This is free advertisement for indie developers, who have a very hard time getting publicity. Not only does it pay off in the short term (many of these are users who I can promise you would never have bought these games for anything more

Lugaru is reminiscent (at least to me) of the Redwall books. It has awesome combat and you shouldn't miss it. Aquaria is an amazing adventure game that is somewhat reminiscent of Metroid in how you explore the environments. The environmen

I'm surprised that men and women appear to largely have the same range of name for colors - certainly not what society has led me to believe. However, I would have liked to see the percentage of each gender who participated in the survey.

But then Apple changes their idea of what's acceptable and removes a gamut of applications, including your own. To continue your analogy, it's like you were driving the speed limit, then a month later they lower the speed limit and ticket y

The very moment flash was not included in the iPhone, Steve Jobs had a vested interest in seeing Flash fail. If Flash expands, user satisfaction with the iPhone goes down. If Flash fails completely, one of the strongest negative component

On the other hand, look at Brad Fitzpatrick. He managed to successfully run LiveJournal while enrolled in college (full-time I believe) and said he wouldn't have done it any other way if he had the chance.

My (very limited) experience with peer programming: - It works very well if both of you are experiencing a language for the first time so you can both help each other with syntactical traps that you may find yourself in as well as other qui

This is pretty much what I was thinking when I heard about the Mohammed-South Park debacle. We need enough people to depict Mohammed that threats will be entirely meaningless.

I find that dynamic programming sounds less threatening than memoization. When I learned dynamic programming, my first thought was, "damn, that sounds cool. It's dynamic!" Memoization would have been a foreign, and confusing, word at that

I see. Thanks for showing me. It seems largely unobtrusive, but also pretty useless for me.

I haven't noticed this yet. Would someone kindly point me towards an example?

Err... no. If you're underweight, you are undernourished. If you're undernourished, you lack the correct amounts of at least some nutrients that are required for proper bodily function. Being underweight can cause the following issues (an

Yes, but the underweight people tend to be certain groups of children's role models. While we shouldn't be encouraging our children to be obese, we certainly also shouldn't be pointing them towards models who are clearly anorexic and consi

Yes, being morbidly obese isn't healthy, but I feel obligated to point out that being underweight is generally as bad medically as being obese, yet due to society's standard of beauty trending towards people who are practically skeletal, yo

Asking around at the bar and calling Apple isn't a reasonable and just attempt to return the property to its owner? Let's not forget that the guy who found the iPhone was in a bar, and, most likely, had impaired though processes. I'm pret

I think it's unfortunate that Ebert comments on games while he has clearly not played them. This is quite evident with his discussions of Braid and Flower. To answer a question he posed: why do gamers want games to be recognized as art? Bec

The computer game Spore had a very large negative response due to the DRM SecuROM being used. Interestingly, publishers use SecuROM often now and much of the backlash has disappeared. It shows how being on the crest of a wave can hurt you

What it means: When your competitors who smeared your reputation get as big as you were, their own reputation will be smeared by another upstart, and you will have your revenge without lifting a finger.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it acceptable to discriminate based on age, except under the terms of the ADEA, which only protects people >= 40 in the workplace?

I'd be surprised if Google didn't offer each of their employees in China to leave the company before they made the announcement that they were going to cease censoring the Internet. I'm sure that several took it. However, if there was a s

IANAL, but I doubt that part of the contract would hold up in court. When looking at contracts, the court tends to favor the little guy, and I'm certain that app developers could argue that Apple was unjustly enriched by the contract. Now

I'm not sure if you're being serious, but they don't. They lack the 5th amendment right against self-incrimination, among some others.

If people don't view the ads, the site shuts down. Maybe you don't like that site all that much, so it's fine. However, more and more sites would shut down due to lack of funding. Or, perhaps, they find different manners of obtaining mon

As naive as this may make me sound, I think this attitude is hurting society. The idea that everyone is and should be trying to screw everyone else out of as much pleasure and profit as legal is, in my opinion, detrimental to society. When

Free will doesn't really matter. Only an illusion of free will matters. You give me an illusion of free will, I'm fine with that. But if you take away any perception I have that I'm making choices, I won't like it.

So in essence, Microsoft just handed this off to one of their junior programmers and he wasn't aware of how to do random correctly. I don't see this being a result of Microsoft's malevolence, merely a programmer's ignorance. I doubt that M

Agreed. Someone should not have their life ruined for downloading (and distributing) a few songs for no profit. If the RIAA sued people like this, I would be fully in support of it. Of course, the problem is that they would probably lose
