This is an interesting moral debate - LA Noire was both a critical and monetary success AFAIK. Was this worth it? If you produce great art, do you have to worry about the "how"?

I may be out of line, but I don't think this article has made me any smarter. Do we really need to reiterate that you need to check references and code to hire well? I'm not by any means trying to insult the writer, just the relevance of it

I'm pretty sure the grandfather meant "released" in the sense of "I want the source code released" and not in the sense of "I want a product using it released".

So will this work from mobile browsers?

I've looked through a few and by the life of me I can't find one that is doing something only available with 3.0. Google changed a lot of stuff with the UI, yet non of the apps seem to utilize windowing or other new stuff. This is really ki

This keeps reminding me of that Daily WTF article where a sysadmin sends a warning about phishing spam with an example of one and gets hundreds of UN/PW pairs back... I think email should be taught is school.

16 character limit and at least some symbols... This is luxury compared to a lot of services, even online shopping or banking sites. Not salting though, should be against the law.

Or they are selling this info to a third party... I've heard of a story of a guy that used his British girlfriend's identity to sign up to one of your American internet (or cable) providers and than got a lot of spam for her, even though th

Nope. not only in Germany. Here is Israel we have more than one site that "close" for the Sabbath. It's moderately interesting to see how religion and the internet co exist.

So how many law enforcement agencies have the Python interpreter installed on their machine? Of course you can always py2exe this, write it in C/C++ (/C#). Hacking is easy, it just takes time and dedication.

It's great that you don't meet this since Python/Ruby were designed not to have the same problems C/C++ had.

The nice people on TV know even less than us. Only time will explain this. I'm sorry if you feel that sitting with popcorn and watching this mess and waiting for it to stabilize is worse than being an early adopter.

This reply makes the most sense in all of the threads here. We don't have enough info to make scientifically correct claims about Bitcoins but everyone keeps talking about it like it is figured out.

This is not an either or scenario. Both test different things and should be written. I don't want to criticize DB since god knows everyone makes stupid mistakes, but this finally convinced me that I will never pay them for their service and

Ahh, moo.com, my favorite site to check whether I have internet (so much faster to type than google.com). Thank you for having a pretty site.

It also has the Bethesda and US senate links in the end, making this look more like copy-paste of an older release. This is inconclusive though since the real LulzSec might copy paste from an older release to get all the ascii art.

Passwords seem to be hashed. I think this is to be expected since this is such a techy thing (currency?), but still nice to know. Now whether they are hashed and whether the algorithm used is safe are a different story.

Totally unrelated request - you posted your YC application a few years ago, but the link 404s. If this is intentional, you can forget it, but if not, I'd really would like to see it, Link in question is: http://files.dropbox.com/u/2/app.ht

I really love the distinction that a programmer programs, writing code and making executables, while a developer builds a product, and a software developer builds a product made out of code. Programs and products are two different thing in

I'm gonna say it is your browsers fault, since my Firefox 4 maximizes it on the screen it was on.

I've been noticing an increase in videos taken down due to copyright complains on my playlist. The real question I have is whether this is going to be another US centric product like Hulu.

This is outrageous! Rothschild st was built when fuzzy edges was the IN thing in architecture. Of course they look outdated now! In all seriousness though, on the Android I can't get a detailed view of Israel from any app the charts my move

I feel punked. The picture explaining their classification of startups has a blue underlined sentence. Clicking it just opened the picture, instead of bringing me to a list of top 100 sites as declared by google.

I feel like this is old news... I mean there are so many high profile tech companies being hacked, a random porn site seems like an easy target. Is there a point behind this?

When I was new to python I did exactly what you said, and discovered the following facts: 1. Reading a library you are using, even if it's a standard library like smtplib is fun and makes you smarter and your code better. 2. Python is such

I work at a huge tech company and in the new SVN repo I've created last week there's a folder named skunkworks. It's just easier to acknowledge these projects will happen. The repo hasn't hit it's 50th commit yet and there are already two p

Even if your original statement is correct, I think bar code scanners will quickly improve to accommodate it. My bar code scanner on a Desire took a few seconds more than usual too.

If you are really serious, does that mean that the county must provide iPhones to those that <GASP> don't have one?
