In a relationship and it's complicated.

With wpa_supplicant, eduroam is the easiest to connect to. On Windows I haven't been able to connect to eduroam. In this way, I think the eduroam people actually give preference to wpa_supplicant users (Android, Linux and others).

For an intro (and I mean intro) course in Computer Science at uni, we were assigned to write a Java client in a game called Paper Rules. Establish TCP connection, wait for the master server to find an opponent (another client) for you, and then repeatedly send either ROCK, PAPER or SCISSORS to the server and read the result of the match. To make it interesting, the rules were enhanced so winning a round yielded 1 point, losing -1 point, except when paper won, in which case 2 points were assigned to the winner and -2 to the loser. Our task was to write an "AI" to outsmart the other students' AI.

I wrote a simple algorithm that kept track of the statistics for each of the 18 combinations of [my choice in round n, round n result, opponent's choice in round n+1] and chose based on what the opponent had picked the most in the past. In a match, the winner was declared after 1000 rounds.

Of course, the so-called PaperServer was a <1000-SLOC inefficient by-students-for-students Java one-system-thread-per-connection server running in a Java VM inside a Java VM (yes, really - an IDE called BlueJ) on a terribly underpowered virtual server, so it didn't last long, and anything educational was lost on us that day. Fun times.

You know, registered users can have signatures.

If Pacman had affected us as kids we'd be running around in dark rooms, munching magic pills and listening to repetitive music.

There's Emacs.

Did you try wget? See what error it reports, or try with wget --continue (shorthand -c).

Cool, reminds me of Ipredator. (Pirate Bay To Offer VPN For $7 a Month, Mar 27, 2009)

Bill Gates doesn't care about US corporate IP rights anymore, he cares about his legacy as a philanthropist.

Yes, surely 1 GHz ought to be enough for everyone.

Being halfway through the novel now, thanks for not spoiling the ending.

Encrypted voice is US only, so that's no good for the rest of the world. Also, searching for TextSecure on Market doesn't yield any results on my Android 1.5 device (although the FAQ claims it works on all versions of Android), though 2.2 is fine. Sending encrypted texts to myself didn't work either, it says "Bad encrypted message..." but that might just be me doing something wrong.

FTFY (1/2 of the conversation is 3/2 of what he's interested in)
