Interesting read, nice to see a movie making this kind of effort. On a side note: I watched this movie on a streaming site... (i.e., I watched it in poor quality). That was a bad choice. The plot, storyline, and dialogue is kind of weak. Th

The gratuitously large amount of whitespace in comments pages is a little off-putting. The very, very light gray meta-info text on white bg is hard to read in the comments container; as is the kind-of-blue text on light blue bg. The icons a

He authored the RSS spec at age 14. He may not be the greatest prodigy, but as far as I can tell he's one of the greater prodigies. I do not think it is a hyperbole at all to label him the 'greatest prodigy' of our generation. He made gre

Naturally, the next progression is to get this system working for an Occulus Rift device. Because I would feel too constricted not being able to responsively look around as I do in real life. Fun to think about!

If anyone saw the Oprah interview, I think it's clear by now that Lance Armstrong is a sociopath. Even his admittance was a very calculated move intended to curb additional financial loss (even though it was supposed to be a tell-all interv

You have completely and absolutely missed the point. Changing MAC addresses (upon every restart) is something I do too. It is an extremely easy thing to do. That such an obvious thing will effortlessly add to a list of charges, amplifying t

The SAMSUNG EcoGreen F2 HD154UI hard drive pictured is 1.5 TB. The alleged JSTOR archive torrent making the rounds is 35 GB. If Aaron went through the trouble of getting a HDD 1+ TB, it means the JSTOR files probably amassed to a size indee

Which is still curious, because it's common knowledge at this point that the numbers are fudged. Why even display it at this point? It serves nothing but to cause confusion.

Heh, that makes the three of us. Though, I also was using Bootstrap in addition to HML5+Backbone+Flask. But I think I'll abandon my project (I was in the earlier steps either way), study you guys' efforts, and work on something else.

You've hit the nail on the head. I think there is one answer: boarding schools. It's not a panacea, it's certainly not going to solve all of the social problems, but it's one way to get significant progress.

You know what's infinitely sadder than Reddit having fun with stupid memes is Hacker News never missing a chance to look down upon them and deriding them as inferiors. It's getting to be pretty pathetic and cliche. So let's just tone down t

Considering minor releases happen every 8 months or so (i.e., Django 1.6 will be released latter half of this year), I'm thinking that'll be enough time to work out the kinks for running Django on Python 3. I do want to point out that it wa

Can you comment on how this technique is better than simply having AdBlock extensions in browsers? They seem pretty reliable to me. But maybe there's an advantage to having adblocking at router level? If so, please explain.
