It's not just SSH, it's also a scriptable serial terminal with total control over how fast things get pasted in. You learn to appreciate it when you're deploying a building's worth of switches and you've got your character send delay timed just right.

It might sound funny, but in my day to day work?

SecureCRT, SecureFX, Wireshark...then there's Photoshop and all of the games that I buy from Steam and never play because I have kids...

I'm far too set in my ways, and I've never found anything equal to SecureCRT on any other platform.

Android Source Code Gone For Good? 362

Posted by samzenpus from the not-for-your-eyes dept.
First time accepted submitter vyrus128 writes "Many people were upset at the revelation, reported here in May, that the Honeycomb version of Android would not be open sourced. But Google promised that the next version, Ice Cream Sandwich, would have full source available. Now that ICS is out, though, the source is nowhere in sight. In the thread, Android's Jean-Baptiste Queru offers the following, as to the question of whether source will ever be made available: 'At the moment I don't have anything to say on that subject.'"

The Science of Stout Beer 205

Posted by samzenpus from the tiny-complex-bubbles dept.
An AC writes "Mathematicians invented a new method to can and bottle stout beers like Guinness while still getting that satisfying head. From the article: '... a crack group of mathematicians from the University of Limerick, led by William Lee, has modeled bubble formation in stout beers in detail. Their work suggests that lining the rims of cans and bottles with a material similar to an ordinary coffee filter would be a simpler, cheaper alternative to the widget. The team’s calculations show that a copious number of bubbles would form from air trapped inside the hollow fibers making up this lining. They have just submitted their work for publication in Physical Review E and are hoping that industry will soon begin testing their proposal.'"
