Indeed, that is what has been being done now, by humans, for tens of thousands of years.

I think we don't acknowledge just how much of the Human Hive Mind we already have. I mean, there are individual humans: and then there is humanity. In between, many, many hives and collectives and corporations and aggregates, and so

There were a couple of SGI Indy laptop prototypes in the works too, but I guess they didn't go anywhere. But .. just imagine this, all you althist'ers: what if SGI had been the one to release the tiBook, instead of Apple, and for

I probably ratched up 100 hours or more on F-117 Steal Bomber, for DOS, back in the day. There is no reason not to play it even now, still today: consider the pixelation more of a consequence of "HUD"/"IFR" and be

Upon reading of RWR and its delights, at least one part of me, the techno-dweeb, goes "weeeh!" .. Another part, more of a hippy tree-hugger, goes "wish we were using this to figure out where to drop the water/medicine&#x

It's a little bit of the spirit of The Well, and some USENET/BBS to boot. I think this is really missing from the modern web, so I cheer you on! It is a toast-worthy activity, your little blip on the horizon ..

>>>Mercedes, BMW, Cadillac, Volkswagen, Ford, etc. already have that. So? None of these manufacturers have a carbon-friendly drive train. The fact that Tesla added a software feature "late in the game" is no 'bonus

I'm still yet to find an actual use for the thing, regardless of constraints/limitations. The fact is, until we have a use of the hardware which allows average-person to gain some advantage, we have little progress. Can I check f

MOAI - its a fantastic framework for all kinds of things, but it always needs more documentation: http://getmoai.com/ I'm willing to help you learn the framework so you can write the docs.

The Popcorn sound was as ubiquitous in 70's synth music as the DX Bass sound was in 80's music, as the Pizzo sound was in the 90's, and so on .. each generation has their favourite factory preset. ;)

Daft Punk are the new kids on the block. Why should they be mentioned in this article, in particular? They use factory presets (canned sounds) and derivative riffs - in fact, its difficult to see, as a seasoned synthesist, just why anyone

On the flip side, you have DSP-based manufacturers of synthesizers who are selling their products for >$2.5k, whereas the true cost is really more like $300. The synthesizer world is just as prone to the economies of luxury and privileg

I think Corvettes were used for some sort of on-runway operations involving planes and whatnot - maybe as a chase vehicle for some planes with landing-gear issues, or something like that.. I can't remember the details, but I do remembe

Great work! Thanks for open sourcing this - its very educational. At the moment I'm using it to process a few hundred gigs of song files that I've collected as a big furry hairball of a mess over the years - something about havin

I think the problem is more that there is a large segment of the British populace who actually want this policing to occur, and thats why its happening. To some segments of British society, there is nothing more abhorrent than someone tr

GoboLinux for the win! http://gobolinux.org/ Oh .. wait. Its dead. What a shame. Well, maybe its time to revive it - or at least, its concept of packages - so that we can solve this problem.

This is one of the advantages gained by using a non-native toolkit to develop for these platforms. My platform of choice (MOAI) is Lua-based, and in my development environment I can treat all of the hosts that it runs on - Windows, Linux,

Europe is a big place, which is why its disappointing that Stripe doesn't cover a majority of the EU region .. yet .. but you are mistaken in thinking that credit card use is as common as it in the US - in fact, its not the case. Di

The problem is the 'accepting payments' that you refer to is 'paying by credit card' - where this is usually universally possible - but if you don't have a credit card and want instead to pay with cash by linking yo

Not supported all over Europe, so its a pretty nasty dissection of my market. Not everyone uses credit cards these days, and fewer and fewer folks are as willing to just hand over such details as they used to .. Paypal has better European-

I'm in Europe, where Stripe support is quite spotty, and also I don't want to expose my credit card/customer credit cards to yet another 3rd party. Paypal is the #1 payment method chosen by my customers, so that is important

Hi! Nice product, I'd like to upgrade. But I don't want to use Stripe. Any plans to use something else - btc/paypal - as a payment method in the future? I really like the idea - put the LuaVM to great use handling this and
