The Panthers did a LOT more than be violent. They opened soup kitchens, and housed the homeless. They were a terrific organization for helping people int heir communities. The violence and such was, actually, a product of the FBI. Just as t

The FBI was doing a whole lot more than trying to link him to the communists. It was standard operation to infiltrate all civil rights groups. I don;t know specifically what they did to King's org, but the Black Panthers were fucked by

In the heady days of my youth in the early 90's I was foolishly of the opinion that Apple would one day rule the world, and that Steve Jobs would be seen as some sort of Christ figure. I kinda looked up to him in that fashion, at the t

FBI showed up at Noisebridge this week asking about the Tor node again. They said the Chinese are now using it, but I am sure they have more important worries and reasons to come to NB.

Most of the difference here is that our hospitals have to fob off the money they lose from treating patients without health care onto those that do. They charge a lot more because every 5th or 6th person coming into the emergency room has n

I'd wager it's HD's. The government may have big ideas, but it tends to implement insane scale with normal things. Remember, the budget here is in the $80 billion range. Just because they have all that dough doesn't mean

OK, I am gonna catch hell for this, but there is one major reason for having DRM in HTML 5. NetFlix. Streaming video sites are handcuffed to the media owners. Those media owners(Viacom, Time Warner, etc.) REQUIRE DRM in any contract with a

Thirding 4Chan as a healthy community. My buddy insists it's a great community because the content is always being deleted, and thus, 4chan reinvents itself every day.

I think the HD DVD/ Bluray era hasn't seen porn on those formats for two reason: 1. it doesn't matter anymore because the Internet has infinite porn. 2. No one wants to see their porn in HD, as it makes the whole thing kinda grosser. A bit

Where are you located? We have a videogame museum in Oakland, where we are CONSTANTLY asked if we have classes in how to write Minecraft mods... We'd love to offer a class on this, possibly using your materials when they're ready! http://w

Yeah, I was at GDC, and the Squad guys said, behind me in Rocket's talk "Gee, everyone wants resources, we should get that done really soon." The thing I love about KSP is that the tutorial for how to play beyond the launch pad is literally
