  1. Facebook Platform on It's Time for Social Networks to Open Up · · Score: 1

    FTFA: Facebook would be better if you could link to friends' pages on MySpace and Bebo. The Facebook Platform lets you do just that. I recently made a flickr account and wanted to share those photos with my Facebook friends, so I used the "My Flickr" app to add a section in my Facebook profile that showed thumbnails from my flickr stream and provided a link to my flickr URL. I was also able to view which of my friends had added the app and added them as contacts on flickr. This was all made possible because flickr and Facebook both have APIs for developers.

    The lectures that are recorded at MIT are all provided free of charge.

  4. FF7 Tech Demo on Xbox 360 Gets Backwards Compatible, Final Fantasy · · Score: 1

    I believe he was talking about the <a href="http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/rpg/finalfantas<nobr>y<wbr></wbr></nobr> vii/index.html">FF7 technical demo</a> that was included in yesterday's PS3 press conference at E3. It was basically an impressive live-rendered version of the opening for FF7 that improved on the character animation of Aeris and Cloud, and left people wondering whether Square-Enix would be re-releasing FF7 for PS3.

    To understand the second ubergeek design, watch this uber-cool, uber-geeky Flash animation.

  6. W3C on A Geek's Tour Of North America? · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the W3C, which has its main office at MIT's Laboratory for Computer Science!

  7. women? on Marriage May Tame Genius · · Score: 1
    creative genius is turned off almost like a tap if a man gets married and has children
    what about female geniuses? what happens when they get married?
  8. MIT's supported email clients on Which Organizations Have Standardized on Mozilla? · · Score: 1

    MIT's Athena stations run Solaris 8 or Red Hat 7.3. The default graphical mail client here is Evolution (using IMAP) but everyone still has the option of using pine, *mh, or a webmail interface based on IMP from the Horde Project.

    Mozilla's mail client is available, but it does not have a large following at all at my campus.

  9. Re:Corporations are at fault? on Asia Running Out Of IP Addresses · · Score: 1

    This isn't entirely accurate. It's true that MIT has its own Class A (18.*), but take a look at the Network Topology Map (pdf) and you'll see that most buildings are /21's (including most dorms). Most frats and independent living groups are on /23's because they're smaller... but it's definitely true that MIT owns a hell of a lot of IP's.
