This is a crowd funding campaign for an inexpensive FPGA board with a simpler HDL with an web IDE. I first heard about it at 30c3 (video links below) and I think it's a great starting point for everyone who always wanted to play around with FPGAs but found it too difficult or too expensive to get started.
I was thinking about this, too, when I read his name.
Whereas Europeans generally pronounce his name the right way ('Nick-louse Veert'), Americans invariably mangle it into 'Nickel's Worth.' This is to say that Europeans call him by name, but Americans call him by value. [1]
This was a very graphic and easy-to-understand explanation of indexes in general. Although I thought I understood indexes, it helped me understand secondary indexes better. Thanks for linking!
Did they ever write the promised second part where they wanted to present B-trees in a similar form? I think I understand B-trees, but it wouldn't be the first time I realise I didn't really understand something after all...
Is there a dedicated graphics processor or switchable graphics in this notebook?
This might explain the rather big difference in battery time since many Linux graphics drivers are not power-optimized and switchable graphics does not work. [1]
Anecdotally, my rather old notebook (Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pro V3205) runs cooler, quiter and longer when using Linux compared to Windows Vista. I still get slightly more than 2 hours out of my battery (3000mAh left). Maybe this is less of a problem with older, well supported hardware.
Please change the title. "Lulzsec suspect arrested scotland yard" implies to me that it was the suspect who arrested scotland yard, whereas the suspect was actually arrested by scotland yard.
Did you extend Pandoc or Gitit? I would be very interested in extending/changing Pandoc slightly, but so far I got along with doing my changes with sed and writing some inline LaTeX.
If you extended Pandoc, do you mind giving a pointer to your source? I write Haskell poorly, so an example would be appreciated.
I'm actually writing my diploma thesis using Markdown and Pandoc. Some hacking is necessary (sed is so far sufficient), but it's a lot more pleasant then writing LaTeX directly.
That's what I get now using Opera 11.11 32bit on Linux.

For people like me, who didn't know what "Silk Road" was in this context:
It's an anonymous market for drugs using Tor. [1] Bitcoins are used for paying.
