Actually they are. The story of the game is intended mostly to be the result of an Objectivist society's downfall because its leaders are fallible. http://www.shacknews.com/article/48728/ken-levine-on-bioshoc.

Huh. That contradicts what I remember from my exit counseling. Perhaps it's a useful misconception?

Having worked in the US office of a Japanese company, this does not surprise me in the least. Neither does their choice to use weird hardware with poor library support. The company I worked for did not understand that, if you sell a premade

My OBD-I truck had a pair of pins that, when shorted together with a paperclip, would read out the exact trouble code through the check engine light. As far as a verbose option, if you pull into an O'Reilly's or other auto parts s

What engine-critical information would you replace the extra real-estate with?

It's also a great design because it needs to be highly reliable, and lights are probably the simplest things you can apply power to to generate a notification. Also the note about the tachometer struck me as a little odd. The tachomete

It's funny that ii is even an issue because Linux does not support platforms without MMUs without some serious modifications.

You couldn't pay me enough to work 8 back-to-back 70-hour weeks.

I wonder if it's possible to use this on someone else's open network? EG, I walk into Starbucks, plug this into the wall, and deauth everyone else's devices?

Why was this voted down? It strikes me as something requiring some citations or rebuttal, but not a simple downvote.

Interesting. I was not aware of this, so thank you.

What would you have him do instead?

The first one looks like you're chaining functions together, while the second one looks like you're taking multiple bitwise or operations over the result of each function. I think it's fascinating to see how the language can

If you'll excuse me, I have to write some letters to the legal department at the hat factory where I work.

Yeah, but what does that have to do with their right to build out these projects according to the FCC? The central issue is that the telecoms are lobbying the telecom regulator to prevent municipalities from directly competing because it wo

When I did phone support for a barcode scanning company I had one customer trying to use an undecoded scan engine to guide robots across a floor. A scan engine works by sweeping a laser across the barcode and using the light intensity at di

It's strange. I've had waiters ask if we're ready before everyone at the table has even closed their menus. I recall being taught to use the menu as a signal for whether you're ready or not. Is that not a thing anymore?

If I'm writing software for an MCU I'm going to want something that can directly address and manipulate memory, which excludes interpreted languages and things like Java. For example if you look at the Android platform sources you
