Learning Three.js: merging geometry (or how to render 60 times more cubes)

qr code is about easily passing data to your smart phone.

The most common application is give url to your phone. android 2.2 got a feature to push links from chrome to android phone.

with qrcode, you can do it from any browser to any smartphone.

One could write an plugin for that... one js including all what is needed. display a small icon on the page. when the user click on the icon, a large qrcode open, and the user can scan it and go on on its phone.

just suggesting

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jerome-etienne/neoip && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nodejs <- to install node.js 0.4.4 on ubuntu

backbone is super nice, i wont be the one saying otherwise. It isn't the same scope tho. It does event emitter and much much more!

I like micro frameworks (aka tiny libraries) because it is standalone and so small you can easily maintain it yourself if needed. So it is less an actual dependancy.

I updated the ubuntu ppa deb to 0.4.0

To install node.js 0.4.0 on ubuntu do

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jerome-etienne/neoip && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nodejs

here is comments for a french startuper. You give several reasons:

tl;dr : regulation: true but not that much. mintel: irrelevant now as its past problem. langage: very true, crititcs: missed but quite big.

Long version:

- regulation: yep france got many uselessly complex regulations. This slow you down in creating and running a business.

- minitel: the impact of this weird custom computer was big during the 90's. Its delayed the arrival of internet in french households. But all that is now way passed. for example: france got an internet bandwidth which is fast and cheap.

- cant speak english: i believe this one to be very true and true significant. French are well known to be crappy with foreign langage. Even in the computer industry, many french people got trouble even reading english. This impacts the ability to get information by reducing the scope of what you perceive. not sure how to formulate this. but this is big :)

- critics: i think you missed one tho: french people do love to criticize. this is deep in them, as if it was in their blood. This impacts entrepreneurship, because starting a business is very risky, and taking a risk is to lay oneself open to criticism. many "i told you so" kindof remarks.

ps: yes france is very centralized in paris. even if some delocalisation happens because employees are cheaper outside of paris.
