They're actually not bots hey. I'm talking to someone now (seconds person), and they're definitely people. Or really REALLY good bots.



They're people.

At the moment I'm just asking questions about the site. I'm trying to understand why people would actually use it and how it works :P

Connecting to server...
You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
You: lame
Stranger: hello
Your conversational partner has disconnected.
Lemme ask you guys this. Did anyone else contact you to start a conversation, or did you start a new chat every time? Sounds fishy. If I'm idle (not in a conversation) I'm supposed to get invites to chat.

A review is good.
"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.

ASCII Art
This little program converts your picture to ASCII text art - a jumble of letters, numbers and symbols that do not appear to have any significance until you step back and look at the whole picture. It has no practical purpose, other than the neat factor.

commandlinefu.com is the place to record those command-line gems that you return to again and again.

Delete that bloated snippets file you've been using and share your personal repository with the world. That way others can gain from your CLI wisdom and you from theirs too. All commands can be commented on, discussed and voted up or down.
Search commandlinefu from your Firefox search bar using a great plugin provided by sudopeople, find random commands in the archive, or use the tag cloud to access commands.

As networking technologies have developed wireless capabilities and become mobile, Turbulence has remained at the forefront of the field by commissioning, exhibiting, and archiving the new hybrid networked art forms that have emerged.

Launched in April 2007, Networked_Music_Review (NMR) focuses on emerging networked musical and sound explorations made possible by computers, the Internet, and mobile technologies. NMR gathers data about projects, performances, composers, musicians, software and hardware. It includes interviews with artists, articles, papers and reviews.


NRPA continues to be involved in experimental sound projects, for instance, "interaXis," a web and real space sonic exploration held at Engine 27 (New York), the California Institute for the Arts (Los Angeles) and online at Turbulence

I bookmark a fair number of science, biology, physics and maths sites/portals, and decided to post some for those of you who are studying. If you want specific subjects let me know, and i will share.
BioSciEdNet or the BEN portal, the National Science Digital Library (NSDL) Pathway for biological sciences education. A variety of topics from Cryobiology, psychology to zoology (resources here total over 14,000, and they cover 77 discrete biological sciences topics) can be browsed by subject, resource type or audience/user groups, from primary school, to life-long learners and scholars. The portal can be used for free, but some of the articles are fee-based.

The advanced search allows you to search by title, keywords, discipline (subject), pedagogical use, resource type, audience (education levels), author, and author institution.

K, for the students as well (or anyone doing assignments and research)
instructional handouts such as "How to Read an Assignment", "Essay Structure", "Developing a Thesis", "Summary", and "Revising the Draft".

Clearly written with practical advice this is the researcher/student trove of how-tos. Also, a plus for the site is the link to Harvard's guide to citation and integration of sources. Good research!

The journal Nature(if one can afford to subscribe or is a student) always covers good subjects and now have a free podcast every month on some chemistry subject
