Very nice. Can you provide some references you used, particularly the video side? I'd like to learn to build one for myself.

on the contrary, I find communicating in this way a rather reliable method of talking in short hand. I was happy to be wrong, since phk illuminated another reason why some people may advocate breaking compatibility, and it is easy to get to

Cultish doomsday people may. Don't forget where the idea of drinking the koolaid come from.

Well that's true, assuming that digital distribution is less expensive (likely) and the copyright holders are not charging anything (less likely).

As far as I'm aware, books are cheap in India. I wonder what usecase would justify an underpowered tablet.

$5 isn't much if you are able to demonstrate more value - example: personal safety - what are the areas to avoid? where can you find free water fountains? where are the best spots for a cheap meal along the route? You might be able to raise

Perhaps the only place for C to go is for a final consolidation specification, which will be frozen for 50 years. You might even remove some broken parts of previous specifications, but with 50 years of stability, it gives a lot of confiden

First off, I didn't realize. I'm sorry. I am responsible for so much old code that I say we should not cripple the future for it. I had to read that a few times. Are you advocating a clean break so that whatever that is futu

The "Backwards compatibility, no matter the cost" mentaility is costing us dearly in the quality of the tools we have work with in the future, while providing us no relevant new benefits. That is only because you don't have a

Summary: While the aircraft was in cruise at 37,000 ft, one of the aircraft's three air data inertial reference units (ADIRUs) started outputting intermittent, incorrect values (spikes) on all flight parameters to other aircraft systems. Tw

UMG will probably have to argue that MegaUpload is a criminal organisation that distributions disproportionately high infringing content, therefore, them producing essentially an advertisement that tells people about MegaUpload amounts to l

It is quite clear to me that YouTube is a private property and as such it has no obligations to host anything it doesn't want. This is not a 1st Amendment issue or even a DCMA issue, if UMG had a contractual agreement with YouTube, whereas

I think the author is making assertions based on dubious assumptions: Whether it’s a high-profile tech company like Yahoo!, or a more established conglomerate like GE or Home Depot, large companies have a hard time keeping the

There is an Australian company that made terrestrial GPS transmitters capable of very long ranges. They had been doing trials with the USAF. I wonder if that $47m contract referred to them.

Interfering with intellectual property infringement is rather different than infringing on intellectuals.

I never expected Malaysia to be mentioned in the same breath as Iran and China.

How about the TV shows you watch, the books you read, and whether you call things "Grape Juice" or "Grape Drink". The problem with bad Fico is that it in itself can create self-fulfilling prophesies. Just look at Italy.

Actually Nokia has done a lot more than Microsoft. But obviously they too have a way to go before people learn about it.

Very true. Much is already known about the rites/rituals/practices of successful students. It is a matter of giving timely feedback to encourage students to stay on course.

Have you even tried to submit a patch to Microsoft for one of their Microsoft Shared-Source projects (there is a list here: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/sharedsource/default.mspx ), ? It is near impossible to get MS to accept them.

You are reading too much into events. MS likes Miguel because he brings some open source respectability to the NET platform. It is also a potential source of licensing revenue stream in the future. MS has no reason to want someone else's im

but it's a cheap shot against algorithms and their role in helping us make correct assessments. But what are we besides our heuristics? Do you remember the mongdb-gate debacle? We rely on people acting in good faith all t

Thanks. The absence of GPU drivers mean WebOS has little relevance for tinkerers.

Can someone explain to me what WebOS actually is? Wikipedia says it is based on the Linux Kernel, so is it like Android which sits on top of a small Linux kernel, but has its own API for UI and telephony? My understanding is that to achieve

10B is nothing in terms of public debt. Every policy must be driven by policy objectives. For instance, if you want a risk-free way to create jobs in the short term for existing residents in US, a startup visa is a long bet. (There may be o

Interesting. In the long run, I believe this is the wrong approach. Scenegraph-based UI can be easier to HW accelerate.
