ye there are three significant projects here. the lego, the control circuit and the printer driver. Any one of those is a reasonable challenge but adam pulled off all 3.
i hate to say it but building a space station is nothing to boast about.millions of people (including me) made shite lego space stations as a child. on the other hand, desigining a lego printer, then designing a control mechanism to interface to a computer then designing your own printer driver has not been done by too many people.
no of course not, he had to build his own circuit to interface the lego motors to his pc, then he had to write a cups driver as well. not forgetting the actual lego mechanism. Each of those components would be a worthy project in itself.
"As we've mentioned previously in great detail, if you've got ads on your website that are annoying your users, that is your fault -- not your users' fault. "
he writes this with a massive animated HP advert that takes up 1/4 of the column width down the side
MS guy says "Open innovation is only possible through the licensing of third party IP rights" - the last 400 years of scientific progress would tend to refute this
either * the malware is in the kernel, in which case it can provide a false checksum of the memory to the external verifier or * the malware is in userspace in which case it gets swapped out, the verifier determines there is no malware in the system, then it gets swapped back in and carries on performing its malicious activities with its user privileges
Its nowhere near London. In units of Englands, its about 1/3 of an England further North. Not near London at all - its much closer to Birmingham, the 2nd city.
On a world-wide scale, yes the University of Warwick is near London, but then so is Africa.
In USA you're already required to pay a tax to a corporation (unless you are happy to die early from a treatable disease) - and guess what, we pay less in the UK for our health coverage than most people pay in the USA.
If the manager demands that I fuck up my evening/sleep then that's fair enough but he also must stay. agreed he shouldn't interfere, but there's no way im staying that late if he's not also prepared to sacrifice his evening.

well this one uses lego motors - i.e. non-stepper motors - and nonetheless achieves an impressive level of precision
i think the precison has a lot to do with his position sensors (the black and white spinning lego bricks you can see at the side)
you get back rubber bands with some lego technic sets.
obviously the felt pen, circuit board and printer driver weren't bought in a toy shop

ye i can confirm he wrote a cups driver for it on his mac (old housemate)
yes exactly - adding larger sentences doesn't really decrease the chance of people committing the crimes. Particularly for "irrational" crimes.
true though its familiarity with the libraries that makes you a productive programmer and that's what listing the language implies
you'd be surprised how many unreal tournament servers there still were when I fired that game up a year or two ago.
choose one:
1) hardly anybody ever plays halo
2) halo servers are deadweight on the network
and /usr
its not caching because you do not have two copies of your data
im pretty sure my disc latency is lower than the respone time of most websites i come across

read the paper, its quite approachable and your questions are answered.
(basically it pre-allocates in the separate thread and doesn't involve any rewrite of source code as it can be implemented via library preloading)

Would you also say that if you are building a house, you should construct all the bricks yourself - otherwise you're a poor and unskilled builder?
If you are a writer, should you invent all the words yourself, otherwise you're a weak writer?
There are entire genres of music that have sprung up based upon sampling the drum beat out of ONE SONG from 40 years ago (c.f. Amen Break).
Isaac Newton is said to have made a comment about how he only achieved what he achieved by standing on the shoulders of giants.
presumably the response will be to invade an innocent and unrelated country. maybe belgium.

so this is a remedy for future anti-competitive concerns. How does this address past anti-competitive behaviour?
It sounds a little like "Microsoft murdered people. Microsoft enters into a legally binding agreement not to murder for the next 5 years."
On other news websites, "Thankfully, noone was killed". On Slashdot, "All three bullets missed the hard disc".
