Comment I left coz they sucked (Score 1) 250

I left instagram a few weeks ago. Not due to the new rules. But to its amount of problems. a) The privacy settings are a joke! b) Spamers/clickforlikes flooded my pictures. c) Most pictures where either stolen or ego-pics of duck-face teen girls or boys trying to show off their tiny muscles. d) the client sucked

Comment The Cuckoos Egg (Score 1) 700

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Cuckoo's_Egg_(book) by Clifford Stoll It's about when the Astronomer Clifford Stoll was asked to investigate in a missing 75cent billing in the computer system and he is threwn into a Spy-hunter trail, ending up in an arrest of a West German hacker spying for KGB. Upon reading it I was struck by the inginuity of ways he had to trace the hacker. Also proves the thesis "its the small misstakes that takes down the big thiefs"

Comment Bad food, Sugar and good computers. (Score 2) 240

Sounds like utterly bullcrap to me. The main problem with ADHD is that kids are feed with sugar, sugar, sugar and well more sugar. On top of that all other additives and factory made food that some people put on the table. I mean it's not killing the kids giving them pure water instead of a coke?

Anyway correctly used and not used as cheap baby-sitter, computers are great for kids. The best example is learning kids to read and spell. If you cut away the pen/paper and not force the kids to try to write the letters first but instead let them type the words, sounding etc directly on the computer, they break the reading code much faster. thats because the kids dont need to booth learn to write the letters and sound them at the same time. First understand the letters, then write them by hand.

All in all, learn to cook real food on the thing called "STOVE" at home, throw away crisps, candy, coke. Pure meat contains far more Proteins and good fat than a Pizza and tastes way much better. Dont let the kids play video-games unguarded every day. Send them off out in the woods, make them attend to sports or other social activities. Using the computers as baby sitters is just plain stupid.

Submission + - MS Kinect SDK comming to a windows near you! (microsoft.com)

fredr1k writes: Microsoft figured there is some movement in the Kinect hacking scene. They have now announced a Kinect SDK for Windows. (Though only for Academics & Enthusiasts)

Ever since the November launch of Kinect for Xbox 360, enthusiasts and academic researchers alike have expressed their excitement and intense interest in the possibilities created by the products ability to enable users to bring games and entertainment to life without using a controller.

While Microsoft plans to release a commercial version at a later date, this SDK will be a starter kit to make it simpler for the academic research and enthusiast communities to create rich natural user interfaces using Kinect technology.

Seems like they took impression from the hackers and embraced their movement!

Now I only wonder who is going to implement Kinect controll into Media Portal and XMBC?
