I see the author catching some crap, but I think it's undue. Well, potentially. The clearer you are with your manager, the smoother the machine runs. The only problem is that, in the hands of the wrong boss, trying to do the right things ge

I think you guys are over-arguing this. Governmental logistics aside, imagine the US sent a billion dollars in aid to a nation. Now imagine California also did the same. Did the US (the federal government) send two billion? No. They are cle

He isn't complaining about their choice, but instead that they made choice A, and are complaining they aren't getting the results from choice B. It's like partying instead of studying for a test, and complaining you didn't pass. Of course y

I can personally confirm that DMCA notices are sent to cable Internet providers, and passed along to users, over TV shows. I do not know if there have been actual lawsuits filed. Remember, set your DVRs. On the legality, I've heard people d

I'd hope it would bother any reasonable person. Sadly the humor of "omg, he said something he shouldn't say!" is very easy, and very popular these days. And too many people are easily amused.

The only thing to come close to email in usefulness for me has been SMS (not counting the phone itself.) But even the email/SMS duopoly could soon change given the near ubiquitous presence of smartphones. I'm just waiting for the evolution

YES! THANK YOU! Seriously, I'd racked my mind trying to get that name. I guess it wasn't quite as vowel-heavy as I thought... But that was it; thanks a lot mantalk!

I honestly don't know about about it. I probably should've just not mentioned it, but, it seemed to serve the same function.

Small insofar as data is concerned, but by far the most important. For instance you don't have to worry about hackers taking passwords from you any more. At worst they bust in and take a list of functional email addresses (assuming you emai

With 3.0 and 3.1 being developed chiefly with tablets in mind, I don't find that too surprising given the popularity of phones:tablets. (Edit for correction. 3.x is not solely for tablets, just primarily with them in mind.)

I sincerely don't think any company will successfully "become the platform" in perpetuity, They'll just make obscene amounts of money while their star is shining. But I do think good can come from this. As Facebook, Google, Twitter, (the st

I absolutely get the craziness of the claim. But given it's listed fifth of five claims they take issue with (others being outright trademark infringement,) I imagine they really only care about it in congruency with the others. I doubt (ho

I suppose I could've explained it... It's ideal for keyboard-heavy users. Instead of typing a search term into the search box and Ctrl+Arrow-ing to the search engine I want to use, with YubNub (in Firefox and Chrome, maybe IE?) you type in

I sincerely doubt this (though I'm no lawyer.) Generally the rules are written so that it applies to the act of recording. The copy is being made on the phone, then sent.

Hey Shiun. I really doubt you're going to find many Western men who think of any sexual service as part of a PR agent's role. That said, (and I mean no offense!) the choices you give do stand out very much. If you'd like a little help rewri

I don't think I ever really understood how "odd" I must seem to some people when using YubNub...

I'm far too impatient as well, I suppose. It seems to me (from the armchair where I quarterback) that IM interoperability isn't happening not because companies prefer the advantages of their chosen protocol, but because they simply want to

In interviews they've claimed that much of the lag players experience is from poor monitors. I don't know if I buy their claim of how much (I want to say the claim was "most", but I'd check that before I would argue it,) but I can certainly

Among all the discussion (and most of it likely very insightful) I don't see one thing being mentioned. Maybe new TF2 purchases had slowed to a point where they felt giving it away and focusing on in-game purchases was simply comparative, i

I agree with cookiecaper. I don't see Valve doing TF3 for some time. Whenever it does happen (and I think it will eventually) it will only be with large fundamental changes that the TF2 tech can't handle on reasonable machines. Valve has be

You're not joking, jsherry. From the article: "And some of them will be cable TV subscribers who should be able to watch shows but can’t deal with the hassle of proving that they’re entitled." Amen. I DO subscribe to cable, and I usually us

So, if I took a picture with a magic camera, that "copied" a Porsche, and magically "pasted" another one in reality, I should have to pay for it again? I mean, this is already an issue with 3d printers and small items. It'll happen with lar

As great as it is in theory, even agreeing with thebooktocom that it'll likely not happen... It hurts a bit knowing we'll never settle another planet in my lifetime.
