my university acquired one this past fall. Not sure if it was donated (probably) or the CS department just decided "we want one" and got it. Right now, it just sits in a corner on the third floor of our CS building, waiting for people to co

"the `./configure && make && make install' routine seems to constantly break on OS X." macports [1] is a great thing. I like it almost as much as I like freebsd's ports system (which is my favorite package system). [1] http

Actually, Vietnamese would work better. We have a lot more Vietnam refugees here than we do Chinese folks. If you'll notice, the three main languages you can get government papers in (at least over in San Jose, no experience elsewhere) is E

I can count on one hand the number of papers I've read in the past month or two describing an implementation of a technique where the implementation described was available publicly. so... less than 32 papers have the implementati

I like mutt a lot. The keybindings are awesome. I like that it comes with native gpg support. That said, I like (and use) Apple Mail a lot. The gpg plugin is what makes mail.app usable for me. I do not ever send non-pgp-signed email.

Let's sum this up. Apache states that if java 7/8 has non-open licensing, they'll leave. Oracle votes for java 7/8 to have non-open licensing. Apache leaves. Oracle looks Apache in the eye and asks "Are ethics and morals rea

If HN were to do that, I'd leave. Not allowing new registrations would end the "hacker" part of hacker news. Hacking is about being open, sharing information, and ALLOWING OTHERS TO SHARE BACK. To disallow new registrations would be to disa

I go to Florida Tech. I was watching the webcast of the launch up until just after it launched. Then I ran outside and caught it just as it was getting over the trees. Watched it until it was just out of view. I love my university.

^You may replace coke with any proprietory beverage of your choice. (I chose coke because the word “coke” has less characters than “pepsi” or “thums-up”. Thus I saved a few KiloBytes of a costly resource known as computer me

When I was in middle school (5 years ago), algebra was standard 8th grade math. Honor students got 2 years of algebra from 7th to 8th grade. At least, my year was given two years of algebra.

at my university, I see a lot of people using firefox simply because they don't like chrome's tabs-on-top thing, and they don't know how (if it's even possible) to change chrome to have tabs on bottom.

Aside from the mentioned safari bug, it looks as if diaspora is starting to shape up. That said, I wonder how many of the security issues have been fixed?

especially when companies like facebook & google discriminate against you for not using firefox, safari, chrome, or IE. example: when I use google docs, I have to set my browser (midori) to identify as safari in order to not be told "yo
