According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tower_defense Tower defense finds its roots in the strategy classic Rampart, an arcade game from 1990. The game involved defending a castle by placing cannons, and making repairs betwe

Is this really the entire content of this submission? The economy sucks, great web talent (designers, developers, copywriters, marketers, seo people) are getting laid off and freelancers are struggling for work. Let's pool our contacts! If

Terrible title. Worthless article. His mom joins Facebook, so everyone must be doing it and Facebook is gunning for Google and SEO is irrelevant and the only way to find cool stuff now is to play mafia wars, blah, blah blah... A lo

Is there something special about this? I imagine you'd find equivalent content on dozens of pages by searching for "vi commands".

> Every new feature in HTML 5 (except maybe 2) were added because developers wanted functionality already available in a plugin. Right. No one is saying plugins don't have their place. They're a great way to get things you need right

I thought the "Two Corporate Browsers" observation was especially interesting. He basically says that companies will eventually need to install a second browser for employees so they can use IE6 for internal apps and something else for exte

I agree that it might be a while before the standard is final. And it will be even longer until all the non-HTML5 browsers are gone. But a decade? C'mon. All 5 major browsers should have a released browser with at least a few HTML 5 cap

You might already know this, but I believe the answer is always on the landing page. You just have to scroll all the way down. They put enough crap on the top of the page to make you think you have to login. The site is still lame though

I too, really like the idea of a single VM for many languages. Having just watched the Google IO video on V8, I'm starting to think there are some serious advantages to specialized engines. For example, V8 replaced the regular expression e

I wish. Flash will continue working on IE 6 and other older browsers though. Until all the browsers you want to support have HTML 5 implemented (correctly), you're going to have to either use Flash or some hybrid/piecemeal solution.

The pertinent part is at the bottom of the post... Finally, some of you have asked when Native Client will be ready for end-users. In this context, we recognize that there is well-justified resistance to installing browser plug-ins. For thi

It seems like everyone would benefit if we spent our entire lives splitting time between work and school (or perhaps back and forth in cycles). I've always found it odd that kids don't spend much time working and adults don't spend much tim

The domain (probably) infringes on Google's trademarks. I wonder what legal recourse there is for someone sticking your site in an iframe though. IANAL, but the engineer in me says that's perfectly legal (and a little scummy).

They still have TV ads (for now). And from what I understand, they pulled out of print and audio because they couldn't create a feedback loop on those formats. I'd bet anything they'll be back to audio and print when those formats become

They're comparing search results, not search engines. Results matter, but so do speed, usability, features, privacy, etc.

Search results are important, but they aren't the _only_ thing that matters here. Which one is faster? Which has a better UX? Which should trust with my data? Which integrates with other products I like? Which one works best on my phone? ..

I don't filter anything, but I use mute aggressively. This ensures that I see all threads at least once, but if I'm not interested in the thread, I never see it again.
