He has an earlier blog post on how he designs his slides. Not extremely informative but csn give you couple of tips on how to get that zach holman look. Iirc it was in response to the how github uses github to build github talk.


Here's the blog post I think you're referring to.

I know of another Israeli security researcher that had big trojble getting an american visa for travel, he had to cancel his trip because getting the visa took 5 months IIRC.


Actually, from the Mossad example, many of the more "known" Mossad deaths have been from bombs. So you can say that at least some spy agencies have a pattern.


Then move. To a different city or a different country. It is a very difficult thing to do but you shouldn't be miserable for a third of your day!

Get yourself some good skills and apply to jobs you really think you want instead of whatever the local industry has to offer.


Yes, though actually moving isn't all that hard compared to all the other things you do one a daily basis.


That's why you've got the touchscreen.


SC2 at least uses ~half the keys on the keyboard. Anyone above the absolute bottom rung (bronze) is going to use these extensively.


Have you been around the tech world in the last at few years?

Current gen consoles came out in '05-'06, by 2008 a strong having pc could easily be built to surpass them in abilities (strong gaming PC - ~1000$). By 2010 that goal was achievable on a more sane budget (let's say 600$).

Now you want to say: "hey z999! You said 300$ in a few years!, this is 600$ in five years!". Yes, but the next gen console are much less powerful compared to the market than what the current gen console were compared to the market in 2005. Remember how the PS3 cost 600$ and the Xbox was 500$ (I'm not certain on the Xbox price, it could have been 400$)? Well, next green consul mess know that there is no reason to lose money on hardware because that doesn't win the race, meaning they are probably equivalent to a 1000$ PC TODAY, so following the past trends we will easily see HSA arcade of equivalent power in the 300$-400$ bracket.


It costs the same as the wireless X360 controller for windows, does it have any advantage over it?


Much better layout IMHO, and compatibility with DirectInput API (used in some games).
