What black magic does this website perform to read and modify cookies from other domains? I thought this mass reading and editing of cookies was explicitly not possible.

It's an interesting question, but I think it can be answered by pointing out just how much effort we've put into trying to build tools around other forms of information. Audio Processing, Image Processing, have all come a long way but they're nowhere near as powerful as sed/grep/awk/etc.

I agree with you though, tools like netcat, ssh, and dd are super powerful without implying any kind of formatting Text works with these by virtue of being representable as a stream of bytes.

Mastering Algorithms sounds great. I live in Tucson, AZ but could paypal you shipping. Is there a particular type of book you would want to trade for? My library is small but has a few gems.

I think this is doomed as a full-time website, once someone has traded a book they want to sit down and read it for a while before they trade again, so there will be very low traffic.

This thing is great as a yearly thread though, wait for all the pressure of unwanted books to build up and then throw them into one thread. Then once the pressure has dissipated wait until next year to do it again.

How does this look?

It's based on C++, and covers state machines, fuzzy logic, etc. It's a little old so there is no mention of behavior trees, but it does cover goal-driven behavior and is a great introduction to most techniques in AI.

There's a bug in the tracker but it's been shut down for now. The google rep's answer was "This is something we've investigated a couple of years ago already and that we revisit regularly. Of course we thought of using the GPU, but there are non-trivial issues on many Android devices (a G1-class device for instance supports only one OpenGL context at a time, which would prevent you from using any OpenGL based app like games or augmented reality apps.) In our past experiments we even found many cases in which using the GPU was slower than normal rendering. New devices might allow us to overcome the past limitations that made GPU support a not-so-good solution. The "choppiness" and "lagginess" you are mentioning are more often related to heavy garbage collection than drawing performance"

I'd love Code Complete, however I have no web dev books, anything in graphics or AI interest you?

I would love to accept it, would you like to trade for Rework, Just for Fun, Getting Real, or any of my numerous books on Java/Linux/C/Game development/AI/3D game development?

I also don't have 20 karma, but brian.ww.com CNAME briancloutier.com would be amazing if you could. Thanks for your generosity!

I don't see the issue here as being the choice of the easiest road, but of the road with the least to lose. There is definitely a lawsuit here if he decides to continue with the product and use the code he created, leading to quite a few legal fees. If he drops it and moves on to another product he is guaranteed not to lose any more money on this project.
