Too bad. Programing or any place in the world isn't some special place for poorly socialized men to hang out and ... what... hide? You know what would be good? Learning social rules and improving. Them maybe his life wouldn't suck and he c

Also this is the first time I've heard of Yammer, while Yahoo is big and old. Is this even a likely occurrence? Have they had or hired many or any yahoo ex employees in the past? Headline read to me "Small no name startup says they won't

Why are people so upset with Yahoo? Apple is still incredibly popular with the tech crowd, I bet many of these blogs and comments were written with their hardware and software, and they are currently suing just about every phone manufacture

The second moreso. That writers can "accidentally" write these worlds, and they and most males in the audience don't even give it pause. But what about current day women. You think they'd be thrilled watching that? How it to your sisters, m

It all comes down to insurance. No one generally pays out of their pocket, they pay with insurance money. The reason you pay so much at a bank for a tiny box, where as, space wise, you pay a fraction for your appartment, or essentially cha

This especially seems hard to certify. Bitcoin aims to be quasi anonymous. Users could just log into their own systems and transfer coins to another anonymous wallet elsewhere and then try and claim robbery. Or be rooted (by say script ki

How did the attackers know what they were looking for. I'm going to assume that it's a small minority of linode users who have bitcoins on their machines. How were just these users targeted so accurately? What tied together knowledge they

It's good that the US is still the land of "Innocent until proven guilty" and not vice-versa or even secretly guilty while it's convenient.

How did this domain seizure work? I understood it when it happened in the US since they own .com and are the jurisdiction for registrars like godaddy.com, but how does this work from the UK?

I don't buy this argument. About half of it is that Microsoft will be able to leverage it's dominant desktop market share, but if that were the case why have all previous MS phones and tablets failed. This isn't like it's Microsoft's first

Also you're confusing "the internet" with "the web" I think. Most mobile apps are internet backed. Even the games these days all tie into "openfient" for global scoreboarding and acheivment tracking. And most big sites like google reader a

We're still trying to find the balance of local and cloud. Desktop apps were great in the 90s because they leverage the local machine's speed and hardware (there weren't any mp3 or jukebox webapps in the 90s, games etc). But as the browser

Which may be acceptable if we read science to equate to biochemisty. But the author said "Science is failing us" not "Biochemistry". And I still disagree, there is still tons of new amazing and effective stuff being churned out. If you want

I also don't think it's always the case disproving something is a step backwards, that still enhances our understanding of the topic. Sure newton was essentially wrong, but a) newtonian physics is still a fine short hand for near earth simp
