While this is much, much better than what the (german) media has on this, I still miss the one thing I would really want: To actually know what this means for the people living near the plant, or just somewhere in Japan. Will everyone livin

I like the idea, but it is somewhat sexist. How about something more neutral, like a litter of kittens that gets larger as your password grows?

This has to be satire. "Making iPods is better than giving to charity." "Making iPods is more important than caring for your children." "I want to be a pescetarian just because Steve is one." "He stole from his partner, no problem though. H

I am really passionate about this topic. I am double majoring in Japanese studies and CompSci and try to mix the two as best as I can. I wrote a web app for collaborative translation of classical Japanese texts for one my courses and it was

As Ruby instance variables are private, you need a getter to read them. Doing it this way (making everything private, but giving you simple methods for creating getters and setters) gives you the best of both worlds: Encapsulation and simpl

I love OpenID and use it as much as possible. The only problem I have with it is the URL-as-username approach it takes. When a site asks me for the URL, I don't use OpenID as I always forget it. If the site asks me to "log in with Google us

Well, one problem is that these two different concepts of enlightenment have the same name in English. This is not always the case in other languages.

I have Galaxy S I9000 (european version) and installed a custom rom on it a few days ago. It was not that hard, at least not much harder than installing roms on my G1. You just root the device by flashing some special kernel, then put some

Formatting an ebook for the Kindle is not something automatic. This is real work. If someone does this for me and then charges me 99 cent for "Pride and Prejudice", I have nothing against it.

I don't think this is that much of a problem. If I want to use a modern library, I just type "gem install whatever" and I have the new library. Documentation for the stdlib is not really better or easier to find than that for third party li

If you still have the time, it would be great if you could take a look at wadokukogo.heroku.com (for example: http://wadokukogo.heroku.com/search?q=aka ). It's a classical japanese - german online dictionary, and I don't really have a good

"Web frameworks are enabling a whole generation who can't even use a scripting language without relying on plenty of magic." I don't really think people program like this. When I tried using rails 2 years ago, all the magic it was doing beh

This is interesting for its definition of "simple". While it is built from only simple building blocks, it is written in a way that I find very hard to read. It's easy to follow with the comments, but without them, would you be able to quic

I don't think agnosticism can really be called reasonable anymore. We now know so much about the universe that believing in any specific deity, or even just a general sense of the supernatural, seems akin to believing into Russel's teapot.

Why is this a big security problem? This is a privacy problem, for sure, but how could you use it to breach security?

This. Let's say you had free will. In most definitions, this means you can do what you want, without being forced by anything. But are you really free in your choices? You still can not decide against anything you want. Your mind (or soul,

If I remember correctly, any proof of P = NP would be have to be constructive, so it would immediately give us a fast algorithm for ALL NP-complete problems, as they can all be reduced to each other.

The Archos tablet is the same as the Rockchip aPad that is known under many names: iWeb, iRobot, etc. I am doing a sort-of custom rom for the device and it's really hard to do without the sources. I don't really understand the chinese compa
