Free fall for more than 3 minutes, and reaching a speed of over 800 kilometers per hour that way must be an awesome experience!
I'm wondering one thing though: If you open a parachute while going down at that speed, how does that work? It must be a rather strong parachute. How fast do you decelerate?
I've seen programming languages using keywords in my native language (Dutch), and I found it silly, funny, and hard to be taken seriously. I just expect it to be English.
I also think way more than 6% of people, especially in software development circles, knows enough English to understand programming language keywords, compiler error messages, etc... And I'm sure there exist enough books in any spoken language about each programming language.
I see reddit mentioned often on slashdot. Everytime I'm like "Since slashdotters mention it, it must be a very good tech site". And everytime I look, I'm immediately appaled, thinking I'm looking at 4chan. Here's what I currently saw at the frontpage of reddit:
Well shit... (i.imgur.com) That's correctRehosted webcomic -removed (i.imgur.com) Dead mayflies at a gas station in Minnesota. I think I'll pass. (i.imgur.com) A NYC man is suing to protect his First Amendment right to flip cops the bird. He had raised his middle finger for "one to two seconds" to cops who had just passed him, only to be arrested by another cop who saw him. They charged him with disorderly conduct and causing public alarm and annoyance. (nymag.com)
So, can someone tell me: In what way is that more interesting than slashdot?
The website on which the original article is posted also has boxed layout, not-so mind-calming images, some fake popup, and all kinds of annoying mouse hover effects.
I was once thinking, if you cut tiny dots of 0.1mm in size in stone tablets, then it might be just visible with primitive tools and preserve a long while.
A stone tablet of one square meter could store 100 megabit that way!
As a Belgian, I abandoned azerty. Qwerty is indeed better for programming. And azerty is for the French language. The Dutch language, spoken by most Belgians, has absolutely no need for a q in the center row. I really don't understand how azerty ever ended up being used in Flanders.
Thanks for quoting the relevant part of the article here, because I was absolutely unable to read the article. First it's about sloths, then about leaning against a wall, then again about leaning against a wall, then about a macbook? I was unable to follow what this guy was saying and could not make sense out of it, so gave up after a few paragraphs. Has the internet really lowered my attention span that much? I used to be a good reader:(
Slashdot Mirror
But why would you do THAT if you can hack it together in Linux with SDL?!
Short answer: no.
Long answer: nope.
altered that line!
This summary contains the word "App Store" a few more times than necessary...
My eye's iris, which is always visible, is easier to copy than a key or card in my pocket.
I think biometrics offer higher convenience, but lower security.
Am I right
But still someone actually CHOSE to make it the color lime green, while there are so many other colors!
Astronauts returning home from ISS could just jump, all that's needed is a parachute.

Or Dungeons and Dragons.

So yeah, how'd you type this in a login prompt?

It'd be *awesome* if they officially supported Wine too for many games for which they won't bother making an actual Linux version.

What do fake users gain by Like-ing a fake business page?
Isn't it more effective for fake users to like something that at least gives them some money in some way? I mean, spam lives from money, right?
Don't you get it? What else do you think causes these mysterious optical activities!
Hacking sites to leak 100 thousands of passwords? This is the fourth recent case I know of.

Useful?
That of males is documented slightly better than that of females.

The average temperature is probably a few degrees higher, if a degree at all. Does insfrastructure have no tolerance at all?!
If human physiology can adapt to avoid being eaten by giant sand worms in space, then, yes...
