Zed seems to me to be using the word "whore" in a gender-neutral manner to describe anyone involved in this marketing campaign. On the other hand, I do find his derogatory use of the word "pussy" to be possibly misogynistic, but that's not

In the card game, the rule is that if a card has a vowel on one side, it must have an even number on the other side. Replace "the card has a vowel on one side" with "a person is drinking alcohol" and "it must have an even number on the othe

When I tried out Revizr(only a very quick pass-through so far), my first impression was that this doesn't sound that innovative, but then I read more and realized that it's a really cool idea. Unfortunately, then I saw how Revizr displays c

According to Manomio's CEO, Apple had seemed excited about the app. That's hardly a guarantee that the app would be approved, but it seems rather ridiculous to express excitement about an app, only to reject it after Manomio had invested si

Can it compute the question, though? If not, that's merely cool but useless. Most of the people who would think to ask that already know the answer. It's the question that we need to know(My vote goes to "What do you get if you multiply six

As I hadn't ever really noticed this problem, I decided to see what would happen if I hit the back button in firefox after disabling my wireless adapter. After reading the article, I was quite surprised that it went back to HN perfectly. I

Hanford was a site for production of materials for nuclear weapons, not a power plant. You're arguing against nuclear weapons, not against nuclear power. In addition, according to the wikipedia article you cite, the B Reactor at Hanford was
