It seems less productive for longer typing sessions and too slow to "install" it on your hand for shorter ones. I wonder in which use cases would this excel. Truthfully, if I am to forego tactile feedback, I'd much rather pre

Indeed N-queens is used as a case study, my point is that this is a horrible case study and by their admission, they don't even solve it better than the state-of-the-art. A classic example for a high-level synthesis system would have b

that is correct; thanks for the clarification!

That might have been a valid argument if it was coming from the authors of the paper. My point was that computation power is better spent solving problems that matter.

Take a look at this 1969 paper: http://penguin.ewu.edu/~trolfe/QueenLasVegas/Hoffman.pdf For a 2n x 2n grid, the queens can be placed on (k, 2k) and (2n+1-k, 2n+1-2k), k=1..n. For a (2n+1) x (2n+1) grid, an additi

I weep for the wasted computing power that has gone to solving this problem, considering it has a closed form solution.

Lenovo does make 20" and 27" tablets though (their horizon and flex lines)

you probably don't even need a one-way mirror. There exist one-way films you could attach onto an iPad.

Berkeley runs a course named "Reading the Classics" that you might enjoy if your field of interest is Computer Science: http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~christos/classics/cs298.html

I wonder how this compares to wt ( http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt ) in terms of performance.

you'd think that this setup would be much lower cost, but from a quick lookup, these linear sensors (TSL202R) cost more than $8 each in 1k quantity, while you can get a wii controller for about $20. On the other hand, this setup allows

it can also do 6DOF, but yes, it is a variation on De Bruijn sequences (as these sequences don't wrap around)

Do you think that's clever ?! Wait until you see this case : http://www.shapeways.com/model/207851/
