Reminds me of that _old_ game from MS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_Movie_Maker Couldn't do text-to-speech, but you could record voices.

Also, having read a few (first year grad student here), I'm starting to think it might sometimes be a simple matter of lack of space. Explaining algorithm and method correctly requ…

He had me at "code/history" division. I really don't like the way I must usually enter functions in the basic interpreter (line by line, can't go back... unless I missed something?…

As much as this would make for a nice concert/show gizmo, I'm also interested in those tiny helicopters themselves. To control them with such precision would be impressive (well fr…

To me it really depends on the type of material. Obviously if I'm reading a math paper, I may re-read the same sentence half a dozen times, so it doesn't apply. But there are clear…

To add to the list, for those who don't know about it, there's spaced repetition software. There are some situations where rote memorization is indeed useful, e.g. learning vocabul…

I get a MySQL error, but from the URL, I guess that's the product (manufacturer page): http://www.seeedstudio.com/depot/micro-digital-storage-oscil...

Makes sense (esp. these last few years where device come with the least physical switch possible, e.g. the iPhone), but given the benefit, I personally wouldn't mind the added clut…

True. At least with cameras there's an obvious way of disabling it. Yet there's just no enough market pressure to get manufacturers to include a clear electronic switch-off mechani…

So that'd mean some schools (or is it the same one?) did such spying without even trying to conceal it. That it hadn't occurred to students to cover the camera with something is a …

Oh, and having tried it a bit with a twitter search feed, maybe you could have some options for formatting too (with replacements like %t for title, %u for url etc.). (But of cours…

Overall good idea, but I'd say: obviously I wouldn't use this for my regular feeds, only for some specific ones for which I want live notifications. So maybe some basic filtering o…

Yeah those equations flying around seemed _real_ useful :)

Well there's this MIT student's project which looks similar to that Caprica thing (from what I've seen of it): http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/02/ted-digital-six/

The technology looks very nice, if a bit slow to react at times (from the video). But maybe that's just a voluntary kind of "momentum" introduced in their software. (And getting to…
