Way back when everyone played Quake, there was no central server list, and GameSpy was how you found new servers. I installed it and kept it upgraded a number of years, until I no longer needed it.

I don't think that solved the problem of cost, it simply changes who pays for it. Less scarcity, lower barriers to entry, and more competition are what decrease costs. That could be done with the government paying, but it's harder.

The problem is the number of PhD's doing "nothing" after education is going up. "You don't need a PhD to do nothing, man. Take a look at my cousin: he's a dropout, don't do shit."

The footnotes wouldn't have made any sense all the way at the end. My favorite footnotes on a webpage are when you can hover over the superscript, and have the note floating there. That way, they wouldn't interrupt the reading.

Wouldn't the Google glasses allow her to spend more time looking around and at you instead of toward a phone?

You can look at the DC Code from links here http://dc.gov/DC/Government/DC+Courts+&+Laws/DC+Laws , but you cannot have it to re-use or republish. The guy posting does a lot with open maps, so he probably wants to reuse the data in mo

I was wondering if they took their font from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, or if they both took it from the same place.

The disagreement is over the definition of "advertisement". Is creating a link to something "advertising" it? If the words were the same, but not hypertext, is it still advertising? It was kind of funny how most of the page is linked, it'

Interesting; I finished A Handmaid's Tale last week, and the same thing had happened to the main character's family. Everybody had stopped keeping cash, and without their bank card working they were powerless.

The site does not host or link to copyrighted work. I think he thought of a way to make this happen without breaking the law (himself).

If Tesla sold millions of these cars, lots of people would not read the web page or manual about special maintenance conditions. It makes perfect sense to write a review from the perspective of average or below intelligence.

I think the only goal is to show more advertisements, especially shopping advertisements. It's nice having more than one big company for search/webmail/etc.

It worked pretty well. Going back to the webpage picked up where I left off in the game. Bad for people who shouldn't be procrastinating :)

I only have a couple of hours per week to work on side projects. I'm shy to "release" anything, because there is no way I could support it. If someone else had the time to contribute improvements, I'd rather they fork it and use for their

There are some basic C++ and C# Minecraft clients that people made for fun, but the real benefit of Java is how mod-able it is. There's actually a lot of tools for taking apart the minecraft.jar and putting it back together with new featur

That's less than I expected! Back at the height of their popularity, I remember hearing that AOL could lose a lot of money every second their servers weren't showing ads.

Are there any formulas that relate the complexity of the expected output with the time it takes the genetic algorithm to find a solution? I'm guessing it starts taking years after not too much difficulty.

Windows will warn you about files downloaded from the internet, too. It uses "Alternate Data Streams" feature of NTFS to mark the file. I suppose once you delete the file, the alternate data stream is gone as well. From what I read, alte

It's the network effect, AT&T and Verizon have the biggest networks, therefore the most valuable. Apparently there are lots of pre-paid plans that do what you want using the big networks, not to mention T-mobile and Sprint with their sm

How much all this quality reporting and presentation cost? I have a feeling that in-depth journalism doesn't pay for itself.
