The customer service on Anker products is why I keep buying Anker products. These are smart people who realise that spending money on creating trust pays off. They also happen to make solid products.

Unrelated but when I first heard a journalist report a tweet as news I knew he had just made himself redundant. Not saying there was a way for him to stop this.

I'm really struggling to believe there are people out there dying to get the soundtrack. I'm afraid this entry in the franchise will go the way of the matrix sequels. And if your question is "what matrix sequels?", well,

There is nothing you can do to stop me blocking ads. I'll use duck tape if I have to. For everyone else's sake I hope you follow the author's suggestions.

Why do poor people accept the mistreatment by their employers? Why do you complain about the company dumping waste in your backyard - just move to a nicer neighbourhood.

Funny thing capitalism, I have a more robust version of this on my work PC (seriously, makes this look amateurish). Except of course I have the "choice" to not accept it and go work for someone else.

... and no one really noticed. Microsoft could do the sensible thing and sell Android phones.

It's nice someone cares about performance in modern websites. Shame about the BBC being no better than any other clickbait website as far as news goes. Truly, my licence fee well spent. I never understood that. Surely, since you'r

I don't think anyone believed it was anything but a business decision so this is not really shocking. Operating systems are hard, drop Windows and sell your software on Linux. We all know it's inevitable in the long run.

That is blatantly not true. Some people have principles. Look at Richard Stalman, he doesn't sacrifice his principles for efficiency because he really believes in them.

That is fantastically comprehensive. I kept thinking "what about..." and then finding it a few pages later. I'm really impressed. I actually found games I've never heard of. OK, Elona is probably the least well-known cul

8chan providing security expertise and 4chan electing presidents and directing bombardments in Syria. What a time to be alive.

You can't have it because it would show the extent of moderation.

I genuinely can't tell if you're joking. In case you're serious: No, they will work on some legal dodge to avoid the liability. The company does not see it as a technical problem.

I don't work in the IoT department but they use our chips and I can guarantee you that if you make security a legal requirement my company will not hire more engineers, they will hire more lawyers.

Who makes these hateful websites? For the love of god at least provide a "printer friendly" version. It's like reading a roll of toilet paper that randomly jerks and spins. You're supposed to be more convenient than a

Before I moved my career to embedded software I was always incredulous when I read articles claiming such and such device has 100s of chips in it. Now I know this to be true I am still amazed at how many "moving parts" each little

Mine was single player and had no parser as it was intended for touchscreens and drop down menu interface. Also see my reply below - your solution is far more sensible and is what I would go with today too.

I keep my Internet personas separate - just like your throwaway7645 account name suggests you do. It's not that big, I wrote it in between jobs. It's only there so that non-tech people can write stories for it. Nowadays I'd j

I created a scripting language for my interactive fiction engine because the existing ones have too many assumptions about gameplay. It's Turing complete with ultra minimalist syntax using punctuation as the few keywords it has.

Why is it surprising? She gets alimony. In Europe she'd also get extensive state help.

This article is all over the place. I'll ignore the games are "frivolous" angle as they obviously are and that's not a bad thing - you can say that about any sort of entertainment. With my gamer hat on I want to comment

Sometimes it's not an option. I've survived years of solo hiking but I do worry and try to keep to places where someone would find my body within a day and only hike in warmer months.

There's more to the UK than London. You can't knock down buildings here. They're all listed. Where they are allowed to they build flats which go for half a mill (and are sold out before building completes - so much for your c

That makes no sense. If you let people build in the city then they can cycle to work. If they have to live in a village 20 miles down the road they have to drive to work - longer distances equals more pollution. You want to breathe less fum

Never going to happen because it would lower the values of peoples' houses. End of story. I can't afford a house in the city I work in. Everyone I know lives outside and commutes by car which is a waste of time for everyone (add c

Thank you for the public service tl;dr version. Should be compulsory on any article this long. I experience this 'digital natives' lie first hand from my younger family members, it's really disheartening but unlike the author

This is chilling and explains a lot of problems in politics. Does game theory have any ideas about this?
