor in the cost of fuel for the truck and the lawn mower, as well as maintenance and any government fees. Otherwise, I like your plan.

I grew up in Berkeley and lived in the Bay Area until I was 27. I moved to Seattle 13 years ago and have no plans to return. I don't miss the weather at all, in fact I enjoy the generally cooler summer and actually having some variation (I

I like the app, and if there is indeed an iPad version, that would be fantastic. I played with it a bit this morning and posted a review. Here's the gist of what I said: Pros: - The music font looks really good, very clean and readable. - T

Except that the app scrolls the music along one staff. You'd still just get one staff, and it would be gigantic. An iPad version that could show a whole page would be much more useful.

It sounds like even the original sponsors feel like the provision is incorrect. Now we have a conundrum. If the provision is repealed, will people start running airplanes in to buildings every time they want law changed? Seems like this guy

Agreed! Maybe we could lobby them to replace it with a DeCSS snippet.Or just be subversive and have some stickers printed up and leave them on shelves next to the Barbies.

Do you not note the irony of reading the posts on the link and then writing this?

"Me too." I'll buy a 16 GB WiFi for my wife to replace her ailing laptop. All she does is surf the web, organize photos, play games, e-mail and word processing, and she likes to be able to move around because of our young children. I'll lik

I'm curious as to what would be the motivation to use this rather than SCONS? I browsed the page but perhaps I missed something?

He might be intoning the stereotype (which may or may not be true) that there are more "slacker" students joining business programs, whereas engineering students tend to be more focused and disciplined. Therefore, you might see a very diffe

I've had three cf bulbs crack at the bottom and had the same concern about mercury vapors. One thing I've noticed is that the bulbs that failed were all very inexpensive bulbs from the multipacks I picked up in discount stores. I have never

Paul Krugman and several other economists have commented on this article and basically make a good case that it's a fear mongering Wall Street fed pack of lies. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/23/opinion/23krugman.html http://prospect.org

I'll second that. I was clicking to recommend it in fact. This is the best document I've found on learning Objective-C as a C++ programmer.

This isn't an app criticism, but you might want to have someone edit or at least proofread your website documents. There are many errors in the copy which makes it look unprofessional. Some examples: "Start by adding tasks to GED from you m

For the record, I did read the entire article. And I admittedly dismissed most of it when you stated "This is not a tested theory, just simple speculation." As you discovered, your implementation was effectively a deque. I don't really cons

At the risk of just sounding negative, the "improvements" are making a doubly linked list of arrays. I didn't really see any improvement over the fundamental concept of a linked list. I've got to question if the author read an algorithms bo

I concur, it seems as simple as that. Android doesn't have the momentum, the sexiness, the tight hold on quality that the iPhone has. All of these contribute to its success, and, well iPhone got there first, that counts for a lot.

The answer is yes, with some exceptions. The iPhone has a camera, GPS, cell phone and G3 capability, bluetooth aNd a built in microphone and speaker, which the iPod Touch lack. The app store is device aware and will only sell you applicatio

A ridiculous amount. 12 in fact. I wrote a wiki entry over at stack overflow about this ( http://stackoverflow.com/questions/510261/how-do-you-keep-al... ) I agree, it sometimes seems too much and I wish for some standardization.

There are so many variables in a decision like this that you've not covered. Just to name a few: - Do you have a family that relies on your paycheck? - Do you have enough in savings and little enough in debt that you can survive given that
