The argument that America even has a singular culture to preserve is, I think, a false premise. America is multi-cultural. There are American _ideals_ which can be preserved ("life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness"), but the

Yes, 80 ^ 7 has the same order of magnitude as 3000 ^ 4. But passphrases are recommended because many folks can memorize a passphrase more easily than a password of equivalent complexity. Or because a typical user's idea of an okay pas

Bandcamp is the first place I look to buy music from a band I like, because of their fair revenue share. Many times, it's the only place I look: I'm reluctant to shop at other online music stores and streaming services because so

It's important not to disguise any anti-piracy measures as bugs, because pirates (or even reviewers playing pirated copies) will loudly proclaim that the game is buggy, and discourage legitimate buyers. This may have contributed to the

The Microsoft Jackpot game discussed on page 6 is sickening. Why is Microsoft publishing a shoddy free-to-play slot machine game that offers in-app purchases in $200 increments? It casts a bad light on both their store and their new OS.
