It's rather interesting that every story I read advocating that any member of the eurozone should get out for one reason or other, was written by someone not in the eurozone. I won…

Nope, it's not from Portugal. Judging from the portuguese text, I suppose it's a Brazillian search engine. Either way, congratulations to the creators, it's rather nice. I found ou…

Thanks, I found it useful. :) A small bug I noticed: longer biographies aren't showing up in full [1]. Happens in both Chrome 5.0.375.17, Safari 4.0.5 and Firefox 3.6.2; OSX 10.6.3…

Yep, it does. Usually OSX gets everything right immediately after connecting my MBP to a TV, although sometimes (rarely, in my experience) it needs adjustment, but that only takes …

Would content-aware fill be enough? http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2010/03/caf_in_ps.html That's so amazing my brain won't stop screaming "FAKE!". :)

I used to use dmenu in Linux, which used just a few kilobytes of memory, wasn't running all the time in the background and was fast... My point was how little memory Alfred uses wh…

I didn't mean to be too evil in my comment. I actually like the design and how fast it feels (not that QSB is slow). :) I'll keep tuned for updates. It does seems promising, althou…

Not bad at all, but I still find Google Quick Search Box[1] more complete. Navigating the filesystem directly is what I miss the most in Alfred. EDIT: It also doesn't seem to have …

"How I turned coding unicorn picture technology into a $12 million a year business" Bonus points for madness!

What can I say? Pico Computing likes to brag and Dr. Dobb's published an article about it. As you said in your first comment, there's nothing new about this.

Sorry, my bad. I didn't bother to research, just pulled that from the article. Pico Computing has announced that it has achieved the highest-known benchmark speeds for 56-bit DES d…

Sure, but I suppose their means didn't consist in a PCI Express card filled with FPGAs, like described in the article.

I think their point was this: When using a Pico FPGA cluster, however, each FPGA is able to perform 1.6 billion DES operations per second. A cluster of 176 FPGAs, installed into a …

Well, it's not strictly necessary, I could have just used an image with my email address but that could be harvested by OCR-capable spambots (I think there are a few in the wild) a…

I use a combination of reCAPTCHA Mailhide [1] and Javascript. By default I use the link to my "mailhidden" email. Then, some Javascript code [2] replaces that link with a mailto li…

I'm working on 0xCOFFEE, a compiler for a toy language implemented using Ruby, TreeTop and LLVM. http://github.com/meqif/0xCOFFEE It's quite fun, but I had to fork llvmruby (the ru…

From Wikipedia [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pink#Pink_in_gender ]: "In Western culture, the practice of assigning pink to an individual gender began in the 1920s.[5] From then un…

I use gandi.

I use tarsnap[1] and not-so-regular backups to my home fileserver. [1] http://tarsnap.com
