I guess contests like these intend to foster out of the box thinking. But once that very out of the box thinking surfaces every competitor cries foul, including (some) teachers. So…

I see another benefit of using fail to ban. That is, it helps a little to keep the log files (a little) shorter.

And, given that it heats water, what if it gets applied to someone in heavy rain, say with clothes soaked? Would it go so far to effectively boil the person?

I initially thought along the same lines, but not outdoors. Depending on the energy consumption, this technology might serve as a nice protection inside buildings. Like areas where…

So, pushing this thought a little further, I'd say such a (or any) deity and us have at least this one thing in common: looking in amazement at those primes.

The idea looks like what already failed on the fictional character of RoboCop - be too tame.

I disagree. Those are real people who do that kind of work. When I was looking for online work at sites like getafreelancer or rentacoder there usually were tons of job offers rega…

A school days friend of mine stopped developing at age ~17. Some very rare condition. Now he's about fourty and about to out-live his mother. However, there's no chance he'll ever …

I didn't bother to read the actual article, just responding to the headline: Did you ever look at getafreelancer.com? There are tons of jobs for captcha solving. Permanently.

I did the exact opposite--one time I came across a very cheap keyboard with the keys wobbly and floppy. Was a relief to my hands. Since then, as long as I used standalone keyboards…

Having seen this, it turns out it's just the old three-panel view as seen in mail progs, but put upside down. But great to see someone has transferred the ideas to calendars now.

I read another piece on the iPad yesterday on a prominent German newspaper. I'm in line with you. My opinion yesterday was that the paper could be a little biased or in hope to get…

Reading a comment like this one for the second time in this very thread, it too much reminds me about those folks who really wanted Pandora to be real. So, hmm. Maybe scientists sh…

Would you concede your geek card to me, please?

...except for forcing people to buy drinks. (Which OTOH brings me to the question whether you'd slip through if you'd bring a (non-liquid) frozen block of water ice.)

Well, and then there was Firefox. Which simply won't run on old hardware, at least not in a current version. And not at all to mention YouTube or anything a more powerful computer …

Is that UI (user interface) design? If not, to my knowledge, UX refers to Unices, and wikipedia does not tell anything related else. So, what is UX?

This is good advice. I should had have it earlier: I always believed that becoming an intern at a startup would be a good idea since (so my opinion) it would give/leave you the fre…

I'm not a reader of The Onion, so what exactly is that value? (Could you give some details?)

> then we discover yet another subatomic particle I guess that is a general principle: Just look at the thing (= what you have/what we know so far), then zoom in, ask: "Why is it t…

The Deutsche Post is just about to introduce email that's guaranteed to reach the addressee. https://www.onlinebrief.de/ That would invite everyone to use e-mail rather than snail,…

Then, why not push it one step further -- some generalized recognition, independent of field of 'expertise' (well, we're talking about a machine/software here)

IMO it should split up the manual into pieces below the level of a level so one could collect those lesson snips one needs and skip the others. Could apply for any other kind of st…
