I always said that reading social cues is the ultimate use for Glass. Just that I always figured it'd take a more creepy stalker direction.

If ANYONE knows, it's folks on G+.



FAT32 sucks! Specifically, I want a file system that handles unicode file names and can move files between Linux and Windows. Seems like a duh, but also seems like, if something exists, everyone I know would talk about it. Help?

Can we see into the infrared spectrum just by changing diet?



I've been saying "All science is computer science, essentially complexity science, because if you could do it without computers, it'd have been done by now." I guess I was wrong.

Missed a detail.



Watch the scene after they bust Slimer, where Peter is talking to the hotel manager. Look for Peter looking to Egon. Peter is talking, but he's getting the prices from Egon.



Also, when Ray gets pushed forward to deal with Gozer, Peter says "Get her", as retribution for Ray yelling "Get her" in the library.



Great movie, good review.

+Robin Gingerich , would I be right to guess that the middle of Ft Wayne Regional Maker Faire might be just the wrong time to come talk to you about what you do and how you're organized?

Found this through an Atlantic piece on computer-generated music. The article complained about the dynamics, and sure, Bill Evans would never be that heavy-handed, but the audio samples would be much improved by putting the generated MIDI through a better piano patch.



And I think the Monk was nearly un-Monk-like, but that could just be me.

I get why I was wrong. Re: Database WTF

In a line, date_time NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP . Specifically, ON UPDATE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP . I did not want that. I wanted to default to current timestamp, but I didn't want it to change. Well, in one case, I think. Not ...
