Google Chrome OS9th July 2009 Yeah, well I'm not really expecting it to happen. But I'm just considering that Google has a lot of money to push things with, and I don't like the notion of yet another OS to break us poor programmers apart. |

New PC Deal Discussion9th July 2009 I'm using a laptop, because I like being able to move it around easily. Obviously. Unless you feel that you really need this I would recommend getting a desktop, since it's a bit cheaper. I also think you should build your own, since that's also a lot more*snip* |

Google Chrome OS9th July 2009 Google seems to try to expand into all different kinds of areas; with their Microsoft Office web clones, the Wave protocol, Chrome and now an OS. I really hope that this new OS doesn't really take off though (i.e. more than just a couple of percentages of*snip* |

The Wednesday Workshops2nd July 2009 I see your reasoning with the Wednesday Workshops. I'll admit that I've had a good time making entries (of varying quality!), and I have a couple of unfinished ones too. So, WWs stay put. But what about the competition? Anyone interested in a SoCoder comp*snip* |

The Wednesday Workshops30th June 2009 Seems to be fairly little interest in changing the WWs. I'm slightly disappointed, actually. How about a real competition then? Not a reoccuring one; a one-off event, an actual competition with prizes, judging and rock n' roll? We have never had one. This*snip* |

Menu bars are superfluous30th June 2009 At least partly. In Firefox I have it tucked away in the top-right corner, on the same row as the address bar and the search bar. If I could, I'd remove it altogether. But the menu bar is so useless in many other programs too, or at least only used for a h*snip* |

Fast inverse square root29th June 2009 Found this while browsing about the net, and I thought it could be useful (or at least an interesting read). Lengthy explanation, for the mathematically inclined. [code] float InvSqrt(float x){ float xhalf = 0.5f * x; int i = *(int*)&x; // st*snip* |

20p could be worth a mint29th June 2009 On the topic of small coins, I found a 5 öre coin the other day. That's approximately 0.6 US cents, or 0.4p for you Brits ;) They haven't been produced since 1984. |

The Wednesday Workshops28th June 2009 Have a look here: list of all Wednesday Workshops. Looks nice, doesn't it? The first competition had a whopping nine entrants and the following had eight of them, which is also impressive. Relatively, at least. Browse away to the pages more close to today*snip* |

Michael Jackson.. RIP27th June 2009 Yeah, wait to see the day I die. Twitter will go bankrupt due to bandwidth problems, temporary newspapers will start up only to document my corpse's smell, and I will be pronounced world president posthumously. Or if not, then at least in my dreams. It's *snip* |

Michael Jackson.. RIP27th June 2009 He hadn't had a concert since 1997, and was about to perform fifty concerts in a very short period of time. His mental health wasn't what it should have been either. Think of all the pressure; this would be his last performance ever. I say that he died out*snip* |

New Logo18th June 2009 Didn't think about the 'S' missing when I first saw the logo, but it's true that it is a bit weird that it spells oC. I still like it anyway. |
