You'll be able to rent these in tourist shops. I'd wager flying around by yourself gets old after a while anyway, no matter how awesome this seems. Remember your first RC helicopter? How long did you keep playing with it?

You could learn it well enough to answer interview questions on it. I have my copy of CLRS here and none of the first 15 chapters are exceptionally dense.

This seems... really simple. Basic algorithms, data structures, and theory that I learned in second-year comp sci. Knowledge on these subjects is easy to pick up, taking you a few days of study at the most. Knowing this stuff doesn't mean y

One S2050 has four M2050s, not two (I inferred this assumption from your 6.5 multiple). I'd like more information on the CPUs and CPU/GPU bus of this FASTRA II. CPUs are really gaining back a lot of their performance relative to GPUs - an M

As long as we're nitpicking, you are using "it's" incorrectly. "It's" is not the possessive form of "it", it is a contraction of "it is". The word you are looking for is "its". Usually doesn't annoy too much but you do this twice in the fir

I've found that prepaid credit cards work well as gift cards without the restrictions.

On the other side, I really wish my office were like this. I hate having to sit down all day - my back really does start to hurt. I have a stand-up desk at home and I like it much better. Even better than a stand-up desk is having a small t

To find optical flow, you first pick out a collection of sample points in frame A. What constitutes a good sample point depends on your specific algorithm, although generally speaking you pick "corners". In OpenCV, you can easily do this by

Oh thank goodness! It's all the women's fault. I was afraid people would have to address the residual sexism left in the corporate world. Not to detract from the story, which by all anecdotal evidence in this thread appears to be valid, but

It's actually kinda crazy that I looked at this image http://images2.bingocardcreator.com/blog-images/ad-blending/... for about thirty seconds and literally did not see the ad, at all. I am now impressed/scared of my mind's ability to com

Frick, I semi-stole your username. Gotta find myself another I guess.

Okay. I'll try and explain why you're being downvoted. Every time someone wealthy donates a whole lot of money to a philanthropic cause, people like you pop up in the comment section. "Oh it doesn't matter, it's only X% of his net worth, th

Cheap shot. You can't win with this one. You know what would happen if they described the product in a vacuum? The top comment on the HN thread would be "Basically, it's like an X for Y."

I think there's more of a balance to be struck here. It's true people can be thrown for an emotional loop by their lives outside of work, and to persecute them for that will just make it worse. On the other hand, I have personally found tha

The throwaway paragraph about fashion holds much truth, I have found. I decided a year ago to learn how that stuff works. I can't even begin to list the benefits that come with it - it isn't only women that like you more, but men are more l

I can't claim to speak for the designers or anything, but that strikes me as going against the philosophy of the site in a way.

Cool! I was just trying to keep track in some spreadsheet that lives on my laptop, but this is much better. The use of Gravatar is also a nice touch. I am unfortunately not knowledgeable on the issues that come with enabling https on a webs

Brilliant book, picked it up not long ago. So far, my favorite thing I have learned is on page 14 - the snoob function. Snoob stands for "same number of one bits". Essentially, if x is an integer whose binary representation contains n one-b
