Currently 20% off on Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/391540/ And as to the other commenter's suggestion to watch a playthrough, I know that's a hot-button issue for some people, but I do feel li

Does anyone know if there are plans to incorporate "powerline" symbols, a la https://github.com/powerline/powerline ? Or are those already Unicode compliant, and simply missing from most font libraries?

Compartmentalization really needs to be a mindset as well. As noted in the article, certain user behaviors can also create linkages between otherwise disparate online personas, e.g. visiting a common subset of sites or visiting sites with l

gog.com is becoming really popular, and I actually had a really good experience dealing with EA Origin's support earlier this week. Sure they're not as big as Steam yet, but they're getting big enough to be competitive.

Call it petty, but hearing their official statement secondhand makes it feel disingenuous to me. They have more appropriate channels in place for that sort of thing, including email, their two official Twitter accounts, and their very own w

I really hope this catalyzes Valve to create a proper customer support team, one that can publicly address these issues in a timely manner as well as handle day-to-day customer support problems. It's ludicrous that a company as big as

Brian Krebs is a security researcher partially responsible for uncovering some of the biggest credit card leaks in recent history. It's his job to "antagonize" the credit card black markets. He's not just some internet

Location History is opt-in, and Google sends you frequent email reminders that you are opted in. I have email reminders in my gmail account dating back to 2011 when it was still called Latitude. If you want to see this info and/or enab

Windows is not special. Android is not special. Apple is not special. I am equally upset at any operating system that chooses to collect and store information about me and how I use my device without my knowledge or explicit consent. You do

My display breaks often as well, but I can't tell if it's my AMD drivers or Windows. Either way, it's more steps than should be necessary to just "put things back the way they were" when it happens. I haven't d

There are some things I love about Windows 10, like virtual desktops (welcome to the 90s Microsoft!) but there are some things that irk me: * Pretty login screen photos, with a link at the top-right saying "Like what you see?". I

Treating drug addiction as a disease instead of a crime would go a long way towards reducing overdoses and keep otherwise potentially productive members of society out of prison. At the very least, amnesty should be offered for addicts that

I recently read a theory that the origin of the name "white elephant" is due to an Asian ruler gifting albino elephants to people he did not like, as they were very high maintenance and would become a financial burden.

Regarding point 1, what's stopping Google from leveraging those patents now, if point 2 allows for even a sliver of potential? I mean, a single function seems to be causing Google quite a bit of grief in this lawsuit, so that seems to

The idea of facial recognition as a form of security has been around significantly longer than the technology itself. It's in sci-fi and spy movies dating back to the 80s. The idea to use it as a means of authorizing payment should h

While that is in the guidelines, it doesn't seem to be very strictly applied. I think the goal of the guideline is primarily to have the opportunity to get to know the project in order to critique it thoroughly, and sometimes a present

I'm not sure that's a fair comparison. The original commenter's suggestion was to "modernize" a train route that runs near their campus. My assumption is that the route is currently functional, only missing the requ
