Because companies are largely still operated by humans, who make mistakes. There's a difference between "oops" and "let's systematically abuse this system for our benefit". Granted, I think there should still be a penalty for "oops" moments

The site has a "cyborg typology" ( http://stopthecyborgs.org/2013/03/03/cyborgs-a-typology/ ) and seems to be completely supportive of "type-1" cyborgs like yourself. It's the other ones they have issues with, particularly type-4. I wish th

The "Guestbook" got a chuckle out of me. Haven't seen one of those in years. Then I realized that we just call them "the comments section" now and put them on every article.

When Google first announced the Android OS, my first thought (after "that's silly") was "What will Google do when they want to release a line of actual androids?". Deep down, I'm hoping they're de-emphasizing the Android brand so that they

The PS3 does allow screenshots, but the game gets to decide whether or not to let you do it. Press PS button and browse over to the Photos section. There will be a screenshot option if the game OKs it. Sadly, most games don't seem to have i

Animals on the tundra would probably have thick coats or other insulation and might be able to overheat themselves in the right conditions. A human could shed its clothing to cool down. It's also possible that potential prey in this area is

As a Florida resident, I can anecdotally confirm that the "What if we nuke it?" question circulates fairly often. Usually in years where a powerful or damaging storm appears, especially when places that don't usually get them are hit.

Color would be great, though I think monochrome syntax highlighting would be a fair compromise for a first generation device. Bold for keywords, italic for comments or maybe strings. Maybe a few extra monospace fonts if you need more than t

Git (and Mercurial and friends) have event hooks that can be used for a variety of automation tasks. For instance, I have a repository that consists of Sphinx documentation for a project. When my webserver's copy of the repo receives new ch
