$500M buys a lot of lawyers though.

I'm afraid it's much worse than that, even. You don't even need to use the internet. You can be walking down the street and an hour later, unbeknownst to you, your picture makes it to the front page of reddit. It could be t

That's true. It would be nice for a true alternative. I still think about it from time-to-time. My Scheme project was to be a SchemeOS. It wasn't even the sheer amount of work that got to me, and ultimately did it in. It was

This is pretty cool. But the problems I see are infrastructural scaling issues. To get a 2min throughput, you'd need at least 15 batteries stored below. That may sound reasonable, but then you realize it's only Tesla. And prob

Pretty sure he meant debris, not trash. Stuff that falls off trucks because it hasn't been properly secured. I've had a number of close calls due to large items blocking entire lanes on the freeways.

This is incredibly similar to an assembler I wrote in Scheme, almost a decade ago. I was using Bochs and even unit testing with NASM. I think people are going to be disappointed, if they can even get this to run in Bochs. About the only &

I don't consider a web UI as anything more than a temporary workaround for when I don't have a native mail client around. They all tend to suck. Even gmail's. Try roundcube if you must.

My brain hurts from contemplating what you wrote. The point of gmail is that they take the configuration and headache of maintaining a mail server away from you. If you're okay with running your own qmail/sendmail, then there are

Yeah, I don't see it. This is Dot Com Bubble 2.0. Nothing but hype. I don't care how many teenage eyeballs SnapChat has. You don't suddenly become Tencent or LINE or whatever tomorrow's out-of-the-ass comparison will

The iPhone 5c surely cannibalized 4s/5 stats, no? I mean, in prior generations people would purchase last year's model. But this time they got the 5c instead.

Not only that, but that bit of Q3 code was at one point in time a mystery to even John Carmack. Which is why it has the "what the fuck?" comment next to the magic number. Eventually they did track down the guy that authored that

So many comments from people that have obviously never even downloaded it and tried it out for 5 minutes. Unity3d comes with Mono Develop ( http://monodevelop.com/ ). That's their default editor. However, you can easil

Huh? It's free for commercial use. You really can't beat that. I doubt you will need the advanced (paid) features of Unity unless you are established and have a team of developers. In which case, you can surely afford $1500.

Who is going to trust Obama? Then, who is going to trust the NSA? Only fools. James Clapper lied about what the NSA was up to, to Ron Wyden, a member of the US Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Clapper has still not been charged w

This article is literally advocating a cargo cult. I've seen sharks jumped, but never this high and this obvious.

Not sure what you mean. TRESOR prevents cold boot attacks. If your Linux OS is compromised, TRESOR wouldn't help you anyway. But that's not the point of it, either.

If you're storing passwords on disk, you're going to use something like bcrypt ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcrypt ). The way it generally works is you keep a user's encrypted pass with a unique per-use

For Linux there is TRESOR ( http://www1.informatik.uni-erlangen.de/tresor ). It uses CPU registers, which can prevent this sort of attack. However, you're limited to one encrypted drive with this method.

You know why you can do that? Because you have hindsight. You see exactly where the business went. And this is the same damn trap all neophyte developers fall into. "Let's rewrite!" Once that first wave of business request

They riot by calling the White House. "Too big to fail!" And yet, surprising, not too big to be considered a security threat to the entire United States. My , what lovely clothes you're wearing today, Emperor!

Wow, that site is great. It's like John Nash and a librarian had a secret love child. Organized thoughts are clearly a virtue, but not quite his forte.

Oh god. It's Perl. And no need to drag it through the mud here. It's pretty much the only language that gets Unicode right. It has nothing in common with the abject misery that is PHP. Perl came out in '87. Erlang came

I barely trust Guy Steele with macros. You know who I don't trust with macros? Random JS coder dudes that haven't learned what true hardship is, when debugging a macro that is 5 levels deep and subtly changes the language becau

The games I tend to play the most, are the games I paid full price for. The simple reason is because I anticipated those games and waited until they came out. I still browse the Steam sales. But I rarely buy. Steam has pulled off an amaz

Of course not. VCs are in the business of inflating bubbles. That's how they make money. Andreessen has every reason to claim that we are not seeing a bubble situation here. But to pull Tencent out of your ass and compare it to Snap

How does one get from Snapchat to Tencent? Just because Bob down in the van by the river is making soda pop in his wheelbarrow doesn't mean he's going to be the next Coca-Cola. Even the mere suggestion takes so much credibilit

You would assume CNNMoney would be more concerned with the CEO's lack of a business plan rather than his lack of apology. Let's get our priorities straight here. I mean, if you're not making money, do you really have a busi

How the hell is James Clapper still in office?? Isn't what he did so obviously perjury? The America of 2013 is absolute bullshit. I can't even fathom how corrupt this country is.
