This guide really shows what I think is a big problem with a lot of Node guides, they don't go beyond the first 5 minutes. There are a ton of guides on how to set up a webserver in 20 lines, but hardly any on how to (properly) handle a lot

I'm currently a student (in Holland), and I've been to a few recruitment fairs and if I were to get an email or see a flyer about another one I would probably not even read it. Most recruitment fairs are just terrible. Companies will send t

"the European system"? The systems in individual European countries are about as different from each other as any of them are different from the US system. One attempt to somewhat align the different European systems for higher education wa

According to this[1] data Honeycomb is <2% of used Android versions. With the versions that 98% of the devices run being open I'd say it's a bit more than just touting about it.. [1] http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/pla

Remember that this is done using clear full-frontal pictures, FRT drop significantly in accuracy with even the smallest change in angle. Not to mention sunglasses, (facial) hair obscuring parts of the face and different lighting conditions.

"Unsettling" might be a overstating it a bit. The first slideshow[1] explains (on slide 38, Limitations) that face recognition techniques still have a long way to go. More clearly stated on slide 39: "Face recognition of everyone/everywher

I would've loved to hear some more from Harj, he got some good questions in but it seemed to me he had a hard time actually hearing the interviewees (and vica versa). Plus Paul's enthusiasm probably didn't make it easier to get a question i

In this paper they make a pretty compelling case as to why limiting/censoring media would actually be counter-productive and make the riots worse. http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=1909467 I have yet to find any research

Seeing that the project in question is mostly aiming at NGO's and non-profits I'm assuming that 'data without borders' is not a commercial enterprise. In which case it's not uncommon to have these sorts of contests where the 'reward' is mea

Neither, making a 100% sure that every security hole is plugged takes time, and as such money. Corporations simply do not want to pay extra for this (in most cases). The Anonymous guys on the other hand do it in their free time and as such

The key element that you're missing is 'and brushed up on the fundamentals.' , nobody is saying that Skiena is the only source you should be learning and that you only need to know what is in that book. How I read recommendations like that

I have no data to back this up but anecdotally I once had a professor explain how some, if not most, professors would adjust their grading to get to a specific average for exams and essays. However we use numbers (1 till 10, 10 being best)

Interesting that the price is 4,99 USD, while in Eurozone it's 4,99 EUR. So it's actually cheaper for Americans. I know it's common for products originating in the USA (games, electronics, etc.) to make the USD -> EUR conversion 1:1 but

Because you can. I've made far more useless stuff simply because I felt it would be interesting or a challenge to make. Which in turn are usually the projects I learn the most from.

Personally I feel that you're being a bit too optimistic. LulzSec was much louder about the fact they did it for the 'lulz' rather than for any noble agenda. Encouraging people to log in to random people's FB account and ruin their relation

I wouldn't call it rudeness, it's more a habit, you might find it rude, but that is your interpretation. Holland is a really small country that survives by trading with other countries. The countries around it are all much bigger and tend t

Anon has somewhat of a cause they're fighting for, they are pretty consistent when it comes about picking targets and their motives. But despite the amount of media attention it still feels like a drop on a hotplate to me. LulzSec on the ot

When thinking of a sustainable system I like the analogy made in Cradle To Cradle[1]: the cherry tree. A cherry tree produces food for animals and any blossoms and fruit that falls on the ground nourishes the soil. It produces more than it

During the 'hunt' for Wikileaks the U.S. has subpoenaed Twitter for info about supposed supporters.[1] In the case of Lulzsec this will have very little use though, as they use VPN's to hide their IP [2]. [1] http://www.wired.com/threatlev

This is actually pretty easy to do! You can apply weights to fields, so just apply 0.0 to the username field - or that's how I did it anyway. Your entry looks very nice, cool to see others had a similar idea. :)
