Having been part of a clique who spent a lot of times playing Tank Wars* I wonder how I could have missed this variant! * I even made a basic Tank Wars clone from scratch in one day because of a bet with one of the other guys.

Yeah, they really like their soft targets, don't they? On the other hand, a gathering of young men who believably signal that they're totally down for a bit of street violence, now that's not such an attractive target to conf

My first action after getting XP at work was to set all the UI-options to "performance". After that it just looked like an iteration on NT, i.e. it didn't give me eye cancer.

I've once read a blog entry from a developer who was hired to speed up some piece of software. He achieved a few hundred fold speed up. Not primarily because he is so good (though he is), but because the original developer had a large

What are you talking about? When Germany was a fragmented host of smaller principalities and free cities, before the Prussians "unified" most of it, it was in fact prospering quite nicely!

No, absolutely not. This will only serve to prop up a false confidence in correctly signed videos. So in the end you're giving all the power to black hat groups and three letter services that can procure the secret keys from the camera

As he developed more and more into an anarchist throughout his life, I suppose he was not a fan of Empire. But he was a stout catholic and somewhat conservative.

I suspect that after augmented reality wearable glasses we'll transition to AR contact lenses first, and maybe even stay there, before we go to full-on implants.

Meh, that's just the kind of dealing in absolutes that gets on some peoples' nerves. I agree that in almost all situations gotos are probably not the best choice, but there are still situations where gotos are a reasonable option,
