Personally, I work out while watching movies, so if you plan on spending some time watching movies outside of a theater, this ends up taking almost zero additional seconds. I mean, I still need to take a shower, but the majority of the time can come out of the entertainment budget.

I personally enjoy embarrassingly stupid action movies, and I think that running (or elipticaling or pedaling or stair climbing or rowing) while watching both improves the enjoyment of the steroid-fueled cheesefest and the enjoyment of the exercise.

On the other hand, I'm still fat, so maybe I'm doing it wrong. Most likely, though, it's just that I've only been at it a few months and I'm still not eating right.
I agree that they might have been just been trying to help, but it's important accept that you might have limited knowledge of something when giving people advice, especially medical advice.

My doctor has prescribed medication that has done a good job of treating the illness so I haven't had to seek alternative remedies.

Small is not quite exact. MacPorts has 8,000+ ports. Homebrew has 1600+ formulae but this is an awful metric due to the distributed nature of its development (2000+ forks, with some very specialized) and it is barely two years old!

In my experience these types of pitches are bad because:

1) The students don't take them as seriously as real businesses.

2) The faculty place requirements on what a pitch should look like.

When I was in school, I wrote horrible, 25 page business plans and the equally horrible slide deck as part of a new venture class. We knew it was shit when we presented it. As a result, you see serious teams literally doubling their efforts. They do one thing for class, and another for real life. (Well, maybe not doubling - real life is much less work.)

This sounds stupid, and to a degree it is. BUT - if you write these monstrous business plans and orchestrated piches, you will learn a thing or two about what works, what doesn't, what is required, what isn't, and what falls flat or gets ignored.

While I won't claim it's 100% intentional, there is at least some method to the madness.

> that's a godsend.

You're saying that if the problem disappeared tomorrow, people would suddenly become more serious about combating global warming? Pardon the pun, but what on Earth makes you believe that?

I don't think an ice age is really imminent, but its occurrence would be a outright calamity. We'd continue merrily down the present course, and be seventy years more fucked when the pendulum came swinging back.
I beg to differ: the best available science does NOT predict global warming. GW is predicted by a bunch of 3rd rate bullshit artists. Please use the internet and get a clue.

Please never ask, "Do you mind if I pray for you?" I can't tell you how offensive I find that, and how difficult I find to answer it without being offensive in return.

"I'll pray for you" is okay, I guess, but don't expect a thank-you.
I can't speak for the other advice you're seeing, but the article isn't really suggesting that you can go to the adwords tool with a blank slate and find a market. Rather that you can use the adwords tool to validate that a market exists based on search volume.
I'm with you: my use of Color is nearly non-existent, due to the apparent non-exisence of any other users, at least in the Center City Philadelphia area. Is this a foreseen and accounted-for part of the Color Master Plan? [Shrug.]

An app that I actually find mildly useful is Sonar. I can browse around local places and see if anyone has recently checked in. And then, if anyone has, I can see if I'm somehow connected to them. Or if they seem interesting. I haven't yet decided to get off my butt and go to a specific location because of Sonar, but I can imagine doing so.

So it's not like you can't make at least mildly compelling, useful apps in this space. Color just doesn't seem like one.

Great, now we can have even more "illegal math".
Agreed! Some of my favorite vegetables (spicy peppers) have long growing seasons of 100+ days. If winter starts lasting longer, then those vegetables can no longer be grown in high latitudes/altitudes.
Microsoft BizSpark is definitely genuinely concerned about the European startup ecology and education system, and Microsoft itself is large enough that the only way for it to grow/sustain sales is by growing the market as a whole, so yes, the European chairman definitely cares about the European economy and education system. Any big-company executive does.

The whole point of capitalism is that it's both self-serving and public good.
This is a compromise in security, and it should be seen in the context of the application/domain. I don't think it would fly in the medical or financial world.

I was wondering, what the fuss was all about...
Then I opened it in Safari, and yes, it's very impressive.
Where is the link to the announcement by the scientists that the author talks about? I'd be curious to read it and make up my own mind.
Thanks for the links, they were very interesting.

I did basic trigonometry, and came up with an estimate of about 50 pixels accuracy using a high-res, 3rd party webcam. That's why I doubt claims about built-in webcams, since they're typically pretty low resolution.

