Nobody has mentioned the less geeky but still excellent remake of The Saint. A film that started a life long love affair of phones with keyboards (hacking scenes with one of the original Nokia 9000 phones, which I have owned the 9290 and e9

Where can I get one? I have seen that the Chinese manufacturers who made the scooters for Bird, etc. have been taking advantage of the discarded units by selling conversion kits to turn them into normal eScooters.

I never quite got the setup right, but Rocksmith seemed to live up to the promise of "guitar hero on a real guitar". It came out during a time when spending my free time tinkering with computers became much more important than ti

Hard to say what's going on, but if he was a spy that is a plausible response. I've known ex-govvie infosec folks who get calls periodically from their contacts in government about Chinese state-sponsored spies embedded in big tec

Or really, there is very little difference between trampling the constitutional rights of naturalized citizens vs. natural born citizens. If the judicial branch chooses not to check that power for partisan reasons, they will continue not to

If they are doing this to non-citizens, it is a matter of time until they start doing it to citizens as well. Soon it will be stripping naturalized citizenship (which they have floated already). After that, they will just lock up native b

Hey remember that time MSFT got hauled in front of Congress for shipping IE with windows and making it default? Yeah, they do way worse shenanigans now.

I'm in a very similar boat. I never went in for the full-on barefoot running, but did jump in on the Vibram 5 fingers bandwagon (still love them), and even today prefer minimalist shoes. The switch to forefoot striking helped me a lot

You have nailed it. Americans have that puritan history in our cultural consciousness so we do not even feel comfortable having rational discussions about it. Politicians use that to their advantage to get onerous bills passed "for t
