In the future we will DDOS the surveillance systems with realistic looking images of ourselves doing one of every kind of thing, as to blur the boundaries of what is real and what's not.

Hi Martin, I love the simplicity of Amon (and those worried about installing via a curl script, I'm sure he can give you manual directions). We don't really need app profiling like New Relic provides and we have a lot of clusters

He didn't mention the good stuff, if I were to guess: the joy of seeing his kids grow up. Falling in love. Teaching students to the best of his ability. Becoming an expert in his field. It sounds to me as if he has had a great life so

The long-term ramifications of a guaranteed $25M/yr for that amount of years could start science labs, schools, provide free education for a small country for 2 generations.. although you may find you could do OK spending the 2-3% inte

Something like offering $500,000,000 up front? There's no question I'd take the $25 mil offer, put it in a trust and seriously mess with the world (in a nice way).

Often with AngularJS, after minification, you find you've not properly injected a service or something and looking for a missing 'a' is near impossible. This would be really useful to hunting that down. Would make a great pos

Right - if MKLinux hadn't of run, I might have discarded any interest in Linux for a few years, not learnt how to build my own PC boxes and stuck with Redhat (I think back then). After a successful initial experience I was ok dealing w

Isn't Moodle open-source? If you offered a wrapper for Moodle that made it a hell of lot nicer, maybe teachers could gradually move away from it towards a superior, affordable offering without the wrath of their powers-that-be. I don&#

I am seeing some private emails with subjects AND body, apparently spam but sometimes half-written content like "Dear John,". Someone build a spam bot and left the links out for indexing?

I have watched people google 'gmail' and ignoring the autocomplete, but clicking on the link that comes up in the search. At some point people were told "do it this way" and to change that would require a 30-minute handh

Yes, cigarettes are often sold as singles in areas around the world where tobacco sales aren't heavily regulated. So a pack of 20 cigarettes that costs $5 can be sold for .30c each one, giving a higher profit. This practice disappeared

Being offended is a moral issue and I agree, as a business you can't fight that 100%. However, being forced to conform to a business's view of your identity is unethical, especially as Google changed the rules - if they had indica

I disagree with you on that. While I haven't seen Soderbergh's version (I am too much in love with T's) I think the idea of communication is deeply embedded: he's saying, we can't communicate with ourselves - how co

I have about 15 droplets on DO right now and none of them are close to using a TB even over a year (but we don't use them for production). I'd bet they are banking on this for most cases. I checked out Verizon's new cloud bet

Take a village. Everyone earns $100,000 except you. You earn $80,000. How do you feel? Now reverse it. You earn $100,000. Everyone else earns $80,000. How do you feel? Those base feelings explains consumerism and envy.

I don't necessarily feel this way either however it's a thought experiment to pose in regards to the concept of "keeping up with the jones's" and explains a large part of the population's consumerist drive.
