I'm all for opting out every time; I plan to do it myself. Moaning and threatening sexual harassment borders on childish, though. Not because the new pat downs aren't sexual harassment, but that your double standard of "moan with straight m

Do you drag-and-drop to a folder on your hard drive, or to a box on your website, or to something else? Also, do Crates, as I assume they're called, expire? As in, I can set a folder that deletes files an hour, day, week, etc after they're

I always find myself frustrated when a site doesn't actually describe what it does. So far I can only figure out that Crate is for sharing and may be similar to Dropbox. I couldn't find an FAQ on the site and don't want to register until I

It's a similar risk to using a file sharing network though. It depends on the type of files you're downloading, of course, but lots of people don't check an EXE before running it. Although you often have the wisdom of the crowd when downloa

Water. I used to drink an unhealthy amount of Pepsi One, but recognized that it was never making me any less thirsty. It may be boring, but it's cheap (free), plentiful, and effective. The only downside is that I have to rely on willpower f

Currently working on a Super Nintendo Emulator in Java for my senior project in college. The intent is to make it easy to embed the emulator as an applet and link it to a ROM, save states, etc. so visitors to your site can play an SNES game

Does this apply when using the Export options in Fireworks, is it just for saving as a Fireworks PNG?

Admittedly, 20 years ago the amount of effort and cost that went into the next level wasn't nearly as high as it is now. If all that work went into making a level, why would you actively try to keep the player out, especially if it might im

I thought the idea was really cool and appreciated not having to decipher warped text to fill out a CAPTCHA until I saw this example: http://www.solvemedia.com/images/uni.jpg Your site would have to provide a LOT of value to make me want

The implicit assumption here is that the game is always more fun with items and platforms. Personally, I find it more fun to try and become a better player. Learning new ways to glitch the system, how to counter different strategies. From a

It makes me angry that a company that appears to go against my ideals is so popular and successful, because I believe my ideals are better. It's not in any way a good argument, but I might as well admit it rather than claiming otherwise.

The variety here is awesome, and I agree that outdoor or physical activities are usually better for you... ...but yeah, I just play video games, watch movies, read books, and code side projects. A former roommate gave me a bunch of his old

I'm having a really hard time believing the scenario where a user follows a shortened link in a re-tweet, sees the bit.ly warming page, assumes that the original author is trying to spread malicious stuff (and that the re-tweeter, whom this

I agree in that I'd like to be able to tip people for good articles (I've started donating now that I have more income). But I don't think good will is a sustainable source of income, or at least not one that will work in the general case.

I've always heard people suggesting that one should disable Adblock on sites that you like to support them. But I'd think most people who can will still block ads (I do; they're distracting). Trying to support the site by disabling ads seem

In regards to summer internships: I'm just about to intern for a second year Electronic Arts. If you saw a resume with two consecutive internships at the same place (same position and team, too), would you think better or worse of it as com

One does not have to be an idiot to be forgetful, or perhaps tipsy.

That trick with the forward slashes is awesome. Now I'm trying to think of other cool designs that can be done using just large, cropped text.

A lot of the articles I got looked odd and messed up because of the content being chopped into your site. Webcomics especially suffered (Hark a Vagrant didn't even display until I opened it in a new window). Perhaps an iframe or something s

My boss is the sysadmin for my school's CS department; there is an IT department that every other department uses, but they're slow and useless. For the longest time, their servers were named after ships, such as Bismark, Arizona, Enterpris

I know very little about Stallman beyond his role in the GNU Project. What pain is he referring to that makes him wish that he had never been born? The loss of hacker culture?

Every time someone brings up LaTeX I bring up Pandoc. It's an awesome conversion tool written in Haskell that converts between a number of input and output languages, most notably from markdown to LaTeX or a PDF made with LaTeX. I've been u

I find it odd to try and spend time with someone I like while other people are around. The 1 on 1, "Let's do something like ping pong or a movie together" model seems more natural to me. (I'm 21, for a generation reference)
