These are all valid reasons. I read a lot of ebooks because I'm travelling a lot but if I move somewhere to stay there permanently I'm going to go back to buying physical books. As much for myself as for my kids to grow with books

I absolutely agree. Plus how is 'owning music' different from being able to always listen to it for free?

For most of the services we create separate accounts. Nowadays most sites support multiple accounts, those who don't are rare enough to just share a password via email. Personally I use 1Password for storing passwords and it allows sha

But someone went through the trouble of writing the template. Most companies wouldn't even bother checking apps in the first place.

It would be really interesting if profiles were not filtered by country but predictions were grouped by it. If I wanted to move abroad I could base my salary expectations on it. This would also give more value to people from outside of the

If you want something you can learn quickly go for Ruby on Rails. It's one of the most popular web frameworks with tons of resources and great community. It abstracts a lot of complexity and enforces some good practices that you'd

I don't think it's just about the game. I believe many people involved in distribution of illegal content do it out of a genuine desire to share. For every released movie, every song, a book or a piece of software there exists a group of p

It's hard to understand body language without knowing the person well but on all pictures I've seen it looks like Lucas's left hand is trying to stop his right hand from signing the contract. It would seem he might have been hesitant about

A year ago there was a study conducted on that topic: http://www.sciencemag.org/content/333/6043/776.abstract It's behind a paywall, but you can read a number of commentaries, e.g.: http://news.columbia.edu/googlememory

Amazon recently started blocking my Kindle purchases basing on the fact my IP locates me in Japan while my primary address is set to the USA. When I switched to the gift option (using the same account) it worked without any problem even tho

You should be able to use a proxy then. Or buy as a gift, for some reason they don't block those.

I think it's also about the reasons for starting programming. Most people start programming before joining a CS program not because they have to, but driven by their curiosity. And it's quite probably that they retain the curiosity througho

I'd love to see movies on Steam, provided they are available worldwide. Amazon and Netflix cater nicely to Americans but the rest of the world has no good alternative.

"Hmm, this sounds a bit like "how to get an internship if you have friends/family with great connections". Not really a scaleable solution." Actually very scalable. Social networks grow faster the further you reach. I got my first 'serious'

I love the freedom I have with C/C++ and although it's true I used a lot more Java than C at university, when speed is of relevance I usually go with C/C++ (usually a weird mix of both). And if it's not, my first choice is Python. Though it

MAC and IP are in two different layers of OSI model and while both are technically addresses, they are independent of each other and their role is different. Not every network uses IP addressing and not every device has a MAC address.

While I don't agree with the idea of "losing friends", I do agree with the quote. I recently experienced a huge change of environment (different country, different people I'm spending time with) and I can clearly see the impact it had on me

I don't think you can buy those anymore, unless you go for an old one. The last Dell with 16:10 screen was M6500, I believe. Now the best you can hope for is 1920x1080.
