Exactly. Like the detective pointing out the killer's master plan, he was just recounting the cause. Don't shoot the messenger!

Not arguing against what you are saying, but there's a significant difference between "making out individual pixels" and "noticing a difference".

You make a good point, but I think you attached the wrong conclusion. This is definitely time-relative. But you could use light-painting to capture that. Just add a dimension; brightness, color, size. It just, obviously, requires more tim

I did some design and coding work for the adult industry for a while. The company I worked for had one large members area with all kinds of niches, with thousands of sites acting as doorways into it. Instead of a nice overview, and a smooth

Some of us only skim articles. It's not a sin.

Read the article. They're playing the same game. Eg, just one game, being controlled by bunches of people. One choice. Once. And if I'm right (never played Yellow), you're not allowed to pick a starting Pokemon in Yellow. I b

They should just factor the bids. Both bid 10, but his counts as 10 and hers as 15 or 20 for win/lose purposes. Bam. Solved. (read: "this post is slightly tongue-in-cheek")

Read the last line. The one starting with the words I think . I was just pointing out what the OP meant. In other words, don't address your comment to me. I'm on your side.

I'm going to be ridiculously blunt: Assuming the following: - the amount of women in tech is a fraction of the amount of men - the intelligence/experience/skills of all of these men and women is about even - percentage-wise t

Dear HN: I'm not too familiar with the situation over there, and have what might be a dumb question. Are there any companies that will benefit from this because they're already on their way to roll out their own lines? I'm th

I'd rather think it's a personality trait. Even someone who's not busy, or successful, can come across as direct and succinct.

Nah, I believe that. I just expected Google would be a bit more anal about stuff like that. And if you'd ask me about my opinion; I feel fine about them hosting it.

Anecdotally, during last year's annual Christmas Monopoly game, my mother-in-law (who was out the game early) flashed us a YouTube movie of a lady getting her privates waxed, asking what the f was up with YouTube for allowing this. I m

I think you'd be wrong. We're building a survey app for dentists to give to their patients. We also have a dental practice management app. And an practice management education tool. I've also worked on monitoring apps used by

Funny. I remember calling the Dutch Nintendo help-line (from a land-line no less) to find out how to get to the final castle's backdoor. This is back when I was about 10 years old. Now, there's people coding games in that game by

Wasn't that autoexec.bat? I could be wrong here, but I think that's what I used ;) Same methods!

Oh, I guess we disagree on that part then. To me it's pretty clear that they mean there's no way for their beloved baby (the site) to be returned because the person holding the power to return it is unwilling to do so. A bit like

I'm obviously not talking about actual rape happening. But let's for a second compare it to "I'll beat you up, son!" and the like. It's the internet. It happens. I'm not saying it's right, I'm ju
