Thanks. I guess just google man-k.org :) If you try man-k, Google gives lots of useless stuff :(
iamabhi9··on Udacity and the future of online universities
ok, I was not aware that Aiqus was independent of the AI class. Though one of the developers of Aiqus posted in an unofficial FB group of AI class that all the rest of the courses will also use Aiqus during the next session.
iamabhi9··on Udacity and the future of online universities
Totally agreed. Prof. Thrun and Prof. Norvig made math an interesting part of the course. At the end of the course I found myself more motivated to learn mathematics than ever before.
iamabhi9··on Udacity and the future of online universities
Though as far as I know there was this idea of using Aiqus as the discussion forum platform for all the courses, rather than each course having its own separate forum. Aiqus was used by AI class during last session.

Although I am not aware who was behind the development and operation of Aiqus.

iamabhi9··on All Stanford Online courses delayed until further notice.
They cite administrative reasons in the email but no professor or teaching staff has said anything in the open. The twitter accounts of the classes did not say anything clear regarding the reasons.
iamabhi9··on Looks like a bunch of NetBSD code was used in Sony PSP. Fun!
I am not a NetBSD developer. I put in the title what I felt, but did not intend to initiate a flame-war on licenses, and therefore edited the title.

I don't think the NetBSD community complains anything about such issues. (At least I don't see it anywhere in their discussion forums).

Changed the title. I think I made the title sound more negative.

Alright. Updated. I did not want a flamewar :)

Surely, everyone is welcome to use the code. But (IMO) some sort of contribution back to the community whether in the form of code or funding would help the ecosystem, especially when a large company like Sony is concerned, which can easily afford this.
iamabhi9··on Signed up for Standford's courses and haven't heard a thing?
You can check the web sites of the respective courses or better check here: http://class-central.com/. 5 or so classes are starting from the 23rd of January, I think one is starting from 30th of Jan. And rest are starting in Feb or March.

Well for people using non-Windows and non-mac operating systems it is pretty much locked.

EDIT: Just found out this tool for accessing iTunes University on GNU/Linux: http://tunesviewer.sourceforge.net/

iamabhi9··on A Lua interpreter in the NetBSD kernel
That was a Google Summer of Code Project. The code is now part of the NetBSD kernel and being maintained in the official repository. A NetBSD developer gave a talk on this recently at a conference: http://people.freebsd.org/~pgj/bsd_day(2011)/materials/04_mb...
