Doesn't it already have a score-sharing feature? My nightmare earlier was the addition of IAP to decrease the difficulty ever-so-slightly; combined with score oneupmanship, that would probably lead to the end of civilisation as we know it.

My work laptop stays at work.
At home, I have one windows machine, with steam and nothing else.

Youtube, movies, articles, pdf-s, music ... all in my nexus7.

I stilll even use my kindle for reading longer texts (20+ pages)

Maybe the reason for all this, is that I am still in love with my nokia 3720c dumbphone :P Battery on standby for a week, water, dust and shock resistant.

So in general, you are probably right, for most people in the near future, smart-phone will be their primary personal computing device and laptop their work-horse.

But there will be people like me, wanting to have their computing capabilities more fine-grained.

The European Parliament has neither serious power nor a mandate. Most voters don't bother to show up. It's a circus act, not a congress of people's representatives.

In fact, it's very existence doesn't have a mandate. We never agreed to surrender our national sovereignty to a European government.

When the people in my country where asked in the only major referendum ever held in our history, our answer was a loud and clear "no". The EU has zero democratic legitimacy.

9 Simple Ways To Increase Conversions On Your Landing Pages
Where I live at least, nearly everyone has a wireless router, which hardware-wise should have no trouble talking to other wireless routers in nearby buildings. Often, there are even multiple wireless routers in the same building, which can't talk to each other except through the ISPs, which I find quite ridiculous.

So, in urban areas of the US at least, it really is just a matter of software.

Of course, a large scale wireless mesh network would probably be somewhat lacking in terms of performance, but we also still have wired connections to ISPs and could start setting up wired connections to each other. Peering with your neighbor (wirelessly or not) to share idle bandwidth shouldn't make things any slower than they already are...

The problem of course is that everyone would have to use a compatible mesh protocol. There are several options for a mesh network protocol now, but I don't know of any that scales well while remaining decentralized. Even if someone did come up with a good protocol now, considering how long the switch to IPv6 has been taking, I wouldn't expect any switch away from IPv4 to happen very soon.

Agree. I keep telling that container may provide some benefits but its really not security (especially docker which uses LXC which is still not complete und as you said uses a shared kernel - one plus point is Ubuntu's combination with AppArmor which mitigates certain attacks but configuring AppArmor is itself often overseen. Other distros are worse).

If you want to secure one app from another, just use separate hardware.
Well sure. But when you start using services that require some kind of G+ opt-in then all of a sudden my Google account has a presence in Google Plus land - which is something I may not want my employees to have associated with their Google Apps accounts.
During my time studying IT I learned that there is just 1 way to learn how to code(at least for me) and it is "Writing Code". There was no prof who could teach me coding, but they showed me the baselines(how a OS works, what OOP is, what UML is and so on). But coding for real I learned because I was parttime working as a Developer for a company that gave me a chance and time. That's why I think you shouldnt teach coding in schools you should explain them how computers work, which technologies are involved and so on.
The accident that killed me
There's a pretty big difference (legally and ethically) between making a game that has similar mechanics to another game and just outright ripping out graphic assets to place in your own game.

Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak Thinks Apple Should Make an Android Phone
The problem with your reasoning is that you neglect the fact, as do almost all humans in technological societies, that easily 90% of the energy we consume is wasted. You are not to blame; when you have no firsthand experience of a thing, it is normal for one to be oblivious to its existence.

I have lived for many years within the energy budget provided by photovoltaics and the wind. It is possible to live well under such circumstances, and to be as technological as a city dweller, but first you have to eliminate the waste.

Take, for example, your houses and apartment buildings. They are so poorly constructed that the planet would be considerably better off, despite the waste, if we tore down every single last one of them and rebuilt them for longevity and energy efficiency.

A few buildings (maybe three in a city of 5 million people) are constructed well. They use (at the moment) ICF techniques and they are so well insulated that, even in the coldest days of January, the heating system can fail completely for over three days BEFORE ANYONE NOTICES that it is broken. They can use geothermal heating exclusively both winter and summer and provide complete comfort for 10% of the normal cost.

But you do not build your stuctures like this because energy efficiency is not a priority; money is the priority. The scumbag builders build shit buildings to maximize their profits; the scumbag realtors sell units to the ignorant masses for a fortune, and nothing changes.

What is wrong with humanity is that we are just too fucking stupid and far too much in love with ourselves to do the reasonable thing. We are crazy for money and it has become the arbiter of all success. Instead of killing off 90% of the species, we could begin by simply eliminating the 90% of our activity that is wilfully wasted and continue to live well, so long as the reduction in resource usage was not simply an excuse to increase our already ridiculous numbers.

So that is my alternative: stop being monsters. Otherwise I cast my vote for us all to die of a virus incubated in the backstreets of Shenzhen, and good riddance.

Travelled Europe (25 countries) by car two summers ago. There are many "European Union" countries way behind Turkey at pretty much everything.

My conclusion was that it was very clear that the only reason Turkey was not included in EU was because it is not Christian. That's a perfectly fine choice if that's what EU chooses to be, but they should face the truth about themselves.

Why would the FDIC need a $50b fund, if it's backed by "the full faith and credit" of the US?

