Diamonds would be a good example too, right? Platinum would be even better in this situation, I think, because it has more practical uses than diamonds.

As tectonic links, Wolfram Alpha gives the same result. I'm not sure why we haven't found any more lately though, but the information seems to be correct. The wikipedia page is interesting. We have discovered new large primes since 2008, th

Sorry, I didn't mean that you have submitted link-baity titles lately. I don't think I've read any of your submissions and if I did I wouldn't know it :) The thing is, you left out some information that transforms the way the title reads to

"Field programmable gate array that's 4.2x faster than a 16 core CPU", theoretically and only in regards to 64-bit floating point arithmetic. What's with the link-baity titles lately?

So, uh, how long until the novelty of writing old programs in a new framework wears off? edit: although that is a pretty sweet implementation

The article says that being a veteran doubles to quadruples ones risk of suicide. That's not shocking. The 25 times number does surprise me but it's veterans, not necessarily veterans of the current war. So there'd be, what, 10 times as m

Is it really shocking? I've always been a desk jockey but it's war. War. Killing people, people trying to kill you. Friends dying or being injured, sometimes disabled for life. I can't imagine I'd handle that well.

My favourite part is half-time, when the flame-war overseer yells "Change Places!" and everyone has to argue for the other side.

Even so I haven't seen one link backing up the "quote" from reddit. If it was true someone would have provided some sort of verification by now.

Yep. I have many fond memories of LAN'ing with my friends. I also spent more time playing mods for D2 than I did playing vanilla. Hell, my favourite mod is still being actively developed: http://modsbylaz.hugelaser.com/

"Online Only" sucks. No LAN and no mods make me a sad boy.

Because that's what happened. They've bought up all the current stock afaik. The other tablet makers will be behind the curve by at least 6 months, maybe a year.

I was about to go "Yeah but the prices in Australia are so much higher than in America, rah rah rah" but the base price is $539 here. Honestly I'm shocked.

Actually he specifically mentioned people with families. ' “People were telling me I need to think of the Yahoo rank and file, folks who have families, but the talent market in Silicon Valley is so hot right now, the only folks staying at Y

I don't know how to make great sound effects but you can make passable "retro" ones with sfxr. There's an online version, have a play (note the randomize button): http://www.superflashbros.net/as3sfxr/

Right, but 10 different people winning $850 in small claims court from AT&T would be newsworthy. It might convince more people to follow in their footsteps.

Where can I get a Matt Cutts of my very own? I like fun gadgets too.

Huh, I didn't know that. I was working from memory and didn't read the article. I wonder if they still sell the shirts?

by Jimmie 15y ago
Case and point: Two years ago Hot Topic started selling "rage guy" t-shirts. The internet decided it would be having none of that and coerced the meme "rage guy" into "race guy" by pumping out tonnes of racist comics. Hot Topic were forced

I couldn't figure out what to do either. One of the few flaws in HTML5 is I have no idea if everything is still loading or I'm just clicking in the wrong places.

Oh, I understand that. The "search" feature of reddit is just so underwhelming that it doesn't even really feel like a feature. It feels like it's just a temporary kludge. External sites are so much more useful it's crazy. Google lets me se

As a reddit user here is my experience. Reddit's search tool is terrible if you want to find a thread about a specific topic. It only searches for exact keyword matches and only in the title, not in the thread body. Add to this the fact tha

As apathetic as I am towards anon, lulzsec and hacktivism in general sometimes I can't help pausing and thinking "I live in a would where people are battling digitally. That's fucking cool."

I read the first paragraph, scanned the rest of it and assumed that it was satire. Checked the url, that looked right so I thought maybe they got hacked. It's unbelievable.
