C1D··on The Fallacy of Money As A Means
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.
C1D··on Ask HN: How to contribute to open source projects?
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 :)

Thanks for posting that link. That site is actually very interesting.
C1D··on “Printcrime” by Cory Doctorow
I would love to see the end result of your book/blog post :P
C1D··on Australian police issue warning on 3D printed guns
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.
C1D··on CPU core estimation with JavaScript
This thing crashed my PC, that's why I'm waiting for Haswell so I can buy a new one.
C1D··on Ask HN: What language do you recommend I learn?
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.
C1D··on Ask HN: What language do you recommend I learn?
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.
C1D··on Ask HN: What language do you recommend I learn?
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.
C1D··on Ask HN: What language do you recommend I learn?
Python, C, C++, node.js/JavaScript, PHP and C#.
C1D··on Yahoo Acquires Gaming Infrastructure Startup PlayerScale
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.
C1D··on Kim Dotcom to Google, Twitter, Facebook: I Own Security Patent, Work With Me
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.
C1D··on Ask HN: Should I code my next project in PHP or Ruby?
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.
C1D··on Ask HN: Should I code my next project in PHP or Ruby?
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
C1D··on Ask HN: Should I code my next project in PHP or Ruby?
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
C1D··on WorldChat.io: Chat with realtime translation
I'm going out but when I get home I will see what I can do :) EDIT: I think using websockets + node.js would be a better idea.
C1D··on WorldChat.io: Chat with realtime translation
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.
C1D··on Hacker News is depressing
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.
C1D··on Ask HN: What are some 'startup lingo' you didn't know before?
To add on to what you said: Angel, lean startup, startup, YC, pivot, exit, zombie startup
C1D··on Ask HN: Would you use a service that sent you customized spoken information?
$60 is not worth it. I can get this stuff from my RSS Reader and twitter feed, plus then I would be able to re-read what parts I want.
C1D··on "Hackathon" Has Been Trademarked in Germany
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.
C1D··on Can you crack a code?
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.
C1D··on iio Engine – A new HTML5 App Framework
Shouldn't this point to their homepage (http://iioengine.com/) . Aside from that, this actually looks interesting and I might use it for a app.
C1D··on What language should I learn?
Any one in Sydney is gonna have a hard time: PHP, SQL and Java. Luckily Melbourne is JS.

C1D··on Verlet-js - Open source dynamic body physics engine
This is great, it doesn't seem to have any lag and I can't wait to see this being implemented.
C1D··on Fry.IO (Link Shortener) Adds Password Protection And Custom URLs
Its pretty impressive and I love the use of flatUI :), but I can't see any Custom Subdomains?
C1D··on Bitcoin Miners Are Racking Up $150,000 A Day In Power Consumption
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.
C1D··on Exposed Webcam Viewer
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.
