Thanks. OT: How do we protect from such snooping? I thought that recording the keys was harder for the cameras since the keyboard would be masked by user's height or a partially cl…

Dodgy keyboard is a good point; makes for a compelling case in favour of bullets.

Disagree. Even bullets shouldn't be displayed while the user types the password. Why should a security camera in an office know that the user's password length is ten, twelve or tw…

True. At the same time, we keep expecting more from our machines, fuelling feature growth and consequential demand for faster processing mechanisms.

"Founders at Work" by Jessica Livingston. Full of good stories. "My years with General Motors" by Alfred P. Sloan, Jr. How he built the organization is quite an interesting read.

I will like to believe that the Desktop software will move towards parallelism, may not be to the same extent as of HPC, but in a similar direction in the sense that it will certai…

Processor: 32-bit PowerPC 450 at 850 MHz. The supercomputer has 294,912 processor cores. Instead of running it at a higher speed, they are quite correctly exploiting the parallelis…

Thanks. Having actually used Mono on Linux, he shared some interesting observations. Clojure surely looks promising, but Python or Scala can be equally fine choices as of the momen…

This poses some pretty interesting questions. 1. Is it mandatory to install such filter software on Linux boxes also? 2. How do they handle the case where the filter software is ch…

In case you decide to compile MzScheme 372 from sources on a Fedora 10 box that has SELinux in enforcing mode, you need to take a few (simple) additional steps: http://aadnyavali.w…

There was a formatting problem with my previous comment. The statement "Nowhere near the power offered by LISP, but huge leap of convenience while writing in C++" was a footnote fo…

C++0x standard is in "real soon now" mode for quite some time. I'm definitely excited by the possibilities, but somewhat unhappy over the current state of compilers, see e.g., http…

Looks like github+topcoder for ideas.
