Good idea. Then when I get that rant on the front page, I can write a guide on HOW I GOT TO THE FRONT PAGE. Those seem pretty popular.

Yea, what tsm posted is a flash clone of that game.

Neat. I would have taken the plain game but with a different perspective, but that's pretty mind boggling right there.

Darn, I was hoping for a perspective from the block itself looking down on the already placed blocks. Second-person tetris then? [on a side note, I really need to learn how to game the front page. 2 year old, minute twist on 30 year old gam

Hilarious! Thanks for supporting numpad keys. I'm no good at all with vim keys. Might want to note that; it took me a few tries to figure out I could use numpad (and arrow keys don't cut it with hex movement).

I'm more curious who actually buys these as paintings. Because it's kind of like a reverse version of those Who's Who scam's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Who%27s_Who_scam And the point there is you're an idiot if you buy a membership to

Thanks. That's funny because all my friends said it was extremely jarring and they didn't like it. The reason it's there is to make it easier to disorient yourself and get lost.

Yea. Everyone screaming Moore's law (a historical observation that isn't guaranteed to continue) must be also saying that the Bitcoin economy won't double from its current size every couple years.

Three years ago, 37signals wrote an email saying all users would have to pick new user names and passwords (I guess changing to a single sign in across all apps). It was fairly well written, but I swore it was an elaborate phishing scheme

Users being lazy about security doesn't excuse companies from being lazy about security. I don't know if the latter is true in this case, but the line of thinking you have presented is surely flawed.

It's always the same damn thing with guns. Headlines talk about 3D printed firearms, but then when you actually read the article, the entire extent of the worry is "eventually hobbyists hope to print almost an entire component with a 3D p

That's interesting. I went to a presentation last year where the presenter (I believe she was from paypal) was saying that the US was many years behind several other countries on payment methods, especially SMS.

Could you briefly explain what FTB does? The website doesn't do a good job of explaining it. From what I can tell, it's a collection of mods and I'm not going to go read what all 30+ of them do.

I think you may be missing the point here. I'm sure you are a great engineer. And Impostor Syndrome and Dunning-Kruger are definitely phenomena you need to know. But the vicious response probably comes from a concern that is completely or

Dumb question, but isn't it possible for S3 to go down (or is the uptime just so high it doesn't matter)?

I have very little experience with NetHack. I'm basing my comment off of the DCSS FAQ. I probably have misrepresented it. >The history of Crawl is somewhat convoluted: Crawl was created in 1995 by Linley Henzell. Linley based Crawl loos

If you think NetHack is the greatest computer game of all time, may I suggest Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup? Supposedly, it was modeled after NH, but in attempt to fix several of its problems: http://crawl.develz.org/other/manual.html#n-philoso

I do something similar for a small message board used by about 10 friends that has a shared password. All you do is look in your email for the link or bookmark and use the bookmark to log in. It might seem strange, but some people probably

I hate to be that guy, but when I'm viewing the font on this site at default size, the cross of every "t" is twice as thick as everything else and it's extremely distracting. It looks fine if I increase the font size and slightly better i
