I don't understand how this board only "uses 2 pins". The schematic shows the ezLCD component still uses 7 pins for I/O. Using the SPI bus requires 4 pins and the other 3 are presumably for the touchscreen sensing. The b

Not sure if you read the links, but I think they were posted here to (accurately) point out that overgard's comment contains two really common tropes that people use to dismiss men talking about feminism. Each post is like two paragrap

Let me get this straight. The previous comment pointed out that naming this program in a gendered way that references the sexist concept of "brogramming" is unnecessary/stupid. You interpreted this as an attack on the right f

I wonder what sort of proof you are looking for. I too would love to see some studies on this. Is there a percentage at which you would care? In the mean time, I'll send you this link as well -- http://geekfeminism.wikia.com

How many more posts like this are needed to convince you that the whole community of tech meetups is hostile towards women? Of course that individual deserves the lion's share of the blame, but writing this off as an isolated individua

This basically adds no new information about Tor, except what we already knew -- that you should really have a private bridge, and that Tor traffic is readily discernible from normal traffic (hence, avoid using it on networks where authoriz

Why bother risking expulsion/FBI charges/a tainted professional reputation for the rest of your life for more time on a test? Even if he succeeded, I doubt anyone could pull something like that off and then focus on schoolwork for

This was a peaceful protest, not vigilante justice. Some people were unable to get to work on time. Where's the outrage about union workers not being able to get to work during a picketed protest?

What do you mean by "be toxic"? And how do you expect people to work against income inequality without calling it what it is? Your comment ("lol income inequality") is dripping in upper-class privilege, as if you're

The author's point is that URLs are not pages -- they are just pointers to information, and that (a) by design, they should be static and uniform, and (b) there is no reason that URLs cannot be used for both person- and machine-readabl
