wait did you see that microsoft execution container (mxc) article and think "oh wow remember the best show that was on spiketv"? :D

The site seems to be getting hugged to death, here's the archive.org backup:

it's quicker and easier than ever to generate a project to send to the Google Graveyard.

Mt. Adams is hardly forgotten @_@

Check out Kodu Game Lab; it was a Microsoft Research project from a number of years ago, and is still maintained. Your son won't need to learn a language, but he will learn some of the core concepts from a visual paradigm.

What do you mean?

I think part of it is the guilt of taking time off of work so everything gets dubbed "the flu" to justify it.

I've only had the flu once that I know of after an conference in Las Vegas about 12yrs ago, and it was the worst illness I've ever had. I went into work on day 1, immediately turned around went home, and nearly passed out going up the stairs. The next three days were a fugue of blinking and the shadows from the trees outside moving.

You should post your hint to the other thread as it's the dupe.

Ha, bravo for changing the name so quick! I must confess, I clicked on the link, then read the comments and was super confused about the hubbub as it was called Teex, and not Tex. Cool project, hope you are able to keep it up!

For sure; I found it pretty stark how a given Computer Science curriculum doesn't cover much of what you actually need to be successful in the field: architecting, engineering, planning, testing, wiring services/api's together, etc.

yes

"We impeach Presidents when they commit crimes, which he has not done and hasn't even been in office long enough to do."

Can you clarify how long one must be in public office to commit a crime?

Once upon a time this basically happened: xemacs

Perfect, thanks!

Is there a youtube channel or confreaks we can subscribe to so we can watch them when available?

Here's the release announcement from the people who actually bring you git: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/git/git/master/Documentati...

I think that's what they were getting at though, it's the same engine as Safari with a layer of Firefox on top, not Gecko, etc.

I definitely agree; as someone who uses Python daily, and previously not knowing what Cython is, my first thought was of a new, very immature project.

Newscientist also covered this. They have a couple more masks to look at http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn16911-schizophrenics-s...

That's cool and all, but I don't think folks who commit suicide generally Google it before hand.

I care about the nook, it's a great eReader, and I use it daily. I suppose you're referring to the iPad, which isn't an eReader.

I agree with you. Remember that episode of The Simpsons where Homer moves the family to a new town which is run by Scorpio, the head of the towns power plant, and everything is managed by The Company, oh and Scorpio happens to be a world class terrorist? That's how the article reads to me.

Kodu Game Lab from Microsoft Research (http://community.research.microsoft.com/blogs/kodu/default.a...) is a really good way to get kids into programming. Disclosure: I worked on it.

Not only was it poorly written, but the typesetting was all over the place. Egadz!

Most Bluetooth headsets have their antennas inside, so that they aren't visible.

They may not be able to update the G1 due to the limited size of the G1's internal flash. http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/17/t-mobile-g1-wont-see-any-...

Sounds good to me.

In further news, I plan on eating a sandwich for lunch.

Mac and Windows at any rate.
