cwoebker··on Mecanum wheel
When reading the wikipedia page I was surprised to learn that: "In 1997, Airtrax Incorporated and several other companies each paid the US Navy $2,500 for rights to the technology, including old drawings of how the motors and controllers worked, to build an omnidirectional forklift truck"

This was more than 20 years ago, but $2,500 seems on the low end for a usage-license. This patent is pretty interesting after all. Does anyone have any knowledge in this area? Is that average for these types of patents, or is the Navy giving it away for cheap to incentivize new innovation?

cwoebker··on Ask HN: Local Wiki App from a couple days ago?
You are my hero. Thanks a lot, that was it!
cwoebker··on Ask HN: Local Wiki App from a couple days ago?
Nope, it was a standalone app. It ran on Mac OS (and maybe Linux). I am thinking it started with a B? Oh well, I am sure I will stumble upon it some day;)
cwoebker··on Poll: do you live in the country you were born in?
Although experiences across different states can differ. The OP states having moved to a different country. This entails new culture, language and traditions for many countries.

Of course this is more likely to happen in Europe where countries are smaller and borders, well aren't borders anymore.

The United States is a huge country and the job opportunities and lifestyle in Mexico may not seem beneficial to most citizens.

cwoebker··on Mega has launched
I had to type the url exactly like this:

http://mega.co.nz/

Other links just failed for me. They definitely messed something up. Or I am missing something central here.

cwoebker··on The If-by-whiskey fallacy
Well I think thats cause on the one hand a supporter might consider " the oil of conversation, the philosophic wine, the ale that is consumed when good fellows get together..." as true while another might consider "the devil's brew, the poison scourge, the bloody monster, that defiles innocence" as true. Depending on ones opinion something is true for one but not true for another. A person might only be able to see their own side of things without allowing other opinions. So I guess fallacy is a somewhat appropriate term here:)
cwoebker··on Please Stop Attacking MIT's Network
Given how many applicants MIT gets I do not think that 5-10 people would be enough to seriously upset them. Don't forget they can just get a couple more students with perfect SATs if they want. Furthermore, like the author said, it wasn't MIT as a community that went after Aaron, it was the administration.
