This guide really shows what I think is a big problem with a lot of Node guides, they don't go beyond the first 5 minutes. There are a ton of guides on how to set up a webserver in…

I'm currently a student (in Holland), and I've been to a few recruitment fairs and if I were to get an email or see a flyer about another one I would probably not even read it. Mos…

"the European system"? The systems in individual European countries are about as different from each other as any of them are different from the US system. One attempt to somewhat …

"Trademark offensive" is a somewhat coloured representation of the situation. See; http://notch.tumblr.com/post/8519901309/bethesda-are-suing-u... and http://notch.tumblr.com/post/…

Remember that this is done using clear full-frontal pictures, FRT drop significantly in accuracy with even the smallest change in angle. Not to mention sunglasses, (facial) hair ob…

"Unsettling" might be a overstating it a bit. The first slideshow[1] explains (on slide 38, Limitations) that face recognition techniques still have a long way to go. More clearly …

I would've loved to hear some more from Harj, he got some good questions in but it seemed to me he had a hard time actually hearing the interviewees (and vica versa). Plus Paul's e…

In this paper they make a pretty compelling case as to why limiting/censoring media would actually be counter-productive and make the riots worse. http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/paper…

Neither, making a 100% sure that every security hole is plugged takes time, and as such money. Corporations simply do not want to pay extra for this (in most cases). The Anonymous …

The key element that you're missing is 'and brushed up on the fundamentals.' , nobody is saying that Skiena is the only source you should be learning and that you only need to know…

I have no data to back this up but anecdotally I once had a professor explain how some, if not most, professors would adjust their grading to get to a specific average for exams an…

Interesting that the price is 4,99 USD, while in Eurozone it's 4,99 EUR. So it's actually cheaper for Americans. I know it's common for products originating in the USA (games, elec…

Because you can. I've made far more useless stuff simply because I felt it would be interesting or a challenge to make. Which in turn are usually the projects I learn the most from…

Personally I feel that you're being a bit too optimistic. LulzSec was much louder about the fact they did it for the 'lulz' rather than for any noble agenda. Encouraging people to …
