In the document they released they made it clear that the server had been located and compromised. An image of the server from July 2013 was part of the evidence in the indictment. While I hope a dead man switched was flipped it doesn'

I think this is a really well argued article. There is a problem in the technology community and its not just a minority of people. There is a pervasive acceptance of misogyny. Its not just the cowards typing death threats its the casual re

Definitely a nice app in a crowded market though. What do you offer that say something like Draftin.com doesn't?

Samurai Jack is perhaps one of the most perfect animated shows of all time. Hyperbole be damned there is something about that show that struck a nerve with me. Some episodes had almost no dialogue. It was just awesome.

Cool idea but it just blew up the font to an unreadably huge size for me. Using an external camera mounted on the monitor in front of me.

Looks good, though I'm not sure how I feel about this queue system. I understand that they're claiming its to make sure they can handle the numbers but I can't help but think it might also be a clever marketing ploy. Kind of like how when n

Some recommendations for people: Omnilingual by H. Beam Piper, known for his alternative time line stories. Beyond Lies the Wub, by Philip K Dick, a collection of his early short stories. A Princess of Mars, by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The be

While I'm not willing to go so far as to condemn Aaron I do find the sudden cult of worship around him and his work disconcerting. He did some great work and his death was a tragedy but at a certain point all the virtual grieving about him

I haven't been as heavily invested in the Android ecosystem in a while but I can't help but get the feeling that the writer of this article had made a decision about which version he thought was better long before he set out to write an art

And suddenly I'm on Reddit.

There seems to be two kinds of articles floating around in regards to "cyberwar" this one, which I feel underplays the potential dangers and those that stick to Panetta's Pearl Harbor-style prediction. I think both fail to capture the reali

Its good to see Apple making an effort to improve their security. As market share for Macs grows the potential value of creating exploits/malware for them does too. Going for someone with such a strong reputation is a good move but she will

You're right. I guess what I meant to say is that we won't see the same kind of manufacturing we did in the past. As in we won't return to the "glory days" of manufacturing as a primary employment sector.

There was an article posted here yesterday about General Electric moving home many manufacturing positions. Their plants which at their peak employed 20k people had dwindled to just 1,300 or so. In the process of moving the jobs back they'v

Maybe its just me but isn't it slightly unsavory to after just getting unbanned to immediately make a post about the process of getting unbanned?

I really wish it had a "Mark all as read" button. Until then, I'll stick with Sparrow.

I'm a big fan of The Verge. They are a step ahead of a great deal of the competition. That said, a lot of the criticism is dead on. They, represent, though, major trends in tech writing all around. The Verge just set itself up to rise above

I've never understood Apple's willingness to bend over for carriers. Its always seemed to me that they've tried hard to foster an image of a company that exists to serve the customer as best they can (though, sometimes they think they know

It scares me how strongly and violently geeks fight the idea that privilege exists in our community. As a white man I recognize that opportunities and advantages I've been afforded due to my race and gender. A poster here honestly believes

I hate to be a naysayer but I'm not sure how helpful this would be to your average poet. Things like rhyme and meter counts are rarely involved in early drafts of poems. If you're shooting for a certain style or form typically you keep that

I think the SomethingAwful forums have become vastly underrated these days. I am confident that if there is something I need to know I can usually dig up a thread and an expert to help me out from technology to rare synthetic hallucinogens.

I've been looking for something to get me started on SQL. I'll give this a read and provide a more detailed comment as I finish it.
