I'm the opposite, I loathe TV news. It is especially bad now during election season. Drivel, platitudes, sensationalized crap, and one feel-good story about the local kid who saved a puppy or whatever. I can do without.

Is it time for an OpenGL revolution? Perhaps not, lets wait until Valve has a chance to fix their D3D issues. It seems to me the blog post was more about success in ferreting out problems with drivers and APIs on Linux and Windows than pu

My brother subscribes to HBO solely for Game of Thrones . And then he drops the subscription after each season is over. I wonder how common that behavior is.

As a long time Linux user, I think this would be very tough. Linux users are used to free software and having everything available through our package managers. We generally don't purchase and download software, mess with serial numbers, li

If you haven't yet seen Blade Runner , I emphatically advise you to avoid the version with narration (theatrical release).

Of course that may be YouTube (and Google's) whole point for making this change. "skipro865" calling you an "ugly douchebag" doesn't quite have the same feeling as having "George Jones" call you an "ugly douchebag". This is almost certain

Don't forget Twitlonger ("Blogless writing for tweeters"?). I stumbled across an article written by Jason Alexander on there today.

Obviously I meant Coursera not Code Academy.

Yes, this is why I prefer Udacity, too. By all means Codeacademy should continue with the scheduled courses and deadlines, there are benefits to that. Just leave the content and discussions available for those who want to self-study at thei

Most of the top colleges for CS have their curriculum and course catalogs online. Use that information to map out your own path.

You can't say that people are fat because they're slobs with no self control, no, it's fructose, fast food ads, or whatever. I'm going to accept your premise that people are fat because they are slobs with no self-control. So what now? Th

el-get is really for picking up the loose ends that don't make it into packages. Most Emacs users should start out with package and only move to el-get if they really need it.

Thank you for clarifying, I just assumed search results would be missing. Which now that I think about it doesn't make much sense.

It doesn't have anything to do with "corporations", people dislike/distrust Oracle specifically.

For the uninitiated, RedHat was so unhappy with Oracle repackaging/reselling a nearly identical system that they started obfuscating their patches: http://www.itworld.com/open-source/139165/red-hat-defends-ke... http://www.h-online.com/o

I wholeheartedly agree with the premise, but not necessarily the solution. I've been bookmarking crap for a very long time and even though I am extremely organized, I have ended up with a mess. One of these days I'm going to take the time t

How can you even be a PHP programmer without a sense of humor? There are many people who just put their heads down and get a bunch of work done in PHP (or Perl/C++/Java or whatever) and don't really pay attention to or participate in the

The combination of Wolfram's awkwardness and intelligence/accomplishments results in what seems like hubris, but I think he is just trying to state things plainly. In this instance the "left to me" phrase simply means this is what he is now
