Switching from one provider who definitely logs data and turns it over to the Feds to another provider that at least claim they don't log the data. Granted, you still have to take DuckDuckGo's word for it, but I wouldn't call

Are you satisfied that the federal government will tell the truth?

I don't? I honestly don't know that. If my hosting company does, I'm sure they would pass that additional cost directly to me. I don't see a problem here.

So, the problem is that bandwidth is limited. There isn't infinite bandwidth available. You're dissatisfied with the way a monopolizing ISP is choosing to ration bandwidth. Your solution is to have the government, through legislat

Nah, that's a rookie mistake. You don't want to be the guy caught doing that when a real call comes in.

Guys. If you ever think you might be stuck in a meeting as described in part 2, you can set up a rule on ifttt.com to call you if you send them a text message. That way, you can pull the same trick with a single phone.

Yes, I think Project Glass has been pretty clear about this being a first run device. That's why the participants are referred to as "Explorers". The point is to start mapping out use cases and fine tuning the UX. Source: My

Isn't it more likely that in both cases, large companies changed course in response to overwhelming user feedback and are trying to cover their butts with "oops, just a bug"?

I know, right? I mean, complaining about a major social network straight up asking for your email account password is just so WHINY! Especially when said social network has had major data breaches in the past. What could possibly go wrong?

Wait. In order for this to work, wouldn't they HAVE to store your email password in plain text? O_O

True. Congress could pass legislation allowing states to manage copyright. I won't be holding my breath for Congress to vote itself less power.

In this case, I completely disagree for the reasons I cited.

The problem with this approach is that copyright laws are strictly Federal issues. It's one of the few powers that is explicitly granted to the Federal government. Where one could make an argument that states ought to regulate things l

Actually, it's working as intended. The Founders specifically wanted to avoid the impact of niche factions on the process. While, they didn't set out to create a 2-party system, per se, the alternative is actually much worse, beca

I feel like your argument basically distills down to: "All flat designs look alike." Surely, that's not the case. And as I've been messing around with IOS7, I'm noticing a lot more than just a graphical redesign. Th

Shoddy API's are not unique to Checkout. Most, if not all, of Google's API's are actually pretty terrible. When they DO update their API's it's pretty rare that they tell anyone, and they never update their documentation. So, a workflow tha

I'm no expert on orbital mechanics but aren't the Lagrange points unstable critical points? Or is that only certain Lagrange points that are unstable?

I feel like there is a lot of context missing for some of these slides. Will there be video available of the talk?

With the new Federal regulations stipulating that anything that originates on TV must be captioned when streamed over the internet, Boxfish will be able to get a fairly comprehensive picture of what's going on.

It's really difficult to get a stable orbit that won't eventually decay, and even if you did manage to get a long-term stable orbit, a random piece of space junk could send it into a decaying orbit.
