Yes. I always take solace in the knowledge that I could leave all this behind and go live in a tent in the forest if I wanted to. But even that probably isn't true because I've never been camping. I'd probably eat some poison

The real tragedy of Pokemon Go is that it's essentially a glorified Cow Clicker. The core gameplay (battling and leveling to strengthen your team, then using them to collect ever-stronger Pokemon) has been replaced with mindless swipin

Why would you trust a company when you know they only care about you to the extent that it affects their bottom line? Especially a company like Facebook. Have we forgotten the Free Basics debacle already?

They deserved the backlash for implementing it, and I hope the Rift continues to suffer now that people know Facebook's true intentions. Not to mention how poorly they treated early supporters after the buyout, e.g. stocking Rifts on r

It would be far more damaging for someone to access the webcam on my girlfriend's laptop vs. the data on it. She has no access to any useful financial information or accounts, but images captured in her hotel room during a work trip co

This is especially important for people who are using employer or school-provided laptops. The Lower Merion School District drew national attention to this issue[1], but most people still don't understand how trivial it is for an emp

I think you're severely underestimating the success of Imgur. It has essentially become an image-based Reddit clone, with its own thriving community of users who never leave the site. It's no longer just a place for Redditors to d

He's cooperating with the FBI and DOJ. Do you really think they'd offer him an immunity deal that allowed him to plead the 5th? What you're talking about are separate investigations by Senate committees. It's understanda

Shouldn't they be in the Datto backups? The ones that even Clinton herself didn't know about because they were kept by mistake (and against her orders)? The ones that contain the 30,000+ emails she and her lawyers attempted to del

I'm equally confused. I wonder if he meant to say 10,000? My understanding of human history pretty much stops at what we all learned about Egypt in history class, and that time period was ~6,000 years ago IIRC. I have no concept whatso

The server had 5x the population of a reatil Vanilla realm. Those were capped at 2,500 but Nostalrius regularly peaked near 13,000 concurrent players. Their second server was also reaching ~5,000 players at the time they were shut down.

It's not like I'm in a position to do so anyway, but I would never consider implementing some kind of prank into a vital service that hundreds of millions of people use on a daily basis. Let alone a prank that could be so easily m
