It's not that ridiculous when you think about it - certain breeds are worth ridiculous amounts of money - how much longer until we see genetically engineered proofs of pedigree integrated into the DNA of the cats themselves? Perhaps so

Haha, seems appropriate given that the rocket in question looks exactly like the first thing everyone builds in KSP once they get the radial separators.

It'd be really great if NASA found some particularly charismatic engineer to act as a colour commentator and talk about the technology at play. The silence while we wait for a new launch time is peaceful but a bit dull...

Admittedly looking at the figures on ustream it's a lot more popular than I thought it'd be, but still less than the higher end of what you see on Twitch, and they don't get to plan when a stream goes viral.

It boggles my mind that a 12 year old playing DOTA can reliably stream to an audience but NASA can't figure it out. EDIT: Seems they've swapped their stream for the ustream one, guess they can.

Unfortunately I could easily see that happening.

I imagine he's saying that they're more likely to be detected and raised as concurrency bugs because of the tool, as opposed to remaining mystery "I swear it works on my local box" bugs like so many race conditions do.

If a neighbor has unprotected wifi it could feasibly connect there and start phoning home.

I imagine he'd be dodging collections. EDIT: If his insurance hadn't paid it, obviously.

While I don't think it's a great solution (give up my vacation time to do more work?!?) I'm surprised so many people think this only plays to the employer's advantage. I've been in a number of interviews where the p

Pretty bad to see from the BBC, but at least you don't have to sign in to see it.

Generally I find that two monitors is useful so I can have a browser or android emulator open in one and the code open in another and easily switch between them... I'm guessing Linus doesn't do a lot of UI development so it doesn&

$15 worth of $3/gallon gas can take an efficient car a long way - there's a pretty big gap between paying that to travel 100 miles and paying it just to not drive anywhere for a few hours. It makes little difference to the wealthy

Looks like some random brit decided he was finally going to get around to making that blog he'd always wanted and just happened to pick whytheluckystuff.net as his domain, which was conveniently expired. He's currently staring at

What big products? The only one that I know of is blogger. Google also recently stopped supporting it and made it an independent open source project, which is a mark against it. I'm not sure where you got the idea that the compiler was

Nice to see that they've made the Android sender apps dependent on Google Play Services rev 15, but not actually released that yet. Guess I'll keep on waiting for the _actual_ release.

by Untit1ed 13y ago
That'd be easy enough even before the release of the SDK - open the video on the Chromecast, audio on the sender app, use the websocket connection between them to keep them in sync, Bob's your uncle. Making it so that you only dow

by Untit1ed 13y ago
The problem is that a chosen few got help to put their apps on there and be first-to-market, while everyone else was left in the dark with no documentation and not even an expectation of when the SDK would be released. Up until today it sup

I can't imagine why you would want to list 1 star reviews first... generally 1 and 5 star ones are the least informative (either "I'VE PLAYED FOR 5 MINUTES AND IT'S THE BEST GAME EVER" or "MY PHONE CRASHED WHIL

Makes sense... can you imagine how many 12 year olds are gonna find this as a result of googling "Xbox 360 emulator" and send him poorly spelled emails about how to install it on their parents' iPad?

You're right about him being funny - when he's demonstrating all his half-finished games it reminds me a lot of Carrot Top's prop comedy.

True... I'm guessing what they're getting at is that the execs want to focus on the boys at the expense of the girls - they'd rather have just 60 boys watching the show than 50 boys and 50 girls, because it's only boys
