On the results, rather than displaying the % of votes that each subject received, it would be more helpful to show the % of voters that selected it. Instead of this: Total voters: 613 Total votes: 3168 Designing data structures (543 votes

I'm seroiusly having difficult time figuring out how this is a "sexist" statement. It definitely is sexual, but I can't see how it would convey that women are inferior or that they don't belong. Honestly though, I'm not a woman or programme

I'm suggesting that any group that limits itself accoring to race or gender is unaccecptable. If these hacker groups are white only, then we need to break down the barriers that are keeping minorities and women out rather than starting new

To me it seems that if every thing is going to be broken down demographically to this extent, there will have to be: Black Girls Code, Hispanic Girls Code, Native American Girls Code, and then additional groups for minority males. At that p

The major problem with this is that the article assumes that this app being "the best" timer available is an infallible fact. Perhaps the reason that this app isn't being downloaded by every user imaginable is that they are either content w

Typically when I see door desks, the whole point is to be as cheap and as quick as possible (ie take a big, flat door and throw it on some cinder blocks or makeshift legs). In this case, it seems like those in charge of furnishing the offic

In this case: Woman: (Speaks Farsi) Apple: Excuse me, but which language were you speaking? Woman: "Farsi, I'm from Iran." (Direct quote) Huh, it is pretty ambiguous where she is from.

It's similar to how Apple takes most of the flack for human rights violations at Foxconn when many other companies (including Acer, Intel, HP, Dell, Sony, Toshiba, etc) have their products manufactured by Foxconn as well.

The problem is that as soon as Amazon starts gaining brick and mortar infrastructure in more states they'll have to start charging sales tax in those states and they'll lose some of their price advantage.

While I certainly use stores as showrooms quite a bit, mostly book stores since I usually just look for books to buy used or for my Kindle, but if they can manage to impress me with their service and they have reasonable prices, I will buy

I'm still waiting for the mini-series adaptation of The Diamond Age, which I preferred to Snow Crash, that has been "in the making" for something like five years now.

I actually thought about this long ago and, if I recall correctly, it was illegal at the time. It appears as though the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (Jobs) Act may have removed those restrictions, so a crowd funding investment operation

I don't understand why this keeps happening. When someone designs the user/password model for a website or software do they serious not even consider properly encrypting the passwords? This is not rocket science, implementing a relatively s

Not to say that stealing other's content is okay, but I could certainly understand "borrowing" images to use in games when you're just starting out. I actually think it's usful because you can make clones of your favorite games in order to

I actually see this as a good thing. Occasionally people will publish e-books using content that doesn't belong them, such as a compilation of someone else's articles, etc. This action proves that Amazon is trying to crack down on that sort

I agree that the same exploits used to jailbreak iOS devices could be used to install actual malware, but what could third party anti-virus software do that Apple can't? If the OS can be exploited, the anti-virus software can surely be expl

tl;dr - I went to college, stopped watching "cable/satellite" TV and I haven't missed it one bit. Though I did keep my televison so I can watch good shows/movies and play games. Before I left college I was one of those people who watched TV

This is honestly the best advice that there is. About 11 months ago, my MacBook Pro was stolen from my house. I didn't keep a password on it as any of my secure files were encrypted, so the theif did use it for a bit. I had installed Prey,

So will the bus/taxi drivers or chauffeurs. Honestly though, we can't just stop progress because a group of people will lose their jobs. If we did there would still be elevator and switchboard operators, chimney sweeps, etc. And then where

I'll probably pass on this one. I used Coda 1 for a bit but then moved onto TextMate when I started doing almost everything with Rails. The one Panic app I still use often is Transmit, so I wouldn't mind if they worked on upgrading that now

This reminds me a lot of what happened with the signs for the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie. Although it seems that the judge in this case is taking this way too far as the lamp doesn't even look remotely like a bomb. He'll likely be release

Cool. Now this definitely happens, likely sooner with more out of the box support, and I still get a T-shirt (assuming everyone on Kickstarter doesn't drop their pledges now). So, it's basically a win-win-win situation.
