  1. Oh yea, Aegis on Software Holds Cell Phone Calls While Driving · · Score: 1

    I developed software that presses the brake pedal if you go over the speed limit... Big woo!

  2. Start with reality on How Should I Teach a Basic Programming Course? · · Score: 1

    1. CPU + CACHE + RAM + HD + Network
    2. Fetch Decode Execute (THIS IS NOT THE ONLY SOLUTION, CHILDREN! We just happened to pour trillions of dollars into this)
    3. Assembly language
    4. C. Spend lots of time on C. LOTS.
    5. Step 4 will probably take the rest of the semester or quarter to go through... But teach it well, and they'll go far!

  3. Re:four clicks on Mozilla SSL Policy Considered Bad For the Web · · Score: 1

    Amen! That was my original reaction when I saw the title of the article. Nothing is restricted other than the time it takes to get to page with a self-signed cert.

    Some people....

  4. The cat got my tongue on Sneaking Past Heavy-Handed Audio Compression on YouTube · · Score: 1

    Brilliant! I've heard about problems with "normalizing" in the past. This is an excellent way to work around this problem!

    So when the Hindenburg burned, why didn't it explode? Terrible fire, yes, but no detonation like TNT. About charging: Seems like you might generate all the time into a larger storage tank, and then transfer the hydrogen into some other tank to be used by some other engine? That's *fast* -- way faster than batteries. And about efficiency: Where are those numbers from? And in terms of efficiency, what are they even measuring? efficiency from battery to drive train? from power source to battery? Where're the source and sink of those efficiency measurements?

  8. Re:Save for the other fact... on Home-Based Hydrogen Refueling Station · · Score: 1

    How many charges do the batteries last? (pardon my naivety on how battery longevity is measured)

  9. Hmmm... on Open WiFi Owners Off the Hook In Germany · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Do taxpayers get reprimanded for drug trafficking done on roads their tax dollars pay for? So why should someone providing network access be reprimanded for illegal action done by someone else on their connection? Who knows.

  10. But... on Home-Based Hydrogen Refueling Station · · Score: 2, Funny

    clearly, imagined fear is far more important than efficiency

  11. Save for the other fact... on Home-Based Hydrogen Refueling Station · · Score: 1

    Hydrogen is still just an energy medium -- not a source. Say that hydrogen generator runs at 2kW (similar to an A/C unit), and it takes about 2h to generate enough H2 to run you for 100m... Oh wait.. that's like 25 cents ~ 1/4 penny a mile........

  12. April Fools...? on Studies Confirm That Bad Boys Get More Girls · · Score: 1

    April fools?

  13. Re:Comics make great filler on Computer Art For a CS Dept Office? · · Score: 1

    Which TA area? CS? Is it still in the CoC? I graduated a couple years ago, and when I did, I lined the TA Lab from floor to ceiling with various CS propaganda and mugshots of professors.
