I like the idea of Cocotron. However, I just could not get it to work on compiling for my bsd system. C'est la vie.

Wait, so instead of spending a semester learning about algorithms and stuff, I can go throw money at the problem? Why am I in school?

GNUstep is actually not that bad. The most annoying thing is writing the makefiles. They have good documentation if you are building a library, command line tool, or application. If you aren't, then the documentation is basically "this exis

"Hand-written letters: For that matter, hand-written anything. When was the last time you wrote cursive? In fact, do you even know what the word "cursive" means? Kids born in 2011 won't -- but they'll put you to shame on a tiny keyboard." M

"Hate dialing up to DEFCON 1" At first, I thought you were talking about DefCon, the convention, which really confused me. Then, I realized you were talking about defense condition.

I don't go to a school known for their CS program (we have a good one, just not a renowned one). Of roughly 30 or so freshman in the CS program, I know of about 20 or so who said they did not know how to program before they went to colleg

So, apparently, these things will be wirelessly powered, likely through the same antennae that receives the display information. also given the current state of wireless power, that means a lot of power is going to be wasted. As cool as it

You technically don't need a delorean, any car with stainless steel shell will work just as fine (paraphrased from Doc).

Even better, Ham Radio. A hobby actually has an active community of people using their stations to communicate long distance with other in a (semi-)digital format. (E.G. PSK-31[1]). [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSK-31

That's changed. It used to be (as of summer 2008), much easier to delete a profile from myspace.

The author doesn't know, but he hypothesizes that it's because "the idea of prior distribution [is] contrary to Communism".

I think these apply more to engineering in general, rather than spacecraft design.

IANAL, but this is technically legal, so long as it's used ONLY for commerce, by means of the Interstate Commerce Clause of the US Constitution. After that, it becomes unconstitutional, far as I know. So, in other words, it's unconstitution

Yes, you're correct, thanks for enlightening me.

Holy crap. I know tons of people who would use this. Only problem is getting them to migrate from using facebook to blog their images, to using this, which is (in my opinion), a much better user experience. Then again, I'm not a big fan of

For those of us in the US, 88 km/h is roughly 55 mph. (54.68 to be more precise) EDIT: Also, later on, 103 km/h is mentioned, which is 64 mph. Still, this is extremely cool for a solar car to get that fast.

so, why hasn't email been made illegal? It's essentially free post, and the post office could argue that it's killing their revenues.

and this is part of why every email I send is PGP-signed. <3 this decentralized way of identifying me. All you gotta do is trust a guy who trusts me, or semi-trust several guys who (semi-)trust me.

I dislike google reader. I prefer native clients which cache the content I read. Currently, I use newsfire (mac) [1], before I was using newsbeuter (command line). Yes, I am aware that you can technically switch reader to an "offline mode".

the g1, in terms of processor speed, was probably on par with as much as the iphone 3g. I've played with the droid x, and other than the screen size, didn't really see that much of a difference between it and the g1. Edit: After a quick bro

Yes. I've been playing with a g1 for quite some time (got it in september). Did a bit of development with it (nothing I'd ever release to the public, unfortunately). I did get quite a bit used to it. I had it rooted and was running android

Wow, reading some of the responses makes me feel YOUNG. I started programming some 3 or 4 years ago (at the young age of 14) in C. I wrote various simple tools that did cool things. For example, in mid 2008, I wrote a short program that int
