I own that this probably won't be a popular idea, since it generally doesn't appeal to people outside a certain age-group (not that I know what age group you're in), but a longboard sounds like a pretty good option for you, depending on the

Alternatively, buy the international edition, which is usually the exact same book but soft-cover, at half price. You can usually make it back, or even turn a bit of profit, at the end of the year.

I don't think his/her issue was with the fact that this has been posted before or that it's "old", the article certainly isn't, but with the fact that the article is describing going into this datacenter as a rare experience. Apparently, it

Slightly related: There were a couple days way back that I really wanted to learn to type on a dvorak keyboard (later lost interest). One of my friends was doing the same (he also later lost interest) and gave me the tip that I should figur

Why apache and not nginx? Not trying to hate on apache, I'm about to launch a similarly designed product but we're going with nginx due to speed and concurrency concerns.

To anyone late to the party, the original title of the post pointed out that G+ has apparently surpassed LinkedIn in usage, which might explain why many posts focus on LinkedIn as a site for comparison. The post was on the front-page with t

Another problem that needs to be handled is how to keep the source code secret. For open source/free games this isn't a huge concern, but for a triple-A company, or a company making a multiplayer game, keeping the source code out of those h

If you use the "always turn right" rule then mazes are just tedious no matter how many dead-ends there are. Still, awesome little game considering it's platform.

Once (begin assumption here) autonomous cars become the norm I don't think this will be a problem. The reason speed limits exist at all is because we don't want people who are not physically capable of driving at that speed (poor eyesight,

Most of those "republican" artists are country music artists, while most of the "democrat" artists are pop/rap (although it's easy to confuse the two these days). I would expect the rest of the world would not find country music as appealin

I agree that it's probably a viral marketing campaign, but I think you may have the wrong idea about reddit users solving this. Looking at the ones who seem to have cracked it a few are accounts over a year old, which isn't bulletproof but

I had thought this was due to a glitch caused by adblock plus, since if you rewind back you can watch the part that skipped so it's not an intentional thing. I haven't actually gotten to testing it yet though.

I think he wasn't referring to the demo itself, which obviously should show off as many nauseating effects as it has, but to future devs who might use this library.

That grey text-shadow on top of the lake picture looks horrible, especially at my resolution since some of the text overlaps the mountains which makes the shadow stick out like a sore thumb. Other then that, looks like your standard bootstr

I don't think it was meant to be a competitor to the Air, although we'll have to wait on the pricing to see what Microsoft is actually trying to do here. But in all probability this is an iPad competitor, and iPads fall short in the exact s

Based on your argument, calling someone a dick would be sexist as well. I'm not arguing that the author is right to use douchebag; he was trying for entertainment value but to me it came across as unnecessary. But getting worked up because
