You should restart, it's an underexploited niche. The Zenonia games on the iOS have been wildly successful despite their formulaic predictability and underwhelming exploitation of the device's capabilities, simply because they're the only

I don't think acceleration is a torsor, quite, but if you understand a torsor, you understand how acceleration can be absolute even if velocity is not: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/torsors.html

I read that as only referring to the "embarassed themselves" part, which makes the analogy false as well as tasteless.

If any time you were hacked, you fired the previous network security engineer and hired the guy who just broke in, you'd have a network unusuable by legitimate users and still probably vulnerable to skilled attackers.

For me as a user, strace can be a real life saver. I'm not hep enough to the jive to read the source code and figure out what [incredibly uninformative error message regarding file access] means, but I can read strace output and see what f

Just as Silicon Valley can be a good idea for a lean startup, Manhattan can be a good idea for the top tier of homeless person: The creativity, variety, and drive of the panhandling there is many levels above what you'll see elsewhere. ...I

Libertarians always seem to assume that if people didn't have to fear starving to death, naked on the street, they wouldn't go to work any more; and that curtailing to any degree the ability of the wealthiest to add to their wealth will sto

I've stayed in $30/night hostels in New York City. I don't see many places they could've cut costs and still provided a safe, sanitary place to sleep, and there are still homeless people in New York City.

People who own an iPhone or iPad bought it because they perceived it as their best option. Whether they buy something else, or just grit their teeth and bear it because there's still nothing better, they're being hurt when their best optio

Surely there are some regular motions which could be approximated using a spoon which would more efficiently move the hottest parts of a liquid to the surface than random turbulence? My intuition says sliding the spoon down the side of the

Compared to what? I think it'd be easier/cheaper for anyone of moderate technical skill to learn how to remove DRM from a kindle book in order to duplicate it than to scan or photocopy a physical book in order duplicate it.

I'm small-talk challenged. I feel uncomfortable calling up friends unless I have something specific to discuss; uncomfortable getting together with them on the weekend just to hang out. Facebook bridges the gap that leaves, and lets me kee

FIOS is supposedly available here, but the only variety I've seen offered is a $99/month bundle with TV and telephone, both of which are useless to me. What's the secret password to get 25/5 for $45/month?

I understand the saying "the cobbler's children go barefoot;" if a security consulting company spent the man-hours to make sure their own systems were perfectly secure, they'd never have the spare time to bill any to their clients. Still, w

That the human spirit does not reside within the cerebellum is predictable, though, since it's one of the more evolutionarily ancient parts of the brain and not at all exclusive to humans.
