This is what I was looking for. Was wondering what implications this had for the games that relied on Gamespy for multiplayer. Would have been a shame if games like Crysis Wars that still has nice multiplayer community was also closed becau

I am purely annoyed that I didn't know that it did this, I can't say whether this is my fault for being ignorant or theirs for not informing me but it worries me that I may have been putting unneeded load on networks that aren't mine, like

You act as if the only difference in high quality clothing is the looks, instead of considering that they may be much more comfortable to wear. People close to me have also admitted that wearing brand name clothing provides them with confid

I don't take this as the author making a protest about the Chinese workers being exploited (and I'm not getting into an argument about any potential exploitation.) If anything this article is just the author highlighting the living and work

I'm assuming that the various ISPs have agreements between each other to not expand onto each others "turf"? Otherwise how does competition not naturally spread? If they do, how do they get away with that? More puzzling to me is how ISPs sq

I also experienced this effect, but only for the scenes where Bilbo was writing with a quill. Everything else was fine for me.

Was this issue with atheletes not debated recently in the London Olympics with the man who had a blade replacement for a leg who was allowed to compete with non-augmented athletes? I don't want to get into whether I think letting him compet

This is pretty much how the book I'm using on Pygame is working. It's a load of games written in Pygame that the author encourages you to copy out and try to learn how it works yourself. Then afterwards he explains in detail how it all work

Can't browse Everlane without signing in with facebook or making an account. What a great way to put people off. The "shop now" button just brings to login window again.

So I've only ever had the keyboard version and was wondering about the page turn buttons. Are they gone in paper-white? Do I have to reach across with a second hand and swipe to turn the page? Because if that's the case I won't be getting o

It's not just this alone that's pushing me away from them, I don't like them much anyway. Their security practices for online banking are pathetic in comparison to HSBC. HSBC gave me a one time key dongle which breeds more confidence than t

It's getting past informative when I see it posted on every story that involves a question mark. It's an annoying HN meme that needs to go away.

I have absolutely no idea, I don't know a thing about making screensavers, but I'm willing to learn if I can set this up as one.

My immediate reaction is that I really want this as a screensaver. Absolutely beautiful. I will definitely take a crack at making the screensaver myself when I get around it it.
