I don't have much choice for the project I'm on at the moment, we've standardised on Eclipse, but I'll give it a look in the future. Thanks.

Having used Eclipse for 6 weeks now I still despise it. Give me Visual Studio any day.

I don't feel like you're comparing like with like here. TC, HuffPo, Drudge, etc are all content providers/aggregators. Newstilt on the other hand were going to provide services and software to journalists of which it seems aggregation was o

No, but (s)he does seem to be of the opinion that they shouldn't be trying to solve this one: "I just wish people stop thinking that journalism is a technology problem.It doesn't matter how good your platform is." Maybe that's true. Maybe t

"This hacker culture of thinking everything can be solved with guru developer skills needs to stop." Why? I don't see a downside to self-assuredness, even downright arrogance, when it comes to tackling problems. Sure, maybe every problem ca

Hilarious. The equivalent of someone putting "amazing attention to detial" on their resume.

I was at the talk. He didn't claim he cracked GSM and went over the history of the development of A5 attacks. He explained that their work is the first time the data necessary to crack A5 has been made public. This work is important because

Interesting that this was posted shortly after the discussion about developing on handhelds prompted by RFS5. The hardware used by the MIT system, excluding the projector, is mostly provided by mobile devices these days anyway. There could

I don't know much about stock markets, but I did a consulting gig for a large currency trading company a while back where I was doing a bit of work on their algorithmic trading platform. I learned that unless you are trading at least a mill

To be fair to the chap he did do without money more than most. If his ideal is to absolutely avoid the use of money then he was significantly closer to that ideal than most.

I think you're getting too hung up on the title. The point of the article is not that all web developers can't code, but rather that often they cannot and do not value the skills of people who can. If anything the title does a pretty good j

With enough money to live on for a few years he's hardly a beggar.

Your attitude here is very naive. Did it occur to you that perhaps he doesn't want to live in Central or South America? Sure living expenses are cheaper there, but the fact would remain that he's still unemployed. Now in addition to that he

The trip to the store seems to be a reference to the plans he has each day, that is he has nothing he has to do each day that will get him out of his flat. On the other hand at the end of the article it mentions that he's written a book,

His idea is ridiculous. If I were to put money in a bank like this it would cost me, because I'm not getting the interest another bank would pay me and inflation would devalue my balance every day it sits there. That's not "safe" for the cu

The goal was apparently not to "cut their food budget" or save money at all, but merely to challenge themselves. From http://onedollardietproject.wordpress.com/2008/09/01/it-star... "When we first started talking about doing this, we didn

"TC faces no such risk and can publish anything it damn well likes without having to estimate the value to the public interest of its actions" Isn't that a consequence of free speech?

It would seem to me that you are effectively treating society as this single entity and saying that so long as an action benefits that entity then it is moral even if the action itself would be considered immoral in another scenario. Howeve

In other words, because in the case of Techcrunch the end doesn't justify the means it's immoral?

The initial chance of survival, after hearing that there is a chance, (for Prisoner A) is 1/3, since any one prisoner dies out of three. If he now knows, after consulting with the guard, that Prisoner B is sure to die that means that it's d

What happens to shares when people stop contributing? Are they recycled? If not then how do you deal with the possible eventuality that there will be no more shares to award? Printing more on the other hand means this would be a currency, n

I don't like it either. If you want to be notified about version releases go to Freshmeat. This isn't even a proper release. It's the first release candidate. Are we going to see a post like this for subsequent release candidates? Ah well,
