The idea is good, I often want that information at the same time. I was hoping for an innovative design. With the current design, I might as well have three tabs open rather than use their site.

If we're going to be thanking people... Thanks Anarki and arcfn.com!* They were both tremendously useful/helpful when I last used arc. *All creators and contributors.

I agree. Personally my most rewarding wilderness adventures were Torres Del Paine, Chile and Denali National Park, Alaska. I think part of this is that even when I'm disconnecting and taking a break, I like to push myself. Make it interesti

That's exactly what I thought when I read it. How did it take so long to finally get to the point that they are using an intelligent payouts method. That being said, I am happy to see any improvements in this area. I still see really crazy

If your company has an acceptable use policy then you could be convicted of a felony for something as benign as checking Facebook or Twittering. I'm technically breaking our never-enforced acceptable use policy right now by posting on New

For posterity the quote: You can search from, to, subject, and all headers. If the message isn't on your iPhone, you can continue that search on the server. I have no idea what they mean by "continue that search on the server".

I wouldn't want somebody like that on my team. I would. Who is he harming by eating the middle of an Oreo? You imply that his solution to the problem is wrong because it's deceptive. But it's the testers and parents that put him in that

I agree. Here are the choices 1) Do as you are told and get another marshmallow 2) Eat as many marshmallows as you want with no punishment. That doesn't seem to be a very hard choice. I personally like the kid that checks to make sure that

Based on the price of this one, I think we'll see the small Kindle go down in price soon. Because right now it doesn't make any sense to buy the small one. I have a story that supports this. My Mom just bought the Kindle 2 last night for

I agree. After you get your first job and get some experience you'll be good. It's just finding a way to get past HR. They just look at credentials and may ignore your unconventional interest in programming. Don't worry though, after that f

The researchers noted, too, that nearly 40 percent of the credentials stolen by Torpig were from browser password managers, and not actual login sessions, and that the Torpig controllers may have exploited these credentials for between $83

"idle resources from a university computing lab for a few months" range. Out of curiosity, what sort of time frame does that translate to for a government agency such as the NSA?

This is a bit off topic but I always thought the easiest way to build a space elevator was from space lowering it down to the planet. Not building it ground up. That being said I'm all about more amateur involvement and less regulations. Or

Looks like SimCity. I think the look adds something to the map. It's a bit easier to parse and understand than satellite images and adds more information than a standard overhead map. For those of us who don't read Chinese - what's the stor

I've got a very close friend that was a game developer at EA for about 4 years. He went through a very similar experience. He eventually burned out, moved back home, went back to school and is now a Chiropractor. He more or less quit gaming

That article is in my opinion lacking information. It doesn't do a good job explaining the reasoning behind the new language. When I first heard about Axum I thought the same thing. I think if it easily ported to a library, it would already

Google Chrome uses separate processes for each tab / window. So I agree that in some ways it is a gift to Google, but it still encourages use of FF and IE over Chrome. Assuming Google is planning on expanded use of Chrome, this could cause

This is interesting. It's definitely a different take than the laser virtual keyboard or the Wii Remote. What sort of advantages does this have over hacking a Wii Remote? Is it more portable? Is it more sensitive? Arguably it's design would

He seems to be misunderstood. Which is no surprise since he's into unconventional computation - whatever that is[1]. He's well published[2] and has chaired at least one conference on unconventional computing[3]. So that's more than I can sa

I would never sell it. Even if it ended up being worth a fortune? I guess I would be hard pressed to sell my name domains too. But for enough money maybe.

Congratulations on getting in. I graduated about 15 years ago. I'll give you a quick summary of the top people in my class. I went to an "average" midwest public high school with about 2000 students freshman year and 450 students graduating

Ironically I think it's just as likely that it was simplicity that caused the error rather than complexity: Older Microsoft Windows systems usually store only a single start and end rule for each zone ^ If only they were forward thinking e
