I don't think it's a "cargo cult" if the official docs mention and warn about entropy pool exhaustion.

The only fix patents really need is a decrease in time. Make it 2 or 3 years instead of 20(retroactive, no grandfather clause) and dump software/DNA/genetic patents. Go back to patents being actual inventions instead of ideas an

Yeah, the quote on that page mentions an even better litmus test for this: "Provide us with 15A outlets that give 19A of electricity." This should be an immediate red flag for any facilities manager reviewing the contract before

I don't think they did for the vehicle they took the picture of at the top of the Wired article. There's a clear difference between the clarity of the headlights.

Oh whoops, it was just the HSA withdrawal penalty that went up.

Agreeing to a 5% royalty is pretty crazy in my opinion. If you're even planning on being able to support just a modest salary for yourself with your game sales, Unity or CryEngine are better deals. The UE license is only worth it if

If you're going to use ruby, you may as well commit and use sprinkle. You still get to use all the shell scripts you want and you get the deployment power of capistrano. I've really enjoyed using it for my small provisioning req

Don't buy the ePub or PDF only versions of books. They do not give you files of either format. They're some weird Adobe DRM that can only be opened in Adobe Digital Editions.
