43 Folders: Introducing the Hipster PDA
by 2 othersRecently, I got sick of lugging my Palm V around, so I developed a vastly superior, greatly simplified device for capturing and sharing information. I call it “The Hipster PDA.”
Whitespace
by 1 otherMost modern programming languages do not consider white space characters (spaces, tabs and newlines) syntax, ignoring them, as if they weren't there. We consider this to be a gross injustice to these perfectly friendly members of the character set. Should they be ignored, just because they are invisible? Whitespace is a language that seeks to redress the balance. Any non whitespace characters are ignored; only spaces, tabs and newlines are considered syntax.

HowDidItGoIn.com
(via)I'm writing my thesis on Tiger Woods' remarkable shot on the back 9 at Augusta. My theory, in brief, postulates there is no physical evidence supporting the myth that his shot went in without assistance. That being said, within my theory there are many sub-theories, which can be viewed on this site. Thank you.

The Impact of Real-Time Theory on E-Voting Technology
The implications of distributed configurations have been far-reaching and pervasive. Here, we argue the exploration of the lookaside buffer that made evaluating and possibly emulating erasure coding a reality, which embodies the natural principles of complexity theory. We present an analysis of journaling file systems, which we call Styca.

Terry Pratchett - Gastero Prod
La lune, répéta Dorcas [...]. Et elle n’éclaire pas autant que le soleil ? Ca c’est curieux tout de même. Il serait plus intelligent d’installer la lumière la plus forte pendant la nuit plutôt que pendant le jour, puisqu’à ce moment là, on y voit de toute façon.
