Where are the good CS jobs in VT? I'm from the NEK and in college now, but I had resigned myself to not being able to afford living in VT for a long time (got some serious college loan debt coming up) I had an NYC internship this past summe

Counter-anecdote: you don't know how much on the web isn't flash until you pick up an iPad. We must use very different subsets of the Internet, because the videos I run into (on random, lower profile sites, no less) don't require flash. H

But then the trouble is that you broke into someone's house, not that you were on heroin. I think it'd be reasonable to make the penalty for crimes committed under the influence to be equivalent to conciously choosing to commit the crime. T

Which unfortunately includes my hometown in Vermont (as well as anywhere remotely close to it). I've been stopped at border-patrol checkpoints 100 miles by driving (so shorter as the crow flies) from the border before. It's certainly "unrea

Or at least, being a trained killer seems to imply that you're a real man.

It could also be people laying minecart track. This, unfortunately, completely kills the server and makes it need to be restarted.

Do you know of any major OSes that actually have resolution indepdence? I've never heard of an OS auto-adjusting the DPI (Windows certainly doesn't, and Linux never has for me), nor have I seen any OS do so correctly even when you do it man

I'm not sure that the exact same discussion would be had if she were a Democrat, but not because people would be giving her a free pass. The Republican party makes it a major plank to support large business and to support issues that benefi

Indeed. The underlying assumption that a "QA process" as traditionally conceived would have prevented this sort of problem is fairly faulty, I think.

I don't know if a law compelling you to reveal encryption keys to the government/police/courts is valid in the UK. I do, however, know that such a law is morally reprehensible. Quite frankly, it is in the interest of the people to ensure en

The site wont display downvotes in excess of 4. That way, no comments are publicly downvoted into oblivion, but they do continue to lose karma.

That's exactly what I mean - not having access to Steam servers is enough of a carrot that games like TF2 aren't heavily pirated. Some of my friends and I used to pirate a lot of games in high school; someone would find a copy and we all co

Though you might be able to pirate Steam games, you can't play online, which is the major draw for a large number of them. Regular apps don't really have that effect, though.

Perhaps its not possible, but I think communities should aspire to never split like that. If helping eachother build cool projects is a tenant of the community, then it should be included in everyone's feed. If it isn't, than we should not

Your comment was an Android Fanboy equivalent to the iPhone Fanboy posts. Some of the points are over-extended, the conclusion doesn't really match the support. It's all a 'belief' thing, which is what iPhone people do and get downvoted for

I feel like hardware TCP/IP stacks would probably massively improve performance by removing all details of the communications from the OS and processor. In saber OSes, this would just mean that one of the higher levels of abstraction would

Assuming the parallel name to "Teach for America" is intentional, one of the primary motivators is missing: paying off college loans. Teach for America pays 100% of interest accrued while in the program, and gives you (admittedly small) awa

If they do, hopefully they are including the C02 to build the gasoline car, as well as all emissions in all stages of procuring the fuel for both drivetrains. Doing a dust-to-road analysis of impact is very hard.

It seems like the pervailing thought is that developers are not the same as the idea guys, but I can't for the life of me understand why not. marknutter is 100% correct. I can't imagine founding a startup that had a non-developer "idea guy.

I thought remembered a court precedent in the US that ruled being compelled to divulge encryption keys was equivalent to being compelled to hand over keys to locked places (like a safe), which is historically required. That said, I can't fi
