This is a crowd funding campaign for an inexpensive FPGA board with a simpler HDL with an web IDE. I first heard about it at 30c3 (video links below) and I think it's a great starting point for everyone who always wanted to play around

I was thinking about this, too, when I read his name. Whereas Europeans generally pronounce his name the right way ('Nick-louse Veert'), Americans invariably mangle it into 'Nickel's Worth.' This is to say that Eur

Would you be willing to say a bit more about which country and how you got there? (My E-Mail is in my profile.) I'm currently in Switzerland, but I plan to live in Mediterranean countries other than Italy and Spain for some time in the futu

This was a very graphic and easy-to-understand explanation of indexes in general. Although I thought I understood indexes, it helped me understand secondary indexes better. Thanks for linking! Did they ever write the promised second part wh

According to a twitter answer, yes. At least with Virtual PC. (See reply to question by MrComputerRevo on http://twitter.com/#!/windevs ) Edit: Direct link: http://twitter.com/#!/windevs/status/113690827217313792 (Thank you, Simon.) B

This is a cool project. :-) It also doesn't work in Opera, because the emscripten compiled CPython doesn't work with this browser. No problems in latest stable Firefox.

Is there a dedicated graphics processor or switchable graphics in this notebook? This might explain the rather big difference in battery time since many Linux graphics drivers are not power-optimized and switchable graphics does not work. [

Please change the title. "Lulzsec suspect arrested scotland yard" implies to me that it was the suspect who arrested scotland yard, whereas the suspect was actually arrested by scotland yard. Edit: Thank you!

Did you extend Pandoc or Gitit? I would be very interested in extending/changing Pandoc slightly, but so far I got along with doing my changes with sed and writing some inline LaTeX. If you extended Pandoc, do you mind giving a pointer to y

I'm actually writing my diploma thesis using Markdown and Pandoc. Some hacking is necessary (sed is so far sufficient), but it's a lot more pleasant then writing LaTeX directly.

"intellectual property" That's a really muddy term. How exactly can you protect a protocol? Trade secret? Patents? Copyright shouldn't apply if it's a reimplementation. Edit: s/since/if/

xrandr (use "xrandr --output <output> --rotate (normal|right|left|inverted)", e.g. "xrandr --output DVI1 --rotate right") Ubuntu also has a graphical tool for this, probably also other distributions.

For X11 users, there's also redshift ( http://jonls.dk/redshift/ ). I use it when using the computer at night as it makes for easier reading.

When I read through the text, it didn't once think "this can't work". It seems plausible and if implemented, this could indeed be a big step forward. I hope this, or a similar effort, will be actually be realized.

You can read the announcement here: https://mozillalabs.com/blog/2011/02/prism-is-now-chromeless... Basically: Both can solve the same problem, but Chromeless is more powerful.

Looks like the decision to stop development of Mozilla Prism was not a bad one. "appify" looks very interesting.

For people like me, who didn't know what "Silk Road" was in this context: It's an anonymous market for drugs using Tor. [1] Bitcoins are used for paying. [1] http://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=3984.0

Many applications have both a "close" and a "quit" option. The "close" option does what you describe - they want to get rid of the "quit" option, which is used to quit an application. (Try opening two Firefox windows and you can easily see

As I understand it after reading http://quatermain.tumblr.com/post/3345687143/why-are-vendors... , there's a big difference: Canonical wants to take 75% of revenue , leaving 25% to Gnome/Banshee. Apple takes 30% of the sales price - th
