I agree with most of the things you said. In fact there are two major reasons why I want to start a company. Number 1 being that I want to be able to get my kids a great education and the other is that I want to innovate something that will help everyones life, I want to majorly contribuite to society.
I created a Github account and found a really interesting project (Adobe Brackets). At that time I was looking for an open source project and found brackets, I enjoyed using it and when I realised I could contribute I started building whats missing.
I've contributed to Arabic Translation, Text Highlighting and Code Recognition.
So my advice to find something you like and contribuite to that :)
This is very scared as 3D printers are becoming cheaper soon any one could print out a gun with litte effort.
As people said, you can create your own guns but whats different is this takes little work which any one could do.
This could be a world problem as soon as 3D printers become mainstream, especially in countries with tight gun regulation.
They did add a piece of steel to the build but you can build it with out adding in the metal. They added that to the instructions so it could be detectable and legal but it was obvious that any one could just not add in the metal.
Thanks for that. I will go look at some large scale open source projects and I will take a look at some functional programming languages.
I'm will also look at relational databases.
Thanks.
Hey. I just found the book Seven Languages in Seven Weeks. I guess I could study that and select a language that I enjoy and master it.
It goes through Haskell, erlang, scala, io, prolog and ruby.
The programming languages that I could say I know fully are PHP, node and python.
I only studied some basic c and c++ so no, I can't explain your example.
Also thanks for suggestion about ruby.
I want to see where this is going and try to work out if all these acquisitions are part of the new yahoo or just some big PR stunt, though that's very unlikely yahoo has loads of money and they've caugh the attention of many.
If new yahoo is going to actually do something innovative with these new products I can't wait to see what it's going to be.
If a company does actually help his legal battle the US gov won't be happy. I hope he does get help with his legal problems and I want to see how this whole thing plays out. It's likely that companies like FB, google and twitter will ignore him so I want to see how he's going to respond to that.
I have allot of spare time and I think starting this project would be a good idea to use my time. I think I'm going to with what language I really like, which is node.js.
Well I want to become a better programmer and also work on a project for fun so I think Ruby would be good as it would expand my knowledge of programming.
EDIT: I think I'm going to go with node.JS
Thanks for that :) I'm looking into RoR but I don't know where to learn it, can you give any suggestions? Also does RoR have support with mongo?
EDIT: I think I'm going to go with node.JS
It feels like I'm being spammed, there isn't enough time to read the messages and its also getting flooded by people with the usernames flood and flooder.
Reading the comments yesterday was as Dave said, depressing. I ended up closing the window because I really didn't want read any more of the comments.
People began attacking his second name and that was when it went further than too far.
This has been trademarked in Germany so it shouldn't be a problem for people in other places, I presume (correct me if I'm wrong); but, this will be a problem for Germans. A quick google search shows that there are Hackathons happening in Germany and I'd like to know if the holder will take legal action.
Yes the answer is in English. It's pretty easy to crack but may take some time if this is your first time.
To do this you need to use Letter Frequency. Since 'e' is the most common letter in the English language you can look for the most common character in the text and assume it is 'e', and if it isn't try another letter.
For a list of the most common letters, see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Letter_frequency.
BFL has (edit) not been (/edit) know to ship -but I can confirm that people have gotten their orders!- becuase It's taken some time as they've had problems with getting ASIC's. They supposedly will start sending them out at mid april (15th) which is tomorrow, so I'm going to wait and see what happens. If they do ship then I'll place my order.
They probably mentioned BFL because they're currently accepting orders and also have had more media attention because of the whole scam controversy.
This is amazing but also sad at the same time. Its amazing that people don't realize what connecting something to the internet means but sad because I've found some webcams inside peoples homes, I won't post the URLs for their own safety/privacy.