They wouldn't need any funds at all. Whenever they needed money, they'd just ask the Fed.

> The price-setting robot sets its price far enough above that of the other vendor that if someone buys, the robot-owner can buy the book from the other vendor, send it to the customer, and still make money.

Yes, this is what book arbitrage is, I hope I'm aware of the concept! It's what I did for a few years.

> To make money - out of nothing except a listing - only requires a buyer, either misguided, malicious or unfortunate.

Or none of the above! If they buy it on Amazon for $10, but it was only $5 on AbeBooks, and they never would have found it there, they're a perfectly happy customer.

> There it is, a bet on the complement of "almost always", at an insignificant cost.

I'm suggesting that, as a person with several years professional experience doing so, nobody makes money on Amazon by being anything except the lowest-priced used book available.

I'm further suggesting that the bot wars that happen (often!) are negative feedback loops, causing prices to drop, not the other way around, and he has provided neither examples nor a reasonable explanation of why bots would fight to be lower on the list.

Being first on the list of used books is everything when selling on Amazon, and if there are bots going the opposite way, they won't last long. Low cost ≠ free.
It's not so simple in this case.

If you were to start a hangout via Gmail from your Google Apps account, you get a dumbed down version that doesn't support features like screensharing and up to 15 people.

You would need to use an account that has G+ connected and start the hangout from the hangouts app or from G+. So I think yes, you would need a G+ account to use this unless Google changes that.

You actually said "you", and extending that to "average person" is in no way a strange interpretation.
First of all, that's a pretty big accusation to level at someone on public record: are you 100% certain that the graphic assets have been lifted pixel-for-pixel? Second, I agree with you on the legal point: it's much easier to 'protect' visual assets than it is a game mechanic. However, I dispute the fact that ripping off someone's game mechanics is, somehow, more ethical; in both cases, you're simply copying someone else's work and passing it off as your own. Just because one is easier to define, and therefore protect, in law, doesn't mean they're not both pretty nasty ways of operating.
It even includes the domain, which I think is redundant.
I downloaded the editor about two weeks ago. It's fun and easy to use. My only criticism is of the live editing feature.

That's what drew me to the editor in the first place, but it seems to be very buggy. It stops updating the preview sporadically — and predictably, each time I open the JS Console.

As a front-end dev, I can't really count on a preview that doesn't function with developer tools open.

Having said all that, I understand that Brackets is relatively new, and it takes time to iron things out. I will keep up-to-date with their progress and consider using the service in the future.

And if we're talking about the cost in cycles of the operations for jump versus compare, shouldn't we also then consider the cost of the calculation of the pivot points?

I haven't done assembly language in a couple of decades, but it seems to me that the cost of calculating the traditional pivot point will be rather cheaper than that for the dual pivots.

At least back in the day, a division by two was a trivial operation (arithmetic shift right by 1), whereas the division by three would require an actual calculation: not a big deal, but more expensive than the ASR.
You sir, speak nothing but the truth.
Its a case of too late.

Sony Fit E15 was a good machine at a good price. But by the time Sony began making these lower cost machines, they already solidified the "too expensive" mindset.

People probably didn't even realize that Sony had a ~$500 line of laptops (which, when upgraded to "reasonable" specs, would be closer to $750 or $800 of course... but that is a reasonably priced laptop)

Big data is also a moving target.

We can look at size and we can look at rate (read or write).

One size classification is: data we can store in memory vs. on drive. I wouldn't refer to anything <64GB as "big" data. If you can store it on one machine it probably shouldn't be considered big from a size perspective (so let's say 4TB as some sort of threshold).

More generally, if you need more than a single server to store or do real-time processing of your data I'd say it qualifies as big. Otherwise probably not.

Another factor a lot of people often don't look at is efficiency. Yes, if everything is a JSON string with a lot of static annotations we can make a small amount of data look very big. You need to look at a more information theoretic "size". This often applies to processing... Yes, you can spend many CPU cycles parsing incoming HTTP requests but that doesn't mean the data is inherently big.

Using Computer Vision to Increase the Research Potential of Photo Archives
This type of result is why the buzz (at least in academic circles) about the value of "computational research" as a "third pillar" of research is wrong-headed. Running computer simulations is a great way to compare theory to real-world data or to extrapolate out the implications of a particular theoretical idea, but it's still just another tool of theoretical research, and not a separate type of research in and of itself. The computational results are only as good as the model, which is all theory.

With enough of a screen, text editing is not bad either. I didn't realize how terribly I wanted a touch screen for work until I worked with excel on a touch screen with a keyboard. It was unbelievably fast. With my left hand I could poke cells, the equation and scream around doing that. Meanwhile, my right hand was typing letters and numbers. It was like the first time I heard the Beatles. I was laughing to myself while working on the departmental budget.

It was so good that I sit at my desk at work now and just grump at the damned stupid screen.

Actually, the game mechanic is deceptively different.

It looks and feels like those previous helicopter games where you hold to accelerate up. But it's very different, in that, you top to give the bird a sudden impulse. This is much harder to control with precision.

That's where it's addictive nature comes from... It's deceptive as in "oh I know how to play this kind of game, I can do this!" but in reality it's way more difficult that you estimate it to be.
