There's a pretty big effort jump between writing an article and approving it for editing, in addition to writing involving you intently think about the story for a significant amount of time. This means that any ethical, financial, pr - rel

You're only technically correct because of how averages work. Novice computer users make up a major part of Apple's demographic, and often times their products are more suitable. More specifically, there are a number of features in Mac OSX

Did you get data on how other students did? I received an A in a science/tech/policy class which I didn't do half the assignments for. Talking around a bit, everyone else I knew got an A as well.

The domain is non-descriptive, and .info is typically associated with spam. It also looks like you're in a flux state of completion, with not a lot of detail. I'd suggest limited your scope and making a smaller, but more polished product, b

I also used to believe Unicode and UTF-8 were different types of encoding until someone corrected me. I just remembered why I had thought such a thing in the first place: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.text.encoding...

To be fair, the confusing structure of anonymous, and the multitudes of 'alternative' press releases under the name of anonymous certainly confused the issue. As more people joined the occupy protests in SF, new issues started getting mixed

I think the actual "worst part" is that the guy who was right is a guy which most people find repulsive.

E. I used it for 5 months before switching to IntelliJ. Code completion isn't worth using in Eclipse on large projects, it often took an entire second to show up. Partial building happens on every save, which seems like a nice idea, but on

Is there more to the story that you know (considering you used to work at Digg?). You're claiming that leadership at Digg didn't attempt to retrain these programmers new projects, which is a pretty substantial claim. Also, I don't see why R

First off, both iTerm and TotalTerminal were very useful and fairly well done. On Mac OSX Lion though, Terminal.app supports 256 colors and split pane (although only vertical stacks). I don't know what use growl gives me, but having to upda

Same here, we had to abandon usage of it in favor of a simple json-tcp bridge. We were looking at 100ms+ for communication between two ec2 instances; with straight tcp it was closer to 7ms.

With Minecraft in particular, I'd hypothesis that much of the piracy is done by under 18s who don't want to try and justify the use of a parent's credit card or paypal.

The SF situation is completely different. Padmapper shows studios ranging from 1400-1900 depending on your distance from the financial district, and areas really close (SOMA) have few openings, mostly 1-2 bedrooms in towers (3000+ easy). Li

I agree with the implication of your last question. It would certainly make sense for google to integrate Google Plus directly into their core product. I haven't thought of an exact path this would take, but if you're branding an operator,

I'm an engineer with a pretty keen eye for design, but I've never understood these font wars. At a certain point, whether your serif is 3% longer, or the loop in the letter a is downwards or upwards, none of that helps or hurts readability.

Pragmatically though, you'll never be able to stop new advancements from seeing the light of day. Blocking MIT from researching this won't stop the NSA or defense contractors, and even with a fair government, it wouldn't stop criminals. So

This is why I stand by anonymous public disclosure. Companies will not budget for security unless you make them.

>So the fact that the compromised machine is in Nevada and not over Pakistan is pretty close to irrelevant. Well, at least it's easier to axe a box in the room than to shoot down a rogue UAV across the world.

Wouldn't it be vulnerable to simple eavesdropping? SSL can be attacked via MITM, but since certificates are authenticated your browser knows when it occurs. (I still don't know quite how that works)

I've been working on an early stage startup which does something very similar to this, although less celebrity focused and more on common circles. It's funny actually, when Google+ happened, I figured they did exactly what we've been workin
