I'm fairly western, and my friends and I got the subtext pretty immediately. All you really needed to know was that it's his 6th album, everything else falls out from that given the absurdity and callbacks in the video. The song/video is fa

Absolutely agree. So much good stuff there. I can't even begin to name home many times I've referenced articles there.

Pay by name would be terrible for me, I have a very French name, and no Starbucks barista around here speaks enough French which means I have to spend quite a while spelling out my name for them. I've taken to just telling them my name is "

NET SEND is pretty fun, my project for my operating systems class in university was to write a firewall driver/accompanying program that would silently log all these messages to disk and flash the tray icon. My high school had a security pr

Speaking specifically of computer science programs, in eastern Canada (mostly Quebec and Ontario), there's a computer science contest called the CS Games. It's mostly just for fun and networking, but it's interesting to see where different

Maybe add a "safe search" option for the pictures? Definitely got some NSFW pictures when I was searching for yoyos. (World competition is in a few days, wanted to see the trends.)

If you look to the right of most of the google scholar links is another link that says "PDF at <site>" and you can download it from there. Very useful.

Sadly, a lot of speed limits aren't set according to government standard 85th percentile, and local governments are easily swayed to lower speed limits just with a few letters from citizens, no study needed. That's when you get things like

It helps with startup time. It's not that it produces worse code, it's that there's multiple levels of compilation. It stores the equivalent of -O1 on disk, and eventually some of the code can ramp up to -O3+. This is almost entirely to hel

Funny you should bring up the Phantom. This thing reminds me so very much of the phantom. I remember trying to buy a Phantom dev kit and just being told that they're "coming soon" for ages. Then they came out with the Phantom lapboard, and

That "JIT cache" you're talking about already exists. It's known as AOT, or "Ahead of Time" compilation. I forget how you enable it, but it's there.

A friend had an N810, inspired me to buy an N900. Still can't find a phone that matches all its features. There's something to be said for using a 3270 terminal emulator over VPN on my phone.

That's interesting, I've always wanted to do something like that and never really figured out how. Mind giving details? Or if you'd rather not do it here, just send me an email, it's my username at gmail.

If it ran Linux, I'd be all over it, but with Android, I'd much rather just use a smartphone or a tablet. It's essentially a tablet without a touchscreen as-is.
