This is a place to pay our respects to the ones we lost. Those loved ones and visionaries that shaped the world that we know, that entertained and educated us, whose loss we felt in our souls, and those the world is a worse place without.

I can't remember his name, he was the guy who pretty much was the father of all code we use. c++, fortran, python, all that stuff started from him. He died last year and made no news. Now I feel awful cause I can't remember his name.

Jeremy Lin

Beast!!! Didn't even get drafted.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
Hey my team (Warriors) were the first to sign him, but because they already have Monta Ellis and Steph Curry, he would have been relegated to a backup role. Plus they wanted to clear up cap space in the beginning of the season to try and sign DeAndre Jordan so they had to waive him. It's great that he has found a team and a system that works well for him, but we'll just have to wait and see when Stoudamire and Anthony come back and they want the ball ALL THE TIME, how will he be able to handle that? Hopefully they let Lin flourish because they're winning and beating teams like the Lakers or else they'll start losing games again.

Lol. The warriors are my team. I had high expectations for this year but currys damn ankle. We needed deandre. Its funny because his brothers go to my school and he wanted to be in Oakland but he was restricted.

I have to say I'm impressed, but I don't think he'll do this well for too long. Players just have to get over the initial shock of the situation haha.
It's great to see him put up such extraordinary numbers. Not trying to be a skeptic. Just being realistic here. There's no way he keeps this up. His stats are currently inflated by several factors:
No Carmelo Anthony
No Amare Stoudamire
No viable alternative at PG for the Knicks.
Once Stoudamire and Anthony returns to the lineup, Lin will have to give up a majority of his shot attempts. He still might hit for 10 pts (give or take). I'd expect his assists totals to hover at around 8 per game.
It would be really interesting to see what happens when Baron Davis is finally ready to hit the court.
He's fantastic *-* He's carrying out NYK without Melo and Amar'e!

Seriously though. I don't really care about basketball, but the only reason everyone goes crazy about Lin is because he is an Asian playing basketball. Same hype that was with Yao Ming. After a while nobody talks about you anymore. Which is why I like hockey. If you are white or black, if you are a good player we respect you, not because you just started playing ad scored a few points.
shut up... it has nothing to do with him being asain
maybe because he didnt get drafted
maybe because he got cut by 3 teams
maybe because he almost got cut 3 weeks ago
maybe because he went to 4th string to 1st string

Please explain these terms to someone who isn't familiar with basketball terminology. Also that rant was due to me living in NYC, and all of a sudden everybody liking basketball.
I have to admit seeing him play, he is pretty pro. Makes some of the other players look bad.
I love it how the mainland and Taiwan are fighting over his heritage...most probably he'll say he's first and foremost American...and proudly

Let's change this up a bit!

Almost everything on this website is electronic talk. Let's change is up.
Wild Animals. My favorite, the Alaskan/Timber/Canadian/North American/Mackenie Wolf. The largest of the living wolf species.
People rant and rave about never own a wild animal as a pet. Saying they will attack people and not be friendly etc. WRONG. If you raise any wild animal from a baby, it will have bonds and know how to interact with people. In my case, a timber wolf.
Countless times people have raised wild animals and they were called vicous wild creatures, yet, never attacked anyone, or was mean to anyone. Only social, friendly, and like a normal pet. It's happened with lions, bears, tigers, wolves, and various other dog species and breeds as well as felines.
What's everyone's take on this? Anyone want to go slaughter some idiot trolls?
Many people in my area (CT) and north of me breed wolf Hybrids.. and I hear more issues with huskies than hybrids. its all about the owner if you ask me. breeds should not be ostracized when a select few dogs are improperly trained.
It's almost like beliving racist steriotypes.. not all Muslims are terrorists, not all African Americans like fried chicken eventhough Idk who doesnt
Of course there's a lot of talk about phones/electronics...it's XDA!

I really want to go to Alaska to photograph it. Also I'd love to head up north in Alaska, like where it takes 5 hours for a medic to come help you. There are some beautiful places there...and cheap corner women in Anchorage, at least thats what the Discovery Channel told me.
I suppose it depends on where you are at.

He said boiled in soup. Mostly because there is no fat in the meat, it's all in the blubber layer, like whales. He also has eaten a beluga whale. He was married to a native woman at the time. They are the only people that can eat them.

No, you can't eat them because your ancestors didn't eat them. It's a hierarchical thing.

Very true, hes so well-rounded and down to earth, he's the complete opposite of a fanboy.
He's pretty impartial but he's far from down to Earth. Some of his ideas regarding tech and patent licensing are probably never going to happen. For instance (and I'm paraphrasing here) he thinks Apple should agree to license all of it's "General UI" elements for a reasonable fee. That will never happen, Apple has invested too much on it's UI and that's the only real advantage they have. Also he want's iTunes for Android. Where's the logic in that?
That said I have a lot of respect for him and wish he still held the reigns at Apple.
