When will a *coin virtual currency make calculations useful for science? I can't help but feel this whole thing is total a waste of energy.

If your results depend on hardware, software and so on, what you are doing is sampling from the solution space. You can then model that distribution and perform significance testing vs that distribution. What is the probability of your result being correct? your result belonging to the true distribution?

Statistics over mathematical proofs. That's what you want to do.

After looking at a lot of alternatives, I settled on OwnCloud News Reader. The android app is still being polished but the browser interface is great.

I think you've just found how to save rss.

Please don't, people will be so much more creative...

The typedef is on user_struct.

Reading only the article is so outdated...

Here is the current structure proposed by the organizers for storing the social network.

struct user_struct {
        int user_ID;
        char * name;
        char * account_handle;
        int number_of_BFFs;
        user * BFF_list;
        int scratch;
};

The BFF_list field is supposed to contain the list of friends of a user. The proposed type, user*, suggests that it should be implemented as an array of user. This means that if a user is in your list of friends (stored by value in the array BFF_list), you cannot be in his list of friends unless you both have the same friends. It can only represent non-symetric friendship where each user is involved once in a BFF_list.

I would suggest using type user** for this field.

What you learn at university is not about technology, it's rather
- to be curious and to explore avenues that you don't know: this will help you draw those lines between opposing domains that no body had seen before
- to multitask, meet deadlines, and work under pressure (why would you need that?)
- to communicate with people who don't know what you are talking about (customers, boss?)
- to teach yourself new stuff.

I really don't like it when, to make more ad revenue by having me click through, story titles and summaries are abbrev...

A PhD is about science, not money. With a little bit of luck, you'll be in for a startup project, but otherwise, there is no big money making in science.

On the other hand, it's going to be very interesting. When you write your thesis, you will learn something about yourself: how you can cope with frustration, and how you can do stuff that you though you would never be able to do.

But it's all like professional sports, only a few make it to the top.

Unlimited data implies unlimited bandwidth as time is fixed (be it monthly, yearly...)

Please admins, where's the API?

How about using a common random prefix followed by a phrase unique to that system? Like:

Xhk645k_networkaccount
Xhk645k_elevatedprivileges
Xhk645k_hrsystems ...

You only have to remember the random prefix, the second part being much easier to remember.

To security experts: would that be secure enough?

This technology is only intended for one thing : Digital Rights Management. Delivering binaries, that's what they want to do...

The Samsung Galaxy i7500 is supported by a fork of the fork called GAOSP, available in alpha at http://code.google.com/p/gaosp/. This kind of saves this 1.6-only device.
