OK, but tomorrow when I've forgotten that I've done this and I do a quick search, if the very first thing that comes up isn't what I want, I bet I switch right back.

Because of my Calendar and my todo lists, and my emails with friends and family, and my searches on Google, I do think that Google could know precisely what I may be trying to map as soon as I open my maps app on my phone :) I just emailed

Someday, Google will know what I'm going to Google before I Google it. It's going to see a pattern of what I watch on TV, the websites I visit during the day, and on my phone, who I talk to, where I go, what I do, the kind of busi

My guess is top management may have been more worried about employees selling their laptops with trade secrets on them and then claiming they were stolen.

Full disk encryption. This is the first thing I do as soon as I get a new computer. The thought of losing one of my work systems terrified me before. Now I have peace of mind.

So, if I can just do what the Fuck I want to, then can I download your code and then re-license it as proprietary and charge royalties to everyone else who is just doing what the fuck they want to with it? I mean - I'm doing what the fuck I

AGREED! WordPress should actually have a "Naked" theme as one of the defaults, absolutely. Why a well-commented naked theme isn't part of the default WordPress install has never made sense. I had to make my own with each new version of W

All these bundled game packages are turning games into something like trading cards rather than games. People I've heard from say that they never get around to playing the games, but they buy them in bundles like this because they can get a

Yes, thank you. He is NOT using QBasic, it's QB64. He gets instant access to some pretty sweet functionality that was never in QBasic. Transparent PNG support, resolutions with more than 16 colors above 320x200, double buffering, TCP/IP,

I think: By saying "appropriate" he wasn't really asking how to find open source projects in his language of choice, but how to know which ones will eventually get him noticed, or how to pick the open source project that seems to have meani

Thank you, this method worked and my account is permanently gone now. I still run my blog at another location so I can maintain my content which I prefer to have some level of control over - even if it isn't total.

This archive is taking one more step - right-click, save-as, "re-post to the web".

How does one opt out? I've migrated my blog to my own system so if I want to make changes to an old post I can, but I won't be able to control my content that you are archiving which is a problem for me. It's actually rather bothersome to

Great point. My first thought was, anyone who doesn't know how to, or doesn't like to play chess would not create a topic on this page. The game-as-captcha idea is good tho, IMO. I was in a forum talking about this with fellow game devs a

I totally agree, but only in the FizzBuzz case. It's the perfect, super-simple puzzle that can be solved quickly, but let's you see how a programmer might approach a problem, how they like to code, and their go-to language, etc. It's not li

I believe you are correct. I tried to do a chargeback once because the company refused to believe me, and there was no way into my account where my credit card was stored and they would keep charging it year after year. And they wouldn't

That's what I was thinking. 1) What if someone took their design, created a template of it, and sold it on a number of website template sites - and these companies were none-the-wiser. 2) Was the design created in-house, or did they hire a

Yes, I'd love to hear a response from (2013) Bill Gates to this letter. I wonder if he sees this in a different light now? Could the piracy of his early programming language been what started the exponential growth/adoption of all Micro-so

I kind-of agree. Tho, I think if they just asked me to pay what I think it's worth to me, I would pay something. Right away. I'd click the button and pay something, then probably do it again in a couple months. They should call it, "give

I hope this isn't the case. I've been sure to speak up when I don't understand since the beginning. Don't people appreciate it when you want to make sure you get it right the first time?

I think it's not disruptive because to be disruptive it has to be more wide-spread disruptive. There are just too many people, like myself, who look at the retina display and wonder why the heck I'd pay more for the smaller pixels. It's ju

I have a 2 year old Galaxy Tab 7" and the same thing happens to us while the kids are playing with it out in public. Everyone thinks it's an iPad mini and wants to see it, even tho it's about a quarter inch thick. It's 2 years old and it s

HackerNews is the only place I've ever heard of this happening :) In the "wild", I've never witnessed it once, so I'm actually curious what it means. Do you select the entire block of text you are in the process of reading? Do you drag yo

Yes, please do. If someone is playing a game on an iPad, the buttons for controlling the character should not be huge on the screen. They need to be shrunk down and moved off to the corners so the thumbs can easily reach and touch them.

Exactly what I was thinking... almost. In the option screen, just put a little switch to turn iPad Mini formatting on or off.
