Never a fan of Tolkien's works, many friends have been, and I still recognize what's not in the movies. But I don't underestimate the power of the literature that moved so many. It's not diminished one iota by any attempt at a performance i

This project certainly involved some heavy lifting! Great to see Javascript show up in the MIDI-control arena inside a DAW (at last!!!). With generative and listening features, Jnana's sure to spark considerable interest. It'd be great if t

One sure way to get metric passed in the US: tell all the 220-lb ladies that their weight will drop to 100kg.

If a simple circuit doesn't work (happens) it could be a faulty part (happens). Or something is installed with the wrong polarity (diode for example). Or a wire that should be conducting isn't. If you have spare parts, try them. If you don'

I'm wondering if you did (or anyone has done) any cost effectiveness on using SSD's rather than HD's. (Or maybe that's an order-of-magnitude too low to consider?)

Oddly enough, if everyone complies with their wishes, there will be no way to discover or get to their website. Suits me fine.

And how much will this "solution" (extraordinary evidence required) --cost-- ?? (On the face, apart from economic & natural costs.) Compared to (over-simplified outline) 1. TERMINATE beginning a relentless closing down of the biggest CO

I see no reason to come up with examples apart from the US Gov's response to the massive Wikileaks cable publication. Ignore for a moment that some of the 'secrets' were about illegalities, and recognize that the US Gov has things it NEEDS

Speaking as a long-time WP editor, if the Foundation decided to fly Wales around First Class, that sure wouldn't bother me at all. The man has devoted himself to a widely-recognized and ever-more-succesful project ... I think he deserves so

Isn't is curious when OS's don't keep track of non-system software ... when it's installed, what process installed it, whether that process was under local control, any other info to indentify the source ... and to list that information on

I think this is a case of not understanding operators who're fishing for suckers. If you're not that kind of predator, you might not see it.

The essence of the story on Watson: it beat the humans because it was faster on the trigger finger. Same story as John Henry and the steam-powered hammer. As for how it acquired its "knowledge" ... by "reading" documents ... yes, an ocean i

Great to see this incredible, simple, elegant idea and OS example get well-deserved recognition. Plus there are few things more fun to code.

Michael S. Malone explores the "dark ages" idea in his new book "The Guardian of All Things:The Epic Story of Human Memory". His conclusion was that it was pretty dark for 5 or 6 centuries after Rome fell - then the "high Middle Ages" began

HOw about a nice Tandy 15MB hard drive for only $2495? (Installation kit? Additional $500.) https://lh3.ggpht.com/_osrVjnPbdEM/TLAcKFueMqI/AAAAAAAAfy8/1... Tandy nearly gave the computers away, then made big $$$ on add-ons/peripherals. Or

Toward the end of their popularity (but before the C-128), I remember buying new (or packaged as) C-64's at Target for just above $100.

This would actually be funny IF I thought there were still serious grown-ups in Washington who were actually trying to find a real solution. I don't.

Some of those are definitely not useless to kids. Remember when you were a kid and some crabby old biddy gave you crap for 'wasting your time'? I do. As for adults and the web: How 'useful' is porno? (Same principle)

Same fascination with this, I think, as with the simple rules of Conway's. S'pose there are other such "a-mazing" simple revelations still floating in the void?

I remember when web design was a topic. Hasn't been for a few years, and it shows. I don't zoom my laptop-sized screen much; I usually have to run my minimum font-size at 20. Works fine on about 3/4 of pages; so long as I'm maintaing proper

A couple of non-fiction ideas I recall from my (very enjoyable) freshman writing class. Consider as rules-of-thumb. * Write about what you enjoy writing about. If you're bored it'll probably rub off on readers. * Begin with a summary of whe

The flood barrier needed to -partially- protect NYC from Sandy flooding is estimated at $6-10 billion dollars. Spread that out along the coastline and the taxes needed gets into REAL money. Of course, with 110+F temperatures down South ALL

Is there a good place to plug-in to get an overview of what (has been and is) going on in this area, without having to dive in all the way? An overview of the concepts, not the nuts and bolts, not the heavy-lifting.

It's good that people know these facts. But it's also obvious that additions to the burden of "background radiation" cause increased likelihood of resultant cancers (and other, more ignorable mutations in fauna and flora). (This is much the

There are predators in the works, aren't there? The term is somewhat subjective, but not very much so to the people who feel like they're lunch.
