Off topic, but I just had to know. I read somewhere that you started 4Chan as a way for people to share images with one another. My question: When you came up with this idea, did you have any idea what kinds of things the internet would wan

At this point I guess anyone who works for Media Temple has lost confidence in their founder. He stated that he is proud to have been acquired by Godaddy, so that means one of two things. Either he has incredibly poor judgement, or he is fl

Unfortunately the industry adapted to the financial aid, and and by now the price of tuition has completely gobbled up any discount the aid may have provided. Sure, people who couldn't have gone to school in the past are able to do so,

Distrowatch tracks hits per day, not installed user base. I love Linux Mint, but I doubt it has a larger user base than Ubuntu. However, it may eventually. Mint has been consistently winning on Distrowatch since 2011, the year Unity was rel

It is refreshing to see a telecom executive make a statement like that, but its hard not to feel as if it might just be a clever marketing tactic. Apparently he used to be the Chief Executive of AT&T Asia. I wonder how cellular service

I'm glad that T-Mobile has become a customer focused company in recent months, but let's not forget that just a short while ago, they were just like all of the other major carriers. T-Mobile had a sudden change of heart not becaus

Instead of silently down-voting, why don't you counter with information that supports the opposite? Perhaps you know someone who has a good experience as a vendor that uses Paypal. Sadly, I myself know multiple dealers that shut their

Exactly, Back when HL2 came out, I didn't want to install Steam, but ultimately I wasn't going to miss out on the sequel to the best FPS ever made. Then again, it's far easier to install Steam than it is for the average perso
