Totally depends on the particular software and the market it serves. Mass market stuff I think lends well to simplified designs. Vertical market software tends to have very specific requirements which are unfortunately not agreed upon by a

Alter ego attempting to change the world by signing me up for adult websites... interesting premise!

I definitely understand that this bag can be reused. I thought the point of banning bags was so people would bring their own bag, perhaps have to pay a bag tax or whatever. I don't see how these bags made it better at all - in fact i

I wonder if a lot of addresses were added by AM themselves, perhaps from an email marketing list. I have a spam-catcher account where all messages go straight to the junk folder. I use it when required to sign into services that I don'

They just recently banned the bags here in Chicago. I was disappointed that when I went to the store today they gave me a thicker plastic bag with "re-usable" printed on it. It seems like an idiotic misinterpretation of the entir

If you work in assembly you'd be in good shape. Though you probably would pull your hair out with the hardware speed, memory constraints, etc!

Canning and jarring your own food was also extremely common - my great grandfather had a basement full of stuff they had grown and then preserved themselves. The idea of buying canned veggies wasn't unusual or unhealthy at all - except

My philosophy is that the first time something funky and unexplainable happens, power cycle and don't spend a bunch of time on it. But keep and eye out for the same thing and if it happens again, then investigate. Using it to solve a

I'd be curious to know how Gravitational works if the founders are here? How would one take a public service and make it private?

I'd say it's more like they turned off the game after the opening cut scene. This doesn't really qualify as a fumblebrag because they didn't actually start. They assume that funding was in the bag already, that the prod

This article came exactly 1 day too late for me - I literally just blew away one of our test machines yesterday morning, only to find I can't activate it unless I re-install Windows 7. To make matters more fun I chucked the Win7 instal

One thing I might suggest is that the payment is made in advance and kept in an escrow. Allowing people to hire a drone operator and then trusting them to pay after the footage is delivered seems like a lot of risk for the operator. It&#x2

I would actually use this service since I'm an amateur filmmaker. I probably would have just posted an ad on one of the film forums or craigslist, though. It's not solving a really huge problem for me.

I just assumed that from the geologist advising people to test their water so they would have a baseline - so they would be able to make claims later. Obviously there's no need for such proof now.

It seems the geologist even underestimated the disaster He was advising residents to check their water at the time so they could compare it later for contamination. Instead of a hidden change in water parameters, we got a river that looks l

One thing to add to that list is that an AAA game is also somewhat defined by the amount of marketing and promotion that goes along with it.

I think sometimes it's a case where things are bad, but the project owners have a few long shots out there and are hoping that one of them will come through. I guess in a perfect world, they would just write that as well.

When I was young I told my friends that if they saw me in 20 years married and not playing music full time to go ahead and punch me in the face. I honestly thought that I would feel exactly the same at 40 that I did at 20. At that age I pro

You can always say that you're the designated driver, which at some bars will get you, ironically, free soda.

I live & work in an urban area with young people. Hardly any of us drink soft drinks. When I return home to visit my family (small midwestern town) everybody drinks soda all the time. Most shoppers have a couple of cases of soda in thei

Depriving yourself of culture? Give me a break! Just say that you don't want to pay anything for music and movies released by major labels and studios, but you still want to enjoy them. Don't pretend you're taking some ethica

Both Apple and MS have been doing that for a while. MS got me when they came out with MS Word, which opened formats from just about every other word processor - Wordperfect being the main one. Apple got me when they introduced Bootcamp an

We do the same thing except we don't keep the version number in the main table since we have no reason to ever display that unless we're looking at the history anyway. We have a history table with two JSON columns representing the

If you feel that way and don't want to support the industry, the real ethical thing to do is to not watch or listen to their products. Only support artists who are releasing their material under terms that you agree with.

As far as I'm aware most thermostats don't really factor in humidity which has a big factor on my comfort. When I'm at home on a relatively mild summer day, my house actually feels uncomfortably warm. When it's blister

It doesn't really take a lot of intuition to know that the vast majority of startups are going to fizzle. Heck, "fail fast" is a mantra of the startup scene. Landlords just "know it" because they've already gon

Censorship of your freedom of speech really only applies when the government is doing it. Github is not the government and, by contract law, you waived your right to freedom of speech when you agreed to their terms of service. If that truly
