I've gotten terrific answers to the questions I've posted on there, for what it's worth. And it was stuff that was difficult to google for (which is why I asked it there).

Think about how flaky translation of written text already is, and then imagine doing a speech-to-text step first. I strongly suspect this isn't ready for prime time, yet. And I'm guessing the potential for hilarious mishaps is fairly high.

It highlights the absurdity of the whole thing, really. It seems hard for TI to argue that it's illegal to post a mathematical fact, doesn't it? Especially one that's so concise and straightforward.

It's true, and there are parts of Texas that remind me a lot of parts of California.

I'm not sure Texas counts as getting close to California... (I've lived in both, currently in Austin.)

Not sure about that. This would tend to promote flame wars, and (on reddit) pun threads.

Perhaps a good time to note the number of concepts that made the crossover from science fiction to science reality?

How about "the buck stops here"?

And one of the best ways would be "just code the thing up". Make some simple prototype and put it online. Doesn't seem that tricky, really.

Hey! If the title is accurate, we can just keep applying it over and over, until every jpeg shrinks to 0 bytes! Yaaaay!

I'd read this before, and was a little frustrated with it, since I'm a fan of C++. However, the points in the OP linked article make a lot more sense to me than some Linus rant.

You sound pretty certain. Could it be that opinions differ? And that yours is not the majority opinion at the moment? You might want to qualify your statements a little bit...

And supposedly the Id guys had zero confidence that the Valve guys were going to come up with anything cool.

Also: Sorry, I thought the topic was PC gaming? EDIT: Specifically my L4D comment was in response to: "A relic from the time when PC gaming was exciting and relevant."

Left 4 Dead. 'Nuff said. (Yeah I know you can play on 360, but it's not as cool.)

I can see why you would feel that way about the phrase "spaz out", but just to be clear: I don't think that's a common view. Saying "spaz out" is not commonly considered politically incorrect, at least as far as I know; I've literally never

I've heard of people bringing their own tape recorder when talking to a reporter. It can be that bad...

The most interesting statistic to me was the one that seems to indicate MMO playing cuts into (or replaces) TV watching time. That's actually kind of reassuring to me. I think it's healthier for people to play MMO's for hours on end, then t

It is a fact that the PS3 is a lot more painful to develop for, than 360 or Wii. Maybe his goal is to get Sony to come out with some better developer tools. Or just stuff that works right, and makes sense. Sony's attitude toward developers,

I'm not sure if you mean it to, but something about that strikes me as derogatory toward 50-year-olds with landscaping companies. They are taking a big risk too, and doing something important, even if it's not as sexy as a 20-year-old makin

I want one so bad. But isn't the service still like $60 a month? That adds up in a hurry, plus I'm locked in with Verizon right now.

There are such companies and products. The fact that the article fails to mention them probably indicates that they aren't worth mentioning, though.

I apologise if I'm mistaken on this, I've hardly used python at all. (though I keep meaning to learn it so I can finally stop writing bash scripts) Get crackin'. It's a breeze to learn, and you'll be writing more robust scripts than in ba

It's not just that they don't overlap; it's that they don't even really relate or affect each other. In other words, one is pointing North and the other West. They aren't opposites; just different.

Offtopic: I once worked on the yearly revision to a certain popular football game. We had a bug at one point where players would show up with one skin color head, and a totally different skin color arms. I suggested we call this the "race c

I guess it depends on your doctor, but we usually get an appointment the same day if someone is actually sick. Also, the in-between option is "urgent care", which is open at least 8 hours or so on Saturday and Sunday.

What's legal, especially under the DMCA, isn't defined by what you feel is common sense, unfortunately.

So if you're making a small site as a side project, is it worth integrating Openid? I'm assuming here you can't get away with the StackOverflow approach of requiring all users to use it, so you still have to manage passwords for some user
