The title did seem negative, and I was surprised to find that someone actually had a positive experience with T-Mobile. I was a T-Mobile customer off and on for about 7 years total. For the last contract I had signed with them, I made sure

This should be common sense, but as you stated, people seem to forget. We have supposedly spent a trillion dollars on the war on drugs, it seems silly for this guy to think he didn't warrant at least a multi-million dollar investigatio

Thanks. I'm still in the phase where I can't build anything non-trivial, except for simple web applications. When I'm ready, I plan to start studying these resources.

Both links to Amazon go to the same book. What was the other book that you were suggesting?

As the article stated, the field of security is huge. According to NIST, there are over 40 sub-specialties. The example that immediately springs to mind is a low-level CND position. Sure, the ability to program would make you a better CND a

I can't imagine the existence of a security professional who hasn't already met someone who does. They are out there, and it's nearly impossible to get them to understand why they remain in entry-level positions for so long.

If a person prefers using a trackball, that's great, but when the same tools used by the pros costs about $50, there isn't really any other reason to use anything else.

Every year since I joined the military in 2003, the government has pretended that they weren't going to pass a budget and that Soldiers won't get paid. They are generally full of shit about this issue just like they are full of sh

I wholeheartedly agree that trackballs suck for FPS games, but most pro FPS players advocate keeping the mouse at a fairly low DPI, so that deficiency isn't really the problem. I have trouble believing that any device that relies on th

Whether its true or not, he probably meant it literally. He claims to have remained on his own property for the majority of the time that the police were searching it.

For me the awkwardness started when I realized that Charlie Sheen was playing himself. A morally deficient, manipulative, self-centered douche-bag who happens to be hell bent on self-destruction, yet he always narrowly avoids it due to his

I agree. My salary at my IT job pays about 20k less than I would get if I lived 3 hours east of where I'm at. While it's considerably more expensive to live there, I am still losing about 10k / year.

It's not that people don't want to live in rural areas, on the contrary most people would probably like to. It's just that there aren't any jobs in rural areas, and ultimately putting food on the table is what matters.

No one has made one yet, because the Surface wasn't popular enough to make it profitable. Microsoft proved with the first generation that they have the chops required to make hardware that's just as nice as Apple's. Everyone

I write essays for my classes and even code a little bit pretty much everywhere. In the car, lying in bed, on the sofa. The funny thing is, I did most of this on an iPad with a Clamcase Pro. If someone didn't want to do productive inpu

With newer versions of Windows, Microsoft has attempted to bring powershell on par with the linux terminal. Supposedly, every admin function possible in the OS is now capable of being performed in Powershell. The only downside is that some

Still no keyboard that can be used without a table. Most people spend less than $700 on a laptop. Not many people are going to spend more than that on a device that was intentionally rendered less capable so Microsoft could sell gimicky key

The Steve Jobs that left Apple as the most valuable company in the world had matured quite a bit from the one that released those.

I never really bought in to the whole "Apple can't survive without Steve Jobs" thing. I think that they are perfectly capable of designing elegant, functional devices. Unfortunately, I don't think IOS 7 and the iPhone 5C

Did he know that they were going to be terrible? Given Apple's history of making attractive devices, I for one didn't see this coming.

I think Steve Jobs himself would have cried if he saw either IOS 7 or the iPhone 5C. One looks clunky and amateurish; the other is simply hideous and was designed specifically to increase margins while delivering an inferior product to the

That page needs to add an explanation. I've seen similar images before, but nearly every commenter on that site seems to think that they selected a bunch of really hot women to represent what the average woman should look like and post

Tablet games have terrible controls, even when they are implemented as well as possible. There are certain types of games that are well-suited to touch, like Angry Birds, but most games are really awkward to play without a mouse/keyboa

Like I said, that's just a guess based both on the severity of his crimes and the tendency of the United States to overreact to anything that involves a computer. I could very well be wrong.

LulzSec was not Anonymous. While some of its membership may have overlapped, that doesn't really mean anything, because anyone can be a part of Anonymous, simply by carrying out acts in the group's name. Sabu forgot to activate TO
