I think the best rebuttal to this article would be Sal's TED talk: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM95HHI4gLk In particular, he doesn't present the Khan Academy as a full replacement for primary education, but as an enhancement. In the se

I don't mean to take anything away from your valid criticism, I'm just curious; what would you have them do instead? I've been running the native UI build for a while and it is such a huge improvement. It's totally worth it for the browser

http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=list&type=documents The doc in question is All.log++. There's a lot of really cool information spread across that site, though.

Most definitely. There's another really good doc on Super Mario World that compares a lot of similar chunks of code to their counterparts in the Super Mario Bros. 3 code, which SMW was based off of.

Not to ignore your other points, but there is now a proposal being worked on for having an extended support edition for business deployments: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Enterprise/Firefox/ExtendedSupport:...

As far as I know, Chrome releases every 6 weeks as well. If you switch to working with Chrome you'll be working under the same rapid release schedule.

I run Aurora and use the Add-on Compatibility Reporter[1] to disable version checks and run any add-on I want. For most of my add-ons this works fine, but if there is a significant API change an add-on might not work correctly. But if you w

I don't know if you should consider this a failed attempt; the pastebin release implies that they were just "warming up" before the FBI attack. Perhaps they wanted more and failed, but perhaps they weren't aiming to compromise them like Son

Pastebin of the release: http://pastebin.com/QFJN82X4 It's apparently nintendo.com's httpd.conf. Most is just a huge pile of url rewrites.

You're forgetting the cost to change your home setup to support standing. Of course, you can go very cheap and use cardboard boxes to hold up your monitor and keyboard.

As this is turning into a "What do you use?" thread: I use Publisher. I can precisely position everything on my resume, align it to a grid, etc. And if an employer only accepts doc files, it's trivial to copy-paste the file contents to Word

Trying to delete stories? He nominated them for an open discussion to be decided by an admin. But that doesn't sound nearly as malicious. There are valid criticisms about the AfD process, but most people are blaming Chris as if he just walk

Is there any way you can make the results public so we can see them, or are you going to wait before sharing?

http://www.romhacking.net/ is an amazing resource if you want to find documents on the inner workings of older game consoles. The SO post already links to bsnes, which does an excellent job of balancing readability and accuracy. It's stil

This is amazing news, and I hope that someday we will be able to buy a game itself, instead of buying a game tied to a platform. In an even more amazing world, Steam is a protocol, not a service, and anyone can run their own digital game di

I understand the need for good typography and design and the importance of readability. I agree that they are important factors in web design. But really? Unreadable? The typeface isn't THAT bad, nor is the website design THAT horrible.

Upvote because I believe you raise a valid question. The enforceability of the contract depends on many factors. I'm no lawyer, but from what I remember from my Computer Ethics course and from some quick wiki-research[1], most cases revolve

Technically yes, except with a PS3 your purchase amounts to agreement with the EULA; it's tucked away in a manual that no one reads, or at best is shown to the user on a screen during setup which is simply clicked through. Most people don't

Romhacking.net is one of the best sources for console inner workings. I've been using for SNES internals and found everything from the official 65c816 manual to the SNES Developer Manual Nintendo used to send to devs, to text documents with

The way to approach this problem isn't to write the emulator to run in the browser, but to build a remote client that controls the emulator running on a more powerful server. Not only do you get the benefit of the server's speed, but if mul

A couple months ago I couldn't sleep and modded vNES[1] to run on a server and host a WebSockets server, and wrote a Javascript client to interact with it so you can control it from the web page. All people looking at the page can simultane

These types of articles always give lists of books to read. I understand how important reading books are, but I've almost never been able to read a book about programming and get anything useful out of it; my brain just doesn't retain knowl

Google can obviously afford to handle this kind of case, but what resources are available for individuals or small businesses who can't afford going to court with a patent troll?
