Suggestions for gamification systems you've used will also be helpful

Good point.

Life: Doing what I loved first, consistently and without fear. Programming: Switching to emacs and dvorak.

The concept is also touched on in the Assange book.

How to steal a strangers phone: Ask if you can borrow his phone, let him/her hesitate a bit, hesitate a bit yourself, suggest you have them hold your wallet. Hand over cheap wallet filled with rocks. RUN!

Thanks for that link.

Well, that removes me from their rating ecosystem.

This link is just one of the reasons I keep jonesin for HN.

Thanks for posting, I'm in the middle of developing a course for academics about LaTeX, git and collaboration. Perfect hit.

Well, Google dropped it's own Ingress email as spam the other day. I find myself more frequently venturing into the SPAM folder.

As far as I know Unity is distributed with something like this. It specifies that as long as the company using it doesn't make more than $100k a year, it's free. I might be wrong as to the specifics, but I've heard of similar licensing.

Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Would be great if you could detect the rhyme scheme, or set it as fixed.

Great idea.

Agreed, 20 up front without a decent course layout is a bit of a gamble.

44.8 gig mail history. No speed issues, whatsoever.

rsync to RAID 5 externals.

Crashplan running in background.

Google Drive for Docs and working files.

Github & other git services for projects.

Fully agreed. This product sucks. They stole $120 from me and made me a bad gift giver.

I'm glad they're going under.

I'm replacing my simply warn-out SleepTracker.

I really hate the 2 WakeMates I bought.

I was given support up to a point, and then nothing. First there was app problems, then I got stuck with two devices with not enough battery power to last a night.

People shouldn't release weak beta products.

Legend!

Very true. Can't wait for this to realize, however, this does seem like a cool idea. Working with amazingly large amounts of students and academics, I would _prefer_ remember them, even if this meant a bit of rote learning.

Wow, that flipped amazingly fast.

The 'word' tree is cool.

One minor glitch - Google feeds the login 'Afrikaans' as my first language which then makes the application default to 'Dutch' which is a completely different animal.

Good concept, like the layout. :)

As an active programmer and bass player, I used to suffer cramps and wrist pain after extended hours. After a friend suggested it I bought a metal NSD powerball to train the micro-muscles in my hands. I spend about 20 minutes a day training it and after about 3 months the pain stopped and went away - I still regularly use it in 3 minute on, one minute rest intervals.

I also use regular keyboards.

Games are the last vestige of the Windows platform that still chain my students to the platform. If they could game (with the latest and greatest games) on *nix, then, the battle is mostly won, no more dual booting, no more worrying about crappy Windows dev tools.

Can't wait for Valve on *nix - easy to use - great specials. Resyncable.

Why not similarly - create a Chrome plugin - that clicks on all ads (for sites you visit) yet, does not display any?

Thereby funding the content you live, yet killing the ad-flocked web

Odd that this received a 'bad news' in the title. The Glass video got me excited about not needing to carry around GPS, a phone and other unnecessary gadgets, wearing only the glasses I already require. Also, the writer doesn't know what is currently happening inside Google X.