Your first link mentions an accuracy of around 70 pixels on a MacBook Pro, which is impressive but doesn't strike me as impossible (assuming FaceTime HD camera, which is 1280x720, I believe).
Everything from that blog is interesting, do you or anyone else got any suggestions for similar blogs?
And things are continuing to change, too. More and more FPGAs and CPLDs are showing up in end user electronics - our hardware is becoming software.

Either you can go the Microsoft route and
be backwards compatible til the end of time

You probably never went with Microsoft to say that.

Yes, they are shipping the DLLs till the end of time, but you can also find the source code to Rails 2.3 till the end of time (it's right there, in your face), just as you can find the source code of Linux 0.01 (the initial release).

On the other hand, what's the latest recommended path for building UI, the Microsoft recommended way? The Win16 API? The Win32 API? MFC? WTL? Windows Forms? WPF? Silverlight? HTML5?

Evolution happens, you need to deal with it. The only stable API I know that is still relevant and still important to learn (instead of an abstraction) is POSIX-stuff.
I'm from Austria and I mention this solely because you felt the need to mention your location. Still please take this as an opinion of one guy alone (!):

Here is what I think: Friendships are always give+take. When you are sick, you expect them to give a lot.
Did you really do so much for them while you were healthy? Because in my opinion only a sociopath wouldn't offer to help you if you had helped him greatly in the past.
Or do you rather expect them to help you because it's just what they "should" do.
And what exactly do you want them to do anyway? Just mindless visits? So you expect pity? Are you in a habit of forcing your friends through awkardness? Because I'd expect my friends to not expect me to visit them for elusive reasons like "emotional support". I would never expect a friend to visit me when I'm sick, because I know that I'll be another person. They are not friends with a guy who has pains, drools and is in agony. I wouldn't think of demanding friendship like you do.
Because of cake, I enjoy cake. Suicide is for idiots, don't do it! call a hotline.
The nice thing is that Reeder doesn't really need an informative or very user friendly website for promotion. The most important thing on that website is the link to the App Store.

Reeder already sells so well that Apple and the press do all the necessary promotion.
"should be" is actually an "is" in Germany.

The fun thing about it: the german cia equivalent "BND" lets german developers develop hacking tools via ssh or rdp on boxes that sit in other countries to circumvent that law.

I'll provide a link as soon as i find a source other than one of the hackers i know.

Personally, what I'd like to discuss is if there is any moral value that Facebook provides. Does Facebook actually benefit society? (Maybe more precisely we can ask whether Facebook fulfills an aspect of Maslow's hierarchy of needs).

I just keep hearing the word 'value' used over and over here and it frustrates me that it is so often only associated with 'business value' rather than something more morally significant.

Did you even read the article?

The aggregate confirms what you're saying - that people will look down the middle at all the half-naked people.

But look at the individual heatmaps, it seems like a not-insignificant number of people followed more text than images, some drifted all over the place, etc etc.

That's the entire point of the post I think - pointing out that aggregates can be deceiving when the distribution is not even close to uniform.

far from facing a global warming problem

We don't have a "global warming" problem. We have a manmade climate change problem, which may be worsened by the Sun's own agenda. I haven't read the Bad Astronomer's take on this, but he's a lot more trustworthy than the OP.
Couldn't agree more, and mine was "Le Mans Sunset".

How could people consistently miss a bright orange car in their mirrors?
Which life? Industrial age humans? That's who we care about. Our goal is (or at least I hope it is) to enable humans to thrive, we don't really care about other life (at least if we had to pick between humans and other life) as long as it is not instrumental to our success.
When One Teaches, Two Learn
Reading the comments on here and many other places about global warming, it makes me sad that nobody is open-minded enough to entertain the possibility that an increase in the Earth's temperature could be a positive-sum change.

We know very little about the Earth's natural cycles and the effects we have on them, so we are very far from knowing whether things are going in a good* or bad direction.

* Good for everyone involved, such as humans, animals, plants, etc.
Wasn't hard. The problems could be better explained, for example in the second one they should clarify that the binary tree is balanced and that each node is one character.

IntelliVocab for SAT 1.2 Broadens Its Functionality to Help Students Beat SAT
New York, USA - Faqden Labs announces the latest version 1.2 of IntelliVocab for SAT, an update that has incorporated users' feedback and enhanced with more useful features to help students prepare for the SAT comprehensive exam.

