Well, even if we only save one child from being raped, molested or killed by a Dave, isn't calling uncle Daves creepy worth it? (/sarcasm)
At first I thought you meant "use 'ipconfig' instead" and I was like, "Whaaaaat?!". Then I checked the man page for "ip". Thank you. It looks rather useful. I don't mess with routing or devices too much but I have in…
> That's really genius, pun intended Sorry that this is off topic, but thank you for saying "pun intended". It sometimes saddens me when people try to cover up a perfectly good pun or act like they are above being…
Yes. My problem is very similar. Sometimes its because I think I'm stupid, but sometimes I'm almost afraid to start (because I'm worried about failing) or the task just seems too large. Maybe my approach has too many…
Wow, this looks really great. Sounds like there is currently a 50 year limit on copyright. I found a bunch of works I haven't read by Akutagawa Ryunosuke that are public domain. Thank you so much!
> “The home-made e-book market will continue to exist as long as the copyright situation isn’t dealt with and people cannot find books they want in electronic format" Sorry this is a bit unrelated, but out of…
Plus, you are _charging_ them to collect the intelligence for you!
I don't know the actual statistics, but I heard that nearly everyone from my high school went to college after graduating. Even though I got good grades, I was actually a bit of a slacker myself in high school; mostly…
I don't know if GMail itself is "research", but I'm sure there is definitely a lot of systems research going on behind the scenes. I don't know that they use it for GMail, but the Google File System paper was…
Also seems odd that there were no collaborations or internships with businesses. People in my lab have interned in research labs at IBM, AT&T, and Telefonica. Additionally, we've worked on projects with people from…
I came across this when I was applying to programs. I thought it was pretty useful, especially the section on recommendation letters. It helped me decide what professors to ask for recommendations and how to do it. I…
As a graduate student looking to learn LaTeX, I'm curious if you know of any decent first references? I've had to work in it before and learned enough to get by, but am looking to learn more.
Mighty mouse had middle click support; you just click with your finger on the scrolling ball. Not great but you could program what to do with this button. Unfortunately the Macbook trackpad doesn't have middle click…
FTA, those are the two things that don't seem to be improved. "Application results were much more impressive. Because the drive learns, the first time you bring up an app it happens at disk speed. But the 2nd time!"…
Couldn't these huge speed ups be do to caching or space in inactive memory? For example, you may quit Word or Final Cut, but if nothing else is grabbing for memory aren't a lot of the needed libraries sitting there? I…
I completely agree with you, but I just wanted to point out that the idiocy is all over the place (found in the wikipedia discussion): "A prominent Iranian newspaper says it is going to hold a competition for cartoons…
Honestly I'm a little disappointed they didn't check the manual pages for any of these commands. In case it wasn't clear... (e.g. man grep, man touch, man fsck, man mount, etc.)
I completely agree. My university required you to change your password every 90 days. Not such a bad idea, however, they compare your new password against all previous passwords to make sure they are significantly…
You want your programmers to be terribly self-contradictory? (from someone that had to read 'Hagakure' last year)
I had used Papers for a couple years off and on. I really thought it was worth the money, but after I discovered Mendeley, I found it more useful. The built in synchronization of Mendeley works better than using Papers…
