I consider the following quote from Assange as contextual when examining how in the world an organization so well-versed in protecting secrets would fail so miserably at basic security... "Well, they're informants, so if they get killed, th

Interesting take: "I assume you simply mean an attack happened due to finding out the abuses committed by the US government." You do realize, Wikileaks released unredacted documents with names of people who were working with the US to try a

You bring up an excellent point, which accurately describes my first experience with a windows smart phone. I didn't get back onto smart phones for a while (buying my next only three years ago), once the crop of non-smart phones finally hit

No, them being fired was not in question - them being fired, so that the owner can walk away with all of the money from an acquisition is the substance of the article.

Cool deal - good luck with it, I'll keep an eye as you move forward. Could be useful to us!

Anything to substantiate the rumor?

This is really cool. Especially with the potential for ordering parts/BOM management. How are BOM vendors to be chosen?

Show me one example, post 1960, of such a punishment being sought. Further, no such charges have been brought in the US, and more importantly, even several prosecutors have claimed such a charge will be difficult to produce, given the prote

And, on exactly what charges would he receive the death penalty? The death penalty under Federal charges is not exactly something that's handed out like candy. Since 1963 only three people have been given the death penalty at the federal

Thanks - I didn't know if it was intentional. If I go to the site, the only link I have is to provide access to twitter. It does give it the feel of "somewhere I'm probably not supposed to be," which is why I was wondering if that was the

Your response appears to assume that I believe that the "State" as we know it is the only mechanism for creating a well-agreed upon set of rules, or that I hold any illusions of perfection anywhere humans are involved. Thieves and scoundrel

That's not very transparent, how would I have found that visiting the site for the first time? In fact, there is no communication to the user before asking for access to post to their twitter account. I guess the intent is to be insiders-

Interesting point. I looked back at the world where no such regulations existed, and I didn't see a perfect market which quickly and efficiently eradicated charlatans and thieves. No, instead I saw a world where people were constantly bei

Dang, color me educated =) I haven't had either of those features enabled in my UI, but that wouldn't surprise me as I've often had to ask them to re-enable basic features (like backoffice w/ MES) when they get accidentally turned off. I'm

A neat application, indeed - but there is definitely something to find flaw with: it is purported to provide the ability to route arbitrarily large pieces at a very low cost. However, a human operator is not like a gantry-style CNC router

I think you're referring to an Authorization, which is valid only for a limited time. To store enough details to re-bill a non-pre-auth transaction in the future will get you into PCI DSS Level D compliance, which is not cheap - to say the

Actually, it's a bit harder than that... Both of these companies have transaction volumes in a high enough range that they can afford to be their own aggregator and process their own transactions. Any new company would have to work with a

I'm not sure what you're getting at. I think you're trying to be pedantic? I said he didn't print a "rifle," you say "in the eyes of the ATF, he DID print a gun." I respond with, if you're being pedantic, he printed a "part which the BATF

He did not "print a rifle", he printed what is known as a "stripped lower receiver," which is only a shell that holds the trigger assembly, magazine, grip, and provides a mount point for the buffer tube and two pin mounts for the upper rece

Functional questions: 1) If all products are priced at-cost, and no employees are paid, is that to be assumed there will be no products sold that aren't at least, in part, developed using third parties? 2) If everything is priced at exactly

Firstly, the question was "there is no comparable system on the market with those specs," I was pointing out there was a system with those specs, which has already been cloned. Secondly, the screen, battery, and about 50% of the time the ca

Yes, but we're talking about a project being designed by one of the more famous industrial designers in the world, who also works for other hardware manufacturers (Jawbone, for example), and more than likely has a very deep network of hardw

Really? How do you know they have no clue how to manufacture any hardware? I can see their pedigree, what do you know about it that the rest of us don't?

I really don't understand why they chose kickstarter, when they could've just put up a paypal donate option. Well, except perhaps that anything remotely cool on kickstarter gets written up everywhere. I'd like to add one more thing as well

I find Ouya a lot less questionable as a Kickstarter project than PA using it as a fundraising platform for operating expenses, which no other company could get away with as far as I can tell.
