A Microprofessor I with a 1.79 MHz Z80 and 2K RAM, back in 1982. I wrote programs to produce morse code, and to make the red led blink (which wasn't easy, since it was directly attached to the Z80's paused pin).
I live below sea level in The Netherlands. It's not safe and it never will be. Global warming, rising sea level, storms, weaknesses in levees, terrorism, meteorites, technical failures, maintenance, politics, budgets.
Looking at the pictures from New Orleans it's completely obvious what the city needs to do: move itself 10 feet or so upwards.
That's all there is to it. How difficult can that be?
Sorry, but PmWiki is not excellent. If you hadn't slashdotted it's site, we could have looked up the insane instructions to password-protect page editing. Let me just quote from the Google cache: "the username field usually isn't used by PmWiki". Note the 'usually'.
The Internet Archive is the worst copyright infringement in the history of mankind. It's about time someone stops them.
(Don't you dare mod me as troll, flamebait or funny! I'm dead serious.)
It's better to wait and see before fixing something that may not matter later.

Almost all technology, from Unix to bitmapped displays to the Web, became popular first within CS departments and research labs, and gradually spread to the rest of the world.
Yeah right. I don't know who Paul Graham is, but he's evidently unaware of the PC, MS Windows, MS Office and a few other things.
Kids love to solve puzzles. Well, some of them at least.
Bring Towers of Hanoi (physical plastic). Let them solve it (three piles of 5 disks).
Then let them figure out the solution for the general case. Help them a little bit. Start with 2 disks and build it up from there.
Finally, let them code the solution in Python, or some other intuitive language with an easy syntax. Prepare some routines that visuallize on the screen what's happening (e.g. moveDiskFromPileToPile(fromPile,toPile)), so they actually see it work.
Disclaimer: I've taught chess to primary school kids, but am no good in Towers of Hanoi whatsoever.
It's working fine here in The Netherlands (albert). The quality of fresh, cold and frozen products is excellent.
It is in fact better than doing your own delivery, because unlike your average car, the delivery trucks are equiped with freezers and coolers at the right temperatures.
Slashdot Mirror
It's a nice article abouw a new formula, but they forgot one minor detail: the formula. Or is it patented already?

There's nothing wrong with the location. The problem is the piles the houses were built on were way too short.

U.S. citizens != everyone
Google needs permission from every publisher for each and every book they wish to publish through the web.
Just waiting N months for complaints doesn't grant G any rights, no matter how long N is.

Try keyboard-enabling your GUI.
"how numbers can be created by adding other numbers"... that sounds more like the observation of an American presidency guy.
What I don't understand is why bookstores don't have full text search. Who'd want to browse through all those books?

You'd have to bang your head with proper indentation though.
There was no space when the big bang happened. There must have been something else, that did support sound.
They don't seem to be blocking archive.org.
Why would this be a problem? Nobody even reads a blog, do they?
