These "features" clearly spell out the author's priorities: - free software - multiple languages and keyboard layouts - interpreted language for lessons There is no mention of teaching methods, kid-friendliness, or any other feature that on

On second thought, I can't find any other sources on this story. If VUPEN can keep it quiet then it's not as much of a problem.

Wow! If VUPEN's "product" has been leaked, then it's not worth as much to their clients. I wonder if they'll disclose the whole lot and go looking for more 0day?

I would have done much better if I could type 1a2a3a to send groups of marines. :)

My priorities must be backwards. I'm almost as appalled that the app comes with an "Energy" meter that is fueled by 99-cent in-app purchases.

It's a proper use of "intellectual property", but they're not talking about movies and books.

I would be interested to see if this works at all here in Baltimore.

I wondered who the man with the clipboard was, micro-managing every step of the process.

I was surprised to learn that Facebook has a "3 trusted friends" method for recovering your account without the original email or security question response. EDIT: tried to find a better source for that, came up with https://www.facebook.c

I would expect an increase in SSDs, especially since they are a "substitute good" for HDDs. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitute_good

I never realized that files uploaded to Virustotal are shared with the AV vendors, but that makes a good deal of sense.

Has it fallen down already? The rest of codeschool.com works but I get an "Application Error" when I go to Try Ruby.

The technology looks interesting, but it looks like Amazon gets to track all web surfing that you do on the Kindle Fire?

Since "Google" has become its own verb, it makes sense that few people link to google.com with the word "Search".

My wardrobe consists mostly of geeky T-shirts, from cons or the Internet. I hate shopping in malls. I'll be thrilled if this service works as advertised!

I can't overstate how useful Cscope is for large C projects. With a couple keystrokes, you can do searches like: - Where is this symbol defined? - Where is this function called? - Where is this variable referenced? Assigned? It's the one pl

slashdot.org gives you fortune output in an "X-Fry" header, much like the site itself. EDIT: on second look, they're Futurama quotes. That explains why "X-Fry" changed to "X-Bender" when I went back!

For comedy value, there should be a follow-up article involving the "Casual Encounters" section of Craigslist. 2600 magazine recently had an article about a Bayesian filter for getting the spam out of the "w4m" section. A human could weed o
