Do these numbers get inflated for a programmer with ADHD? I find it takes me much longer to get back on track after interruptions. I work from home and deal with a ridiculous amount of interruptions. After 9am, I usually have to just give u

In the 1960's, super computers couldn't recognize cats in youtube videos. Today they can. Mr. Bruce Sterling, I kindly beg to differ. The notion that there isn't any money in the singularity is true, but that wouldn't be a reason that corp

The popular pi distros usually support SSH by default. Another solution would be software that finds the pi on your network. You could just use an ip scanner, but a specialized one could filter out any other devices that happen to be runnin

Well I certainly misjudged the articles title, this makes a lot more sense now. I guess the Phish crowd hasn't gone all business savvy after-all.

Do those casino's sell their gamblers coca-cola? Better go after them, or maybe even pepsi! Those drinks are being sold to gamblers and these soft drink companies are benefiting directly from gambling proceeds!

Obviously it takes an individual to carry out the violence, but governments have been responsible for organizing mass violence. The millions of deaths from war would have been extremely unlikely to happen unless orchestrated by a government

Every time I hear about the TSA trying to expand to other places such as this, I can't help but think they are like the Westboro Baptist Church of the government agencies.. and I believe that's really saying something. That's right TSA, con

Wouldn't cutting off support and updates for the game be a better alternative than shutting it down though? If someone is hooked on the game, they won't care much for new updates. If they get bored, they find a new game to play. As long as
