I recall talking to a school friend, who happened to land a job in Microsoft working on DRM. That was their daily routine. They knew that no matter how good they were, any new measure would be countermeasured within months. Target was to be

What would storms of such duration mean for human base on Mars? Would they have alternative energy sources beyond solar panels? It's been two and a half months without Sun.

I see this as perfect opportunity for Microsoft to show how they're all open and transparent. 1. Introduce a bug which only 1% would encounter. 2. Wait for it to get noticed. 3. Fix the bug, explain the causes in detail, thank everyone

There was a time I had to read XLS (BIFF formats) in PHP. Poked around, found some libraries (slow as hell), decided to port[1] one of them (python's xlrd). What followed, even though it was almost 1:1 port, was an inevitable loss of h

Here in our country we have an option to split a land plot into smaller ones. If for some reason you cannot take neighbouring numbers, you get assigned letters. We have some land plots, which have been divided into many smaller ones. So, th

I don't want to oppose tragic nature of this. Yet, it's interesting that w.cd being pure piracy site is praised for content and community which kept it online and supported. So you must understand now, why piracy is such an issue
