Because of this:

  input a,b,c
  x = (-b+sqrt(b^2-4*a*c))/(2*a)
  output x

It feels sooo good!

Solving problems, finding solutions, it is an adrenaline rush, an addiction, like playing god with bits and creating universes inside computers.

That's how it feels.

How different is an electric bicycle from an electric motorcycle?

See, I rather ride an electric hayabusa or a ninja.

Before, there was a difference between them, now that both can be powered by electricity the line blurs.

Add 0.1 already to make it 2.0

People like big increments, new versions, cool stuff to play with. It is all about marketing.

Like HTML 5, it's new and fun. It wouldn't be the same if it was HTML 4.1.5

Firefox should have been 4.0 instead of 3.5, it has more punch. Next version would be 5.0 and so on. But they missed it. Now we have Safari 4, Opera 10, Chrome 2.

Small increments are always associated with bug fixes.

Stop coding and start marketing.

I don't care if the kindle store is excellent.

I don't care if amazon is good 99% of the time.

I don't care if BigPrint is the devil and amazon was coerced.

Nobody should EVER under any circumstance delete ANYTHING from my computer, even if I bought it or not, if it is pirated or not, if it is stolen or not.

If it was your mistake to allow that to happen you should ask politely and we should be able to decide what to do.

I hope Apple takes notices, I know they have a remote shut-down switch in every iphone. They better never use it.

If something erases data from my computer without my consent, yes, it is my enemy!

record: n int, val varchar2

Manage and sort in-memory and store already ordered when done (no matter if it is physically unordered).

That's why I said, for small trees and in-memory management.

The web as we know it today is a scrollable web. I'd like to see also a flippable web in the near future.

Where long documents are presented in one page and you can flip pages back and forth, instead of scrolling up and down, accommodating content depending on its font size and viewport.

Again, I support BOTH models, so it is up to the content creator where to use each.

Interesting.

For short trees and in-memory management another option would be:

  electronics
  /televisions
  //tube
  //lcd
  //plasma
  /portable electronics
  //mp3 players
  ///flash
  //cd players
  //2 way radios

Where depth levels are represented by slashes only.

Replace with indexes and you have a shorter version.

Let's see what else we can come up with just for fun...

No, I shouldn't care. If mysql dissappears there is postgresql and many other open source options.

All you should do is have an easy way to port all your data/code to the new database, which you should already have such backup plan, right?

Hosting providers should be aware and prepared to switch databases too.

While we are at it, please avoid FUD, payperpost, PR submarines and tabloid gossip.

Oooh, the beautiful web.

I've seen it, and it is beautiful!

Hey it is me, Michael Arrington.

Please tell me which machine it is, send info to:

Thanks!

Make him sweat for 24 hours before giving any clue, so other hackers can put their mad skillz to test.

If they break in that wouldn't be your fault.

There are only three spatial dimensions, and time.

If you are going to play tricks using color, you may as well use flavors and odors for a sixth dimension visualization (and any other property you may think of for further extending dimensions).

I call bullshit.

And the most important, it protects you from carpal tunnel syndrome. I started suffering from CTS and had to switch hands at first. Then finally dropped the mouse and got a trackball (precisely the one you point at) and never been happier.

Just for Travel Channel, Food Network and Gossip Girl.

Deleted all news channels.

At least this post will have everybody running like headless chickens at TC deleting every unethical or compromising evidence and fixing every possible security hole.

But there will always be one hole left...

Honest question: who in his sane mind pre-orders an OS???

Innovation is welcome in any front.

If they decide to design an electric roadster, I'll support them even if Tesla complains with a barrage of payperpost.

Kudos to Google.

Next time it won't be a spit, it will be a punch in the face.

"The Miracle Factory"

Great name for a movie honoring Tesla.

Well, "Tesla" has more punch, I guess.

I was in the same situation for three months after a bar fight I lost almost 10 years ago.

Forget about haute-cuisine, all you need is plenty of soup and smoothies. You'll be amazed at how many different soups and creams you can come up with.

Broccoli, cauliflower, potato, carrot, pumpkin, chicken, etc, three times a day or more.

The blender is your best friend.

This snippet uses the new navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition() feature in Firefox 3.5

You will be redirected to Google Maps if you click the folowing link:

(You must click "share location" when prompted by the browser, you know, privacy concerns)

  javascript:navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(function(position){window.location.href="http://maps.google.com/?ll="+position.coords.latitude+","+position.coords.longitude;});

Drop it in your bookmarks toolbar and presto!

Colors are dull, use vibrant colors to appeal the younger generation.

One of the few men I admire, DaVinci, Newton and Tesla.

In memoriam.

Why the middle man?

Calls http://www.web2pdfconvert.com/ to do the conversion

Tip: instead of the himalayas try using a beachball.

Wow, besides its functionality or not, it is a really interesting approach to solving a problem.

Kudos for imagination.

Back to the initial problem, after successive attempts you may remember the shape and colors, problem is, most business complain new users can't remember their passwords after registering, so there won't be a second time.

The only way of better remembering something is by viewing it.

Cool hack.

Here is what I use:

- Place an "Unmask" checkbox next to the password field

- onclick checkunmask()

  $("#password").type = ($("#unmask").checked)?"textbox":"password";

Simple, everybody happy.

Put together one jpg and some xml in one package, standardize it and share it with everybody on the web, mobile, bluetooth, wireless, etc.

Kind of like a vcard on steroids.

Let everybody show it on their webpage, blog, etc.

Show it, share it, send it, shake it, transfer it.
