Get a Note 4 (or Note 3). I love mine. I replaced the battery with a 7,500 mAh unit, it's a $30 kit you can buy from Amazon.

To download, Scribd demands Facebook authentication, or that new users create an account. Then they demand payment, or that you "give back to the community" by "uploading something…

When I was creating tunings for Angel Harp, some of the tunings had bugs, but they were more beautiful than what I originally intended. So I kept them. http://itunes.apple.com/us/a…

My attempt at Level 1: class Player def play_turn(warrior) warrior.walk!(:right) end end The warrior keeps bumping in to a wall, and the code fails. This is counter-intuitive, beca…

Twang has been on the market for 16 months. I have tested a few price points, and the difference between $.99 and $2.99 has hardly affected sales, so $2.99 is the way to go!

I'd like to see this question posed as a survey. How much money has your app earned: $10-$99, $100-$999, $1,000-$9,999... If you're really curious, my iOS app Twang was featured by…

That did it. Thanks!

I can't compile this. What am I doing wrong? Here is the output: $ gcc -o donut donut.c -lm donut.c:1: warning: data definition has no type or storage class donut.c: In function ‘m…

Good to know. A fast internet connection would be nice, but 3G is acceptable. What amenities should a hacker colony have? I'm thinking: fast internet, quiet cabins, food delivered …

Thanks! Since it's cheap, I could eat out more often, and spend less time on cooking & cleaning...

I have released two iOS apps. I have planned a third app, but it's more complex than the others, and I'd like to develop it in (relative) isolation. I applied to an artist's colony…

I perceived the second 'the'. Does this mean I have a non-human brain?

"Bi" and "Queer" have very different implications, as I understand it.

No.

dgreensp explained it nicely, in another comment ;)

Perhaps aleatoric is the wrong word... I imagine that you could overlay the ghost diagrams on grids, follow the tiles (as if traversing land on a map), and your paths would produce…

This is the best thing I've seen in months. I can imagine utilizing this in many projects: Generating creatures in a shooter, generating maps, aleatoric music composition... Incred…

"Most people" implies a majority of people. But the graph indicates that only 8.1% of people wake up at 6am. nitpick

Any Portland, OR night owls interested in starting a group?

I suddenly feel less alone in the world. Does anyone know if such a group exists in Portland, Oregon? If not, I might have to start one. I do all of my creative hacking between 10p…

Maybe it's time to dabble in something new? I've developed many interests over the years -- programming, game design, interactive development, music theory, soundtracks, cooking, m…

I use my yellow pages as a monitor stand, so I use it every day :P

That deleted comment was mine, the text was: "You get what you pay for ;)" I admire your attitude, nopassrecover. And you're right, even as contractors we can shape the outcome of …
