The obvious solution would be to buy fewer smart boards this year, along with the stands, and then buy the rest of the smart boards and stands the next year.

The online material is a virtual lab where you can test out the things you learn in the book by breaking actual web applications. Technical books on niche subjects rarely leave the authors rolling in money, so it would be pretty silly to ex

Click-bait. The suspect had a plea agreement. I'm not sure why there's a question whether he surrendered his password or not. He obviously did else he wouldn't have an agreement anymore.

Their keyboards are notorious for being just plain defective. The issue with the Ultrapro was that it would randomly drop keystrokes if you tried typing at a decent rate. Some people might not have had this issue, but it was nearing epidemi

Sadly, it looks like more thought went into the response for the petition about building a death star. As far as the claim of "Hiding behind an authoritarian regime." I'm sure he would have loved to take refuge in a free coun

Its a form of wealth distribution that's going to have the largest negative impact on the lower and middle class. I agree we need to do something to solve the problem of poverty in this country, but this doesn't seem like it would

Really? His book is probably the most obnoxious thing I've ever read. The first 50 pages are about how naturally awesome he is at everything. It reads like one of those scummy get rich quick infomercials.

Moleskines look like nice notebooks, but the paper actually does lack quality. It feathers and bleeds with most nice pens and pretty much all fountain pens.

I think that all types of personal information, even metadata, should require a warrant in order to collect it. A warrant issued by the normal legal system, as opposed to a secret court. As far as the landscape of intelligence. That's

That person didn't give a million dollars to charity because he actually thought that a red Mac Pro was worth a million dollars, he gave a million dollars to charity because he was an incredibly nice person.

If the Mac Pro was the first object ever made with red anodized aluminum, I'd agree that it was probably a non-trivial process. That's clearly not the case here.

I think Jony is even more pretentious than Steve. Isn't he the one that used red anodized aluminum to make a Mac Pro for a charity and then acted as if he "designed" a special version?

Why would it be a good time to ask for a pardon? The only thing the current administration loves more than jailing whistleblowers is drone-striking civilians. Why ask when the answer is obviously going to be 'Fuck No?'

Its not just a fucked company, its most of the large defense contractors. The building I worked in had people from most of the largest companies. I don't think we had anyone from Raytheon, but most of the other big names were present.
