The Security Now episode on bitcoin was quite good. Steve Gibson also provides transcriptions of all of this episodes.

I dont really get why people want the shirt to be recognisable. To me it seems that only super brands will get a huge recognition, other brands will be left in an equally puzzling world.

Instead I prefer tees that trigger intrigue and sometimes awesome conversation. I have the 20th anniversary SDF tee, in four years of wearing it I have added a score of users to the service. Even once someone saw the DEC terminal and struck(?) up a really cool conversation about the hardware he worked on.

As an aside, my favourite conversation starter is the Double Fine Costume Quest Blueprint tee.

It sounds like the multiplayer is implemented in similar way to Fabel 2. A single player game, but if your friends were online you would see a floating orb where ever they were in the world. You could interact through game play as well, though I am a little rusty on how that worked.

An implementation like that would be really cool. It would definitely me a nice argument against the EA / Activision(Blizzard) always online approach.

The links on lordbritishpresents.com didn't have the -0 at the end. I only got on once someone tweeted a different link. It might be because I was watching as the timer stopped.

Kickstarter page is not up yet, but there is a live streamed announcement via http://www.lordbritishpresents.com/.

The most painful component of Java EE development for me is definitely the JSF side of things. Without building anything substantial with JAX-RX I cant really comment. REST and a rich frontend, JS based would be my choice. The sad truth is that I live in a world where usable is beaten out by sellable.

I know it is not the mode to comment to mention your own up vote.

Rails might have deteriorated in ease of use, but I cannot imagine it being worse than Java EE was in 2004. Modern Java EE is a world of pain, even simple apps are difficult to build. The entire front end stack is antisocial, difficult to extend and anachronistic.

I don't think anyone working with a modern java web stack could read this post about rails 'being like java' without a dark chuckle.

I really like this idea, the peer review system in valve is probably the closest to the best system I have heard of.

Switching tools isn't a problem if you can massage tools to be a similar as possible.

I install a vi plugin anywhere I can. Most of the time this bridges my mental gap. There is nothing worse than a half working vi plugin though.

I have to chime in and exclaim the brilliance of the Lammy Safari. I asked on app.net for a fountain pen to replace my cheap old parker pen.

The only stipulations that it is long enough for my giant hands without the lid and that it not be made of metal. (I have trouble holding metal pens)

After getting the Lammy Safari two months ago I find my self writing much more. My notes are much more useful and are a pleasure to write.

I already have both, I just wanted the movie DRM free. I dont really enjoy adding to my backlog of games.

The precedent is in place. Prior to the release of C&C4 EA release the original games for free online. Many different sites have hosted the files, everyone I have seen has had ads.

It is even worse than that. I tried to edit a .tex file yesterday in TextEdit, launching from the command line with open -e. GateKeeper told me that the .tex file wasnt signed and could not be opened. This is a barrier even for very technical people.

This is a strange reveral of the gnu/linux debate. The linux kernel is not the important component, the windowing system is.

I dont want to run X applications on a tablet, I have tried that before with the n700. I want a fully finger friendly user interface, the one that comes with android works pretty well.

I can understand the appeal of a community owned FOSS user interface, but why attach the linux tag as a selling point.

I feel the exact same way, but i have backed this device.

As a backer I have a voice, in the worst case I can use instagram to move my pictures around for the film.

When I was looking for a job I would routinely go through:

- careers.stackoverflow.com - prospects.ac.uk (Though you need to have been a student to register) - s1jobs.com (Mostly so I could have at least seen one ad a day) - talentscotland.com - workinstartups.com

I have tried, but can't seem to find a link explaining what flavour.me is. I hope moo know what they have bought.

This is pretty cool I currently use a lexar 32Gb usb dongle[1] though it does protude from the macbook air.

There are also usb drives that fit inside the usb port and does not need a special tool to remove, though I cant find it on amazon anymore.

I tried, but I cant find C anywhere inside there.

Any indication whether I will ever be able to buy one? I cant imagine walking into the carphone warehouse tomorrow and picking one up.

I had a script that took a picture of my every half hour. This ran for about six months and gave me a brilliant insight into the ins and outs of my laptop usage.

My 2010 MacBook Air, which is 20 months old according to coconutBattery, still holds a four hour charge. This machine was fine for the final two years of my degree. Hell it can even play Diablo 3 pretty well.

I would expect to make a return on my investment when I sell it later this year. No other manufacturer can claim results like this.

A MacBook Pro will have an even longer life, this is just a 1.4GHz processor.
