What prevents RedHat itself from transitioning to the open source platform model this article touts? They've put out OpenShift, which is a Heroku-style deployment clone, so they're at least making steps in this direction.

Notice that morality doesn't have to have anything to do with this argument. As a matter of pragmatism, the operator of a Silk Road-type site is almost certain to harbor a conviction that he can do so without getting caught (regardless

I have the sense that the protections in place on above-the-board, regulated financial services companies are more meaningful than those placed on companies dedicated to selling contraband. (That is: none)

With any other business I would agree, but a $90k+ payout would probably be very attractive for someone running a clone of a drug site that got publicly busted just months before. I would imagine these guys have a countdown to when they get

This is interesting. Where are the public-facing Windows machines? I wonder if there's an opportunity in creating "Windows as a Service?" So many of us live on Mac OS or Linux and only need Windows on those rare occasions whe

Given illegal nature of Silk Road 2, I can't help but be suspicious of this explanation of the hack. If someone's sufficiently willing to flaunt laws as to operate a site devoted to selling contraband, what stops them from taking

As innocent as they seem, posts like this are dishonest and dangerous. Imagine you're speaking to someone who actively namedrops papers and impressive concepts, but when you press them further it becomes clear they only skimmed the mat

The three substantive paragraphs of the above explanation occupied 488 words. If you consider 488 words massive paragraphs of text, then I don't know what to tell you. Some things aren't consumable in seconds. You either put in th

This post explain nothing. Any article claiming to explain P vs NP without so much as mentioning nondeterministic and deterministic Turing machines is meaningless.

Does anyone else find it amusing that the author is trying to put an "income inequality" spin on an article about tech employees being forced to take low to mid six figure salaries?

A quick and illustrative addendum: There is one place where client side programming is stable and enjoys proven, reliable, and well-worn standards: enterprise applications. If you're ever in need of a reminder for what happens when a g

My two cents: the ease of use of a platform is inversely proportional to the speed at which business needs move to remain competitive using it. The more rapidly business needs change, the less time a stable, elegant interface to the platfor

Since you mention Nvidia, here's little case study about graphics card drivers. My direct experience is with Qualcomm's Adreno driver on Android circa 2.3, so it's kinda niche and a little dated, but I understand it roughly h

I liked one idea submitted: having the command pin to the top of the screen on scroll down. It would be tricky to make happen with the hover effect for the boxes, though.

Keep in mind, the public relations aspect of this product is as much in development as the technology itself. Is this a PR stunt? Yes and no. On one hand it's a PR stunt in that it teases people with pie-in-the-sky products that don&#x

This is huge from an academic standpoint, and I sincerely hope this sort of mind-expanding recommendation will enter the mainstream. Here is a off-the-top-of-my-head list of some introductory thoughts: - I'd be willing to bet that peop

These pundits are victims to a basic error in technology: they assume they themselves are typical users, and that their experiences and preferences can be projected onto the rest of the market. They rightfully observe that for them as consu

Let me preface this by saying that I in no way mean the following to be insulting or condescending: I think this is a very naive view. Connection and passion for an industry is not a prerequisite for success. Passion comes and goes, both in
