Living Room / 17 Different Ways To Tie Shoelaces
« Last post by mouser on August 14, 2006, 07:31 AM »
Ian's Shoelace Site: 17 Different Ways To Tie Shoelaces and more

Who'd have thought there was so much technical knowledge and creativity tied up in shoelaces? Most people figure they learned all they needed to know about shoelaces in kindergarten! Ian's Shoelace Site contains all sorts of shoelace information, some of it useful, some just for fun. If you wear shoes with laces (or anything else that does up with laces), you're bound to find something here that they don't teach in kindergarten.

Developer's Corner / What Every Computer Scientist Should Know About Floating-Point Arithmetic
« Last post by mouser on August 14, 2006, 03:43 AM »
I recently went through some stress when I made the mistake of using floating point numbers to represent DonationCredits on this website.  Here is a LONG article (originally from 1991) on floating point representations, very cool though it's a LOT to take in..

http://docs.sun.com/...68/ncg_goldberg.html

Floating-point arithmetic is considered an esoteric subject by many people. This is rather surprising because floating-point is ubiquitous in computer systems. Almost every language has a floating-point datatype; computers from PCs to supercomputers have floating-point accelerators; most compilers will be called upon to compile floating-point algorithms from time to time; and virtually every operating system must respond to floating-point exceptions such as overflow. This paper presents a tutorial on those aspects of floating-point that have a direct impact on designers of computer systems.

Developer's Corner / Make (and play) your own Xbox game
« Last post by mouser on August 14, 2006, 03:37 AM »
Microsoft is trying to turn hard-core gamers into Xbox programmers.

The company plans to show off on Monday a new set of developer tools that will let college students, hobbyists and others create their own games for the Xbox 360 console, for a Windows PC or both.

Dubbed XNA Game Studio Express, the free software is expected to be available in beta form by the end of the month, with a final product available sometime this holiday season.

"The tools we are talking about make it way easier to make games than it is today," said Scott Henson, director for platform strategy for Microsoft's game developer group. Microsoft will demonstrate the new software at Gamefest, a company-run show for game developers that takes place in Seattle this week.

Living Room / "ICE" Your Cell phone
« Last post by mouser on August 14, 2006, 03:22 AM »
ICE YOUR PHONE: In Case of Emergency

Ken Ahonen, MD, FACEP: “Paramedics, Police Officers and Firefighters are trained to search the cell phones of people who are unconscious or otherwise incapacitated for ICE. They will call that number to notify someone and get more information. This is easy and extremely helpful. Sometimes patients are brought in to the Emergency Room and it takes hours to find a family member or significant other to help us. This new ICE system can help in a crisis. Do this right now. Get your cell phone and input a new speed dial with the name ICE. Then assign it the phone number of someone to reach In Case of Emergency.”

i like the idea of a real world gathering in 2010.
if we can make it that far and still all be friends it seems worth a real world trip.

i don't mean to be a wet blanket but umm.. maybe the first DC gathering should not involve dressing up as monsters.  and maybe it should be located someplace that can actually be reached without the aid of sherpas.

ithink the idea is interesting but not going to work.

but more importantly, this is not new - in fact this has probably been suggested 100 times per year since the idea of open source first came about.

and this gets onto slashdot?$#@^*#*&

slashdot has truly fallen to new lows.
