Unless you're just generally curious of the company's internal process the details of his action/inaction to resolve a DB issue are completely unrelated to the dispute on wage.

I think companies forget the concept of compensation and its relation to attracting talent. You don't pay a person necessarily what they deserve because you'll often fall short. You pay what is necessary to secure the talent you require

"When you consider that the only thing that stood between Facebook and potential annihilation were my ethics" I want to disagree with this. The source code leak wouldn't end Facebook. So what if there were hundreds of clones? The secrets th

200 is on the low side? I'm amateur and hit that commonly during games. I think JulyZerg was on record to hit 800 at one point. Lord only knows how that was physically possible. I would credit the source to TeamLiquid's Wiki (I believe) but

Funny. "This will probably get downvoted into oblivion" is my pet peeve. There's just something that irks me about a person who is putting up their opinion voluntarily seemingly knowing that it will not be reciprocated by others but provide

I would hope the US has similar privacy laws to Canada where a company that is solely responsible and has access to your personal data is required by law to use that data only in the ways you have explicitly permitted. If the company wish

You're right and you're wrong. Blizzard DOES use the beta for hype. With SC2 they gave beta keys to preorders to help generate revenue and interest prior to launch. Not a lot of participants actually know the reason for a beta and actually

I think he's ramblin' off on a joke regarding how reddit.com/r/diablo took every single ounce of change in regards to Diablo as a "sign of the beta" or more recently "sign of release date". If twitter of any blizz guy was updated? SIgn of t

I don't have a source on me (Work blocks sites that I could link to) but they have confirmed that there is a console port coming. I believe they have a small dedicated team to the port.

The thread where mkjones is parent explains why mostly. The issue is that you use remote utilities hosted by other resources but as people already pointed out there are utilities provided already that essentially allow this. What " ru " wou

I think of things differently: regardless of the definition of property the entire issue generated between the piracy side and the content generator side is that of ownership and possession. From the Pirate's point of view they see the situ

I'm doing a coding competition on Saturday and my team has decided on a Windows Desktop app using the provided APIs so I naturally had to get my laptop running Windows. Since I already use my valid Win7 key on my desktop I dropped on a Virt

I don't think Tribler will solve all the problems and creates more issues for those less technically oriented. Until someone comes up with a novel bootstrap method that is truely decentralized and robust there will always be a single point

This doesn't actually surprise me. If you consider the role of random brute forcing via dictionary attacks is to locate the appropriate order of tokens that work together to create a coherent meaning you're essentially not providing any m

Remember this is all situational. I imagine the FBI gets hundreds of tips daily but can't act on all of them without enough mounted evidence to take it seriously. They may have had tips earlier of the attack but they couldn't verify in time

They're creating the assumption that Chinese Gov't or independent parties are hacking systems for gain. The statements of "they leave no trace" or the like attribute to the fact that there isn't any evidence through google or otherwise. As

A cool little feature to vi also is the inclusion of sed-like commands... :%s/someword/some-other-word/g is a valid command to exchange the words throughout your current file in the same way you would with sed. Also to note is that the use

I want to refute your point with the mention of Stuxnet. Please correct me if I'm wrong but up until now there are no groups that have owned up to the virus. There's evidence and much speculation to point it towards Israel gov't but no defi

Depends on how you look at it. To me their business models are about understanding their users and exploiting their behaviors for more revenue. Understanding their behaviors in regards to email usage is one of the ways they work. To me "und

My apologies for my poor explanation. You're entirely correct with what you've said. The model they employ certainly is broken if it doesn't account for the possibility that not everyone falls into their ideal customer. When I said that "it

Regardless if it is still law I imagine you could get out of the contract in the event they pulled this. Contract Law is pretty clear on what is allowed within contract negotiation and having one party modify the contract agreement (regardl

I think you're off base on this and are looking at the issue from a single side. The "Unlimited Data Plans" are cooked up through marketing departments that take a broad look at the numbers their network can ideally handle and conclude that

Without Googling for statistics wasn't WoW peaking around 13mill subscribers? A ~20% decline is seemingly quite a massive hit if you ask me and would definitely warrant a few layoffs.

I don't think they contradict my assumptions so much as hit it from a different angle. Reality TV is sort of a more professional way of users creating their own content. The cameras/production and the like are still controlled operations bu

Now I'll concede and say you may be right so long as the contract or ToS reads that way. My intuition would tell me that when a user agrees to allow youtube to use their content as a revenue stream in exchange for a cut of the revenue then

My personal view on the topic isn't whether we're getting smarter or dumber overall its the mediums we're capable of expressing these traits through. Throughout history the only people who were given face time on radio/tv (internet wasn't a
