You don't interact with cops much do you? I got messed with by the cops just for being out after dark as a kid. A cop once made my whole family his personal mission just because he caught one of my brothers biking without a helmet. Mak

I used an Asus Transformer Prime as my laptop for some time, and in some ways the experience described here sounds like it's actually gotten worse on an interface level since 4.0. For the most part though, I found it reasonably decen

This is what Racket is made for (among other things of course). I strongly recommend asking on the Racket-users Google Group as they'll know more about educational use than I, but Racket is actively used to teach 13 year olds programmi

This article honestly reminds me of nothing so much as why I stopped reading current science-fiction, and why the science-fiction I wrote took more inspiration from Douglas Adams and DC Comics than anything from the "proper SF" sp

It's almost as if a totally unregulated commodities market isn't the magical utopia the neoreactionaries and internet libertarians dreamed of! If only we had centuries of historical precedent to learn from and prevent these sort o

You joke, but network executives have actually said such things, and there's a long history of them suing and winning against ad-skipping features for TV. Here's just one example: https://www.techdirt.com/articles&

My lily-white ass it has. If anything, my experience with the Linux distro ecosystem in the last year is worse than I have ever had with Linux going back some 20 years. I would frankly trade any of the dozens of broken "robust desktop

Be warned that the Bluestacks software is an insidious little thing. It works, mostly, but 1) the stack is out of date (it was still on 4.0 last I used it only a couple months ago), 2) it comes pre-installed with an awful spammy launcher an
