Need based aid isn't really targeted towards people who's parents who make more than 100k (more than the national average). Merit scholarships are easy to achieve, given that you are exceptional. But if you are middle class and not especia

Yep. You can't really claim that "lawful" is ambiguous in a proposal designed for the lawmakers of a particular country... Other than that, a level headed, smart interpretation of the proposal by the EFF.

Yep, android has always been similar to how iOS 4 works. To do multitasking on a mobile right, you need to save state when you get backgrounded anyway... so rebooting the phone basically loses you nothing. That being said, the only time I

Home resets your state completely. Much more sane to do that than leave state hidden around. You want what you were just doing? Back. You want to do something different? Home. Simple.

Not really that true, I have an 3rd gen touch and a Moto Droid, and I much prefer the android device. Better resolution, better browsers (parallel load of tabs, faster tab switching, capability to render more than one tab at a time, flash

NPC algorithms are roughly equivalent, so a P solution to one is a P solution to all. So, assuming the proof would be somewhat constructive, that would give you a P solution. But, RSA (and probably other) cryptosystems aren't even thought

Could you provide some research supporting the "find its level" claim? I always believed the opposite -- without an estate tax, it's too easy to end up with an autocratic elite.

Also, the Droid X will launch in August or so, so if you go that route you may want to wait a few months (it also doesn't have the droid's fiddly d-pad.

It's funny that your choices are only svn and git though... Eclipse implements a framework so any VCS system can be integrated... Apple (hackily) implements two VCS and... that's all the choices you get. I can see logic behind decisions li

Yeah, I haven't gotten a chance to try my stuff under 4 yet (blol Apple changing how the original window is generated and breaking apps), but an IDE where I can not have 47 windows open at the end of a dev session? finally! XCode is finally

I think that a JIT compiler will eventually be added to python, so the sooner this happens the better. The new generation of javascript engines (e.g. V8) have shown us how fast dynamic code can be; there is no reason python can't achieve t

This is actually a really interesting idea I can't believe I haven't heard of yet. No matter what the angry neckbeards might say, just because content is a number doesn't mean copyright is invalid. Obviously, we can generalize this approac
