The greed machine is at it again. This is exactly why I hate patents. Innovate or take a seat and be entertained. Do not leech or you'll bring the whole system down.

Well on the surface nothing, however login credentials can be stolen easily. Focus is on "easily". Sure keys maybe hijacked but the problem becomes non trivial and I am all for making burglars jump through a monkey bar before they even get to the door.

Nicely done and easier to follow. Although I think just like any good business Facebook cannot let it's guard down no matter what this presentation says.

Sigh! This article is probably a few years too late. It would've been handy when alot of people like myself were doing ports a while. Having said that it may still be useful for late adopters.

I think this is typical U.S. spoilt brat mentality. We need a new internet :).

Marked down?! For what?

Yes I agree. I think this typical U.S. spoilt brat mentality. We need a new internet :).

I like this. I think it derive's a bit from Khan's Academy in that it tries to make it look casual and fun.

Haha nice, I publish an essay on amazon kindle a few months ago along the same line. http://www.amazon.co.uk/To-Be-Human-ebook/dp/B00551JJTM/ref=...

Well interest in documentaries could be varied by your personal domain of interest. Since you've not mentioned any particular domain, I'll give you a list of the ones I think were great.

1. Century of Self 2. BBC Horizon Infinity and Beyond 3. BBC Horizon Is Seeing Believing 4. BBC Dangerous Knowledge 5. The Shadow Factory 6. Get Lamp 7. Human Experience

Hope that helps.

Nice. This design of creating a toy boat has been extremely popular in south east asia for atleast the past 20 years. It's good to see it here again. Nothing beats nostalgia. :)

I just tried out Rome in Firefox. Seemed to work fine. It's nicely done.

I fell in love with Arch about 2 years ago and have stayed loyal since. :)

Nice validating read. All of the points quoted in this are discussed in detail in Richard Wiseman's "59 Seconds" book. He references scientific studies associated with all of these points.

According to that book #5 is a big no no. Wiseman claims (and shows with references) that conducted studies suggest that visualisation actually has adverse affects on a person's ability to actually achieve a goal.

Two words. Lex and Yacc. These are freely available tools that should (if nothing else) atleast give you solid launching platform into writing your own language.

Informative. Anybody know what the status of D is? Have people started using it in their projects hobby or even commercial?

I agree. Microsoft's childish attitude towards reinventing the wheel and hijacking ownership is adversely affecting progress in technology.

I can smell another retarded app Idea on it's way.

I agree, if you hadn't said it I would've. Other search engines existed before google. There were other ways to walk the net be it not that fast or somewhat accurate.

I have to disagree with RMS here. As an example of ebooks attacking our freedom, I agree with someone else that the problem is DRM and not the ebooks. Amazon, for example, lets the publisher choose whether they would like DRM in their ebooks or not. More so, the publishing platform lets the publisher to allow lending. The issue of Amazon wiping out 1984 is one of those things that has been done to death as a news article on the internet. Sure it was wrong, but from the copyright holder's point of view, it may be justified.

I agree. One correction though you are confusing Khan with Kahn. There is a difference.

Yes I agree. I was thinking the exact same thing when I was reading it.

I can second this. It is one of those documentaries that you need to see at least once before you die. Very informative.

Well written! The simple bugs that it seems to detect are fairly high frequency so it should therefore improve overall code quality. Looking forward to playing around with this in my spare time.

Who linked this piece of crap and why is at the top? Utter nonsense! Whoever shared this, please consider opra winfrey websites or others of those sort.
