Drat, I was hoping for a link to a Hannah Montana website, because that would make <i>me</i> happy.

Oh man - I was listening to public radio this morning and the guest actually said that he thought the inventor of Twitter would go down in history alongside Alexander Graham Bell and Samuel Morse.
It's mildly innovative, but let's not go nuts here..
Re:What I Wish I Had Known About Developing C/C++ From Linux Before I ...

Why are we taking C/C++ programming advice from somebody who has been doing it for just over a year?
And not to troll, but anyone who honestly believes vim is a better development environment than one of the mature Linux IDEs (Eclipse, Code::Blocks, KDevelop) is an idiot.

A lot of companies team up with universities, and both contribute towards applied research.
I think this is ultimately the best approach, because if you just give academia a bunch of money they will waste it all publishing papers on string theory.

I downloaded the demo application and it instantly crashed upon loading with:
"Unexpected problem detected in the program 'nuiDemo.exe'"
If your demo application crashes, you're not ready for primetime.

"We might have a job opening for you, but only if you submit your business profile IN THE NEXT THIRTY SECONDS."
No, just kidding, I like the site. It has a nice minimalism feel like most good sites..
Re:An Unbreakable Code?

It's slightly better than a one time pad, in that a finite-length key (namely, a time offset) could transmit an infinite-length message.
Of course, the assumptions required are still completely unrealistic.

And don't get me started with passing by value! Okay, I'll stop being a dick.

Your function crashes when passed an empty vector. Defensive programming please! :-)
