I was thinking the same thing. This is just tricking customers into thinking the link contains less red tape and annoyance than it really does. It's the equivalent of having a ride at a state fair where you sit there and someone throws dog

Notch = John Ralphio? Nice office but it's almost too try-hard :P There are better ways to make good work environments than make it look like something out of a sitcom.

Completely agree. I was the kinda kid that built his own crystal radio and endless science kits like that. I used alcohol QTip and blowing, both self-discovered methods. And both equally effective, but solved different problems.

Be careful what you wish for... They could start microtransactions where you can 'Watch Hulu+ TV Episode with Ads for Free' or 'Watch this episode without adds for an additional $0.50' :P Then again, it may not be such a bad thing.

Close, but I'd rather have Games for Windows than Origin.

The last time I saw any mainstream news that wasn't part of a youtube joke clip or actually important enough to make it to news sites like slashdot was... well... I think this one time in 5th grade around 1991 I was forced to read a news ar

Yeah I mostly agree with you, except that I highly doubt that most people who use WhatsApp will actually hear about it having a security issue, let alone care about it.

Just because a skilled attacker can trivially find the information, doesn't mean that the 15 year old kid living next door to you can find it. Now they can. The problem doesn't stem from giving information to "l33t hax0rz" but rather provid

And scientists aren't very good liars. If you could science your way through a campaign then there would be more scientists going for it, but unfortunately that doesn't work.

Don't forget the 0.001% which want to hack the crap out of your API and use it for exploitation :)

That's definitely the way I read it too. I don't go out and buy Pentium 3's and install 256 MB of ram when I read video game requirements. Author must have a very cluttered room.

In the end, is there really any difference between making a game that is fun and a game that is addicting? I really don't think there is even if they went in with the idea of "lets make this game addicting". I've never once seen a game that

Doesn't someone have a copyright on all things MLK? I remember reading about people not even being able to post his speech on youtube or anything.

Sound was generally just more rich. But yeah the background noise was incredibly noticable. I use SE530's with an audioengine D1 at work since using an integrated soundcard always bleeds motherboard sounds in the audio :/ I read a study a f

<Sarcasm> Yeah, just what start ups need to succeed; Best Buy. I've always wanted to see start ups offering "Performance Service Plans" on their product. </Sarcasm>

Yeah I put my phone on the table also just cause of comfort. Also because of a lot of research finding that cell phones in your pockets causes your balls to wither and die (paraphrased).

LOL this article starts out talking about writing excel macros. Who does he think creates excel... or the os it runs on. It seems like the author is meaning script monkeys or something. The guys who take real applications' outputs and does

RTM is considered as 'done'. By all intents and purposes it is the 'final build', any changes from this point on are hot fixes or updates.

I have Windows 8 RTM installed in my 2010 Macbook Air. It works fine, other than the whole FULLSCREEN-FOR-EVERYTHING change that is entirely anti-gamer. I had to manually extract and install some drivers though since Apple has a check for O

I'm sure 1&1 actually does encrypt the password, otherwise the tech support guy probably would have just opened up tim_rogers.txt and found his password there. This sounds like 1&1 just doesn't have a real customer support story and

This article truly deserves 'TL;DR'. BUT, having lightly skimmed it, I get the general idea because "real" engineers have been whining about the Software Engineer title since nearly the first day I was at college like 11 years ago. Oddly, p

I really hope he presses charges and brings yet another wrongful suit against the state. Police officers must be held accountable for things they do and if it is a public area then they should act accordingly. A judge already ruled this man

The inability to keep up with new technologies is something that ended even by my own generation (I'm 30 now). I can't think of anyone under 40ish that hasn't been able to grasp some new concept. People like myself who have been programming

It's really just the entertainment media version of patent trolling... it will eventually be killed or moderated just like patent trolling is. We just have to wait until someone figures out a better system to replace them with.

This is good. Use it! I've been using this for a few years and it helps find a lot of various security issues. It's been especially useful in the appliance world.
