Your idea sounds like an automatic version of SuperGenPass: http://supergenpass.com I've been running it for years, which feels quite nice when sites start leaking passwords left and right.

I have used that exact Wake-Up light model for about a year. It has had a marginal effect, in that I wake "naturally" (before the sound alarm goes off) about 1 night in 20. As a simple source of bright light, it performs as you wo

"You teach them." Well, no. You set up a framework of information and activities which allows the individual to learn. It could be beneficial to adopt this view, prominent in education, for software documentation as well. (The art

Everything in your comment really resonates with me—except I feel mostly powerless on getting to the second state. It either happens or it doesn't. I can easily recognize the down periods, but like segmondy, I can't (or won't

You just described the core of the analogy: experience. There are many cases where I and others choose much more expensive applications to which there are fine inexpensive (or free) alternatives. Just knowing the amount of “unnecessary” des

As a data point, 15 percent of Swedish university funds come from private donations [1]. That's supposed to be equal to the US, though I imagine that other types of educational institutions get considerably less in Sweden. [1]: http://www.

While 4G isn't available here, I was at least happy to see 15 mbps reliably on 3G. For my typical use case, e.g. checking tweets and casual browsing, I don't miss a better connection. (For tethering it sure would be nice, though.)

I've just left a workshop at our CS department, where we discussed new and old issues with teaching programming. Tutorials and assignment, based on completely made up cases and requirements, are still very much at the core of introductory p

I can't decide if I like it or not, but one commenter really takes the opportunity to promote his website: > I believe "crowdsourcing" is the future of how we'll tap into and retrieve much of the information we desire, in real-time. We

After about two weeks of usage: It seems to work very well, at least in the sense that my movements are registered correctly. I would estimate that it causes a noticeable difference waking up about 1/3 of the time.

The rant on Lifehacker just about sums up my feelings: http://lifehacker.com/5336382/digsby-joins-the-dark-side-use... "Optional" crapware in the installer just takes advantage of the fact that most people just click through. It's bad and