Being designed by students of MIT, IntelliVocab for SAT is based on the latest research from MIT allowing users to master English vocabulary in the most effective way.

IntelliVocab for SAT completely controls the learning environment, so that users do not have to plan the learning approach. All they need to do is interact. Powerful enough for advanced learners and simple enough for beginners, IntelliVocab for SAT uses latest machine learning algorithms and determines user's level - Expert or Commitment. The more practice, the more IntelliVocab learns about a user and figures out words that are difficult. It enables users to achieve the top scores in the SAT competitive exam or in your professional work.

Features:
* 600+ common words in the Lite version
* 2 levels: Expert and Commitment
* Each practice session contains custom set of words based on user's level
* Comprehensive progress report
* Play sound and antonyms for each word
* Remote sync for new words

A lot more bug fixes and performance enhancements have been done in v1.2: improved algorithm to mix up the practice words with different characters; added “Rate it” feature, added color coding to highlight the antonym questions. All these updates give the user valuable help for enriching English vocabulary using practice sections and being ready for SAT.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad device
* Requires iOS 3.0 minimum
* 17.0 MB

Pricing and Availability:
* IntelliVocab for SAT is available for free download worldwide through the Apple Store in the Education category: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/intellivocab-for-sat/id436685357?mt=8

Well we have a team of 7 building enterprise data products Clojure and have found it to be excellent.

More success stories here: http://dev.clojure.org/display/community/Clojure+Success+Sto...
I didn't know this story before reading it - great job GW.
The actual directive seems to be 14436/10 which is available here - http://register.consilium.europa.eu/pdf/en/10/st14/st14436.e...

The relevant portion is Article 7

"""
Member States shall take the necessary measure to ensure that the production, sale, procurement for use, import, possession, distribution or otherwise making available of the following is punishable as a criminal offence when committed intentionally and without right for the purpose of committing any of the offences referred to in Articles 3 to 6:

(a) device, including a computer program, designed or adapted primarily for the purpose of committing any of the offences referred to in Articles 3 to 6;

(b) a computer password, access code, or similar data by which the whole or any part of an information system is capable of being accessed.
"""

Which seems to be saying that, say, nmap isn't illegal, unless you download it with the intent to run it against a machine you're not supposed to, in which case you've broken the law (even if you never actually use it). Kind of like laws against 'burglary tools' in some parts of the US, the crime seems to be based on context/intent.

This seems more like one of those ideas which end up being a law used to slap people a second time when they are nabbed for something rather than something that would be enforced on its own.
I kind of wish they would go further. While I prefer Rspec, I understand and sympathize with those who feel Test::Unit is a better default.

But HAML feels like such a vast, unambiguous, never-going-back improvement over ERB that I am honestly baffled Rails hasn't adopted it. It's at least as big a win as Sass and CoffeeScript, if not bigger.

I agree with Katz here. If anything, Rails has shown remarkable restraint in the face of a smorgasbord of shiny, new, and often superior, competing technologies.
I know climate change is not directly related to the current temperature but wow it's strange to read this when it's currently 100 degrees here (no exaggeration) and setting new temperature records for the past few decades.

Basically what's happened is our overly aggressive industrialization has ruined the temperature stability we used to enjoy. And sadly we aren't done yet as China rushes to catch up while we blow up mountains for more coal.
This is a great book on CoffeeScript, good as a companion to the official overview at http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/.

I'm preparing a screencast on upgrading the Rails Tutorial sample application from Rails 3.0 to Rails 3.1. Maybe you'll find it useful. Subscribe to the news feed (http://news.railstutorial.org/) to be notified when it's ready.
Oh ho ho. But it might be worth distinguishing between (1) "temperatures over the last few years have been decreasing" and (2) "the longer-term trend, of which those last few years are a sample, is downwards", because #2 would mean that global warming isn't a problem after all and #1 wouldn't.

And I'm afraid the recent history of people with a very decided political agenda declining to distinguish between #1 and #2 even when the short-term trend in question consists of one slightly colder-than-average winter takes some of the fun out of your ironic wit, for me.

Love watching movies/TV shows when doing cardio, but I've found running for 45+ isn't necessarily the best way to lose weight (if that's your goal). The entrepreneurial benefits we've seen from working out are usually more about weight lifting circuits & interval training, stuff like that where there's variety to spice things up. Harder to watch movies/TV with those, though!
