Bitcoin-only payments drives away inexperienced users. A larger percentage of a much smaller pie... isn't a good thing, considering how small the "jailbroken paid apps" pie is right now.

I've always wondered what the term "Cydia" meant, so I hope Saurik can clarify: "Cydia" the app, or "Cydia" the ecosystem? The app itself, more or less, is a graphical frontend for APT on the iphone. On th

Not implausible at all. I'm probably in the squeaky clean category. On a day of a meteor shower, I went with some friends to take pictures of the sky. A park ranger arrested us, for being in a national park after dark. After arresting

I'm pretty sure you misread the parent comment. The original question posed is about the chances of ebola spreading TO western nations. However, the grandparent question answers the chances of ebola spreading WITHIN western nations. Th

Also, Dropbox's image is using the old logo. Not sure if that was intentional or not.

Other way around for me. As a CS major at Berkeley, it's hard to find a tech major who isn't thinking about going into startups, unless they're going into Finance. Unless you're talking about a sophomore in high school

It would not be a conflict of interest if the Valet service does not generate more profit per sale after everything is factored in.

Great to see Microsoft listening to issues with the Surface and attempting to fix them. Hopefully they can polish it up into a machine that can be competitive in the market.

It's true, but it doesn't apply in this case. Here's the backstory: When Apple released the retina MBP in 2012, they had 2 suppliers for the 15 inch retina screen: Samsung and LG. To be fair with Apple, isn't gaming the

For the price, this is a really good deal. However, some people (like me) have over 200+ spotify playlists with over 100 songs, and 20+ ones that I actively use. If they want to capture spotify's market share, just having a large enoug

I'm curious of the technical side of things, though. Sprint is CDMA, Tmobile is GSM. That doesn't mix well, at least compared to a ATT/Tmobile merger. As a current Tmobile user, I'd like to keep the ability to switch out

As a programmer who also happens to be a photographer, that's flat out wrong. The M8 produces a very crappy imitation of out of focus blur of what the bokeh of an camera with a thin depth of field looks like. [1] The linked article is

False dichotomy. "Not given death threats" != "Giving a free pass". If you want to kill people who you disagree with, are you any better than them?

No, that's not okay. I very much disagree with the KKK, but I believe in a society where they have the right to think whatever they want about non-white people, without getting harmed.

... Much higher than P pretty obviously. 16 possible drop points and 4 possible moves each turn maximum, let's say only half of each is available on average. That gives ((2)(8))^N for N amount of turns.

This is talking about CS10, not CS61a. CS10 is a class designed mostly for non majors, who are interested in Computer Science; CS61a is the first required class for the major. I know of a bunch of CS guys with their girlfriends in CS10. A l
