Now add a fifth of whiskey to the experiment and have the conversation start with "Ey, you, c'mear, y'know what?" (That's how some of us perceive random strangers engaging us in frivolous chit-chat, regardless of th

I interpreted that as part of their legal obligation to add eavesdropping capability to Skype, which was probably quite difficult with the more decentralized network. But overall, I'm pleasantly surprised by the number of pleasant surp

I'm still waiting for the "iCandybar" form factor fad to fade so we can get the modern-day evolution of the N93, with 41 megapixels and real depth of field, etc. I won't stop holding my breath.

I do agree it would have been logical and probably straightforward to integrate RSS into Google+, but to say it would have radically affected the success of the service is going too far. If anything, it would make RSS more compelling to tho

That was the sequence to accept a security transfer and print the screen (hundreds a day). Then I would match the print-outs to trade confirmations and type the data back into a spreadsheet. Sort of a digital equivalent of digging a hole in

In case people think you were being sarcastic (and maybe you were), a large bank used to pay me $10/hour to push F11, F7, F7, F2 for the first 2-3 hours of each day.

Yes any patents would have expired, although the copyright still has upwards of 100 years left. I don't think reading some source code will put anyone at risk of frivolous lawsuits (unless they actually do infringe, in which case it wo

The movie industry should be more afraid of the video game industry than of piracy. It's probably less than 5-10 years before it will be possible to auto-generate somewhat entertaining feature-length sequences from the viewer's&#x

Yep, it's also a good practice for programming. Describe every single-letter variable in the README, which everyone obviously reads and memorizes before diving into the code. I still do this as a throwback to the days when we wrote cod
