Like I said, it's improbable somebody would go trough the trouble. But that doesn't mean it'd be impossible. Regarding oldskool sabotage, those aren't quite reliable to produce freak accidents. Too much chance and user b

The probability of a journalist investigating a big story in the atmosphere of recent scandals is significant. The probability of having a car crash, even a weird one is also quite significant. I won't comment on the (alleged) history

Breaking news, there are a lot of bad laws. Next up at 11, how to ignore idiotic laws and get into trouble. Neighbors say, they where such peaceful and intelligent people.

There are two separate but correlated issues. 1) SecureBoot on WART (windows on ARM) 2) SecureBoot on x86/64 The first issue (WART) is easily explained. Microsoft stipulates that ARM vendors may not accept any other operating system than Wi

Well, difficulty transfering money, why sure. But MtGoxes account being shut down, that would be news. Perhaps the nice lady should've stated which bank is telling her bullshit. Name and shame.

"after a failed attempt to do so via Mt. Gox, the value-setting Bitcoin exchange based in Japan; my bank refused to send funds to Mt. Gox’s account saying it was suspended" Funny how this journalist is the only one having gotten that. Seein

In python we've been having a yield statement for a long time. By far and large, it has not solved the issue of cooperative multitasking. Using it only leads to near incomprehensive code where everything becomes an iterable, and every call

For $12/hour you are not going to get the right stuff, not by a long shot. By rule of thumb, if you are paying less for a professional in a job that requires decades to do well, than you'd pay a McDonalds burger flipper, what you are going

HTML DRM consists of two parts. The first part is EME (extended media extension) that defines the API how a browser interacts with the CDM (the actual implementation of the DRM) The EME is what is being standardized. The CDM is what is up t

by pyalot2 14y ago
It is not hyperbole. EME is a plugin API, and the plugin is not specified, and that is what the DRM is. It is inevitable this will result in another rootkit fiasco. But worse than that, the working of the DRM (called a CDM) will also sacrif

You will get a Sony rootkit fiasco this time around as well. The HTML DRM (EME) is nothing but a plugin API. The plugin is something like Widevines DRM, called a CDM, (already in use on chromebooks) that browsers will no install on your mac

I agree with a lot of the points, but I'm taking a limited exception to loading screens. Sure, most of the time in ordinary websites there isn't a point. On the other hand, there is now a class of "website" (such as games, demos, productivi

Woah, I just realized that you draw the entire GUI by yourself. Don't get me wrong, that's pretty awesome in itself, I've done things like that myself. But I'd like to suggest (or perhaps inquire) why you wouldn't just overlay some html?

Sure, I don't disagree with Startup == Growth. I disagree that it means anything but (such as outside investment, winning the startup/facebook lottery, compounding, putting insane life crushing hours, etc.) There's a reason PG formulated it

by pyalot2 14y ago
That's one of several definitions of a startup, and it's not the only one, or even an accurate one. - There are any number of companies that started without outside investors. - There are any number of startups that take outside investment

by pyalot2 14y ago
You know that the line between a startup and a life-style business is pretty much non existent of course. Oh, and before we go into that "it's all immense stress, don't do it" thing, ever noticed how a ton of startups/founders are very fond

That, exactly that. There can be nothing wrong with you, and you're just a bit outside the norm when it comes to your emotions. Yet you're miserable beyond relief in any number of jobs, so you start to look for alternatives. Telling somebod
