Very cool. I was looking for something like this.

Typical Facebook. Push out a major privacy flaw, then back-tread and play damage control.

Free software has been around far longer than any of the apps/websites mentioned here.

If women decide not to do Computer Science because they don't like their male peers, I think you're right that there is a more fundamental problem: they probably didn't want to do Computer Science that much in the first place. I would never

By making the "women in tech" conversation about anything other than talent, you are immediately creating another "affirmative action" situation. Why should female applicants get a hand-out over more qualified male applicants? That doesn't

If I were interested in becoming a cook, I would take the classes and become a cook. If I were interested in becoming a dancer, I would damn well become a dancer. You can't just say it's the mens' fault. That is disingenuous and insulting t

I agree a thousand times. If women want to do tech (read: if they are interested in tech) then they will do tech, and good for them. But god damn it, stop complaining about it. There may be a distinct lack of women in the industry, but stop

You're completely missing the point. You wouldn't leak to The New York Times because they have no secure mechanism of any kind for leaking. WikiLeaks is not just a two-bit news outlet looking for stories. They continue to maintain one of th

This is nothing more strawman justification meant to distract us from the real issue. Android has nothing to do with network neutrality. The software on our handsets has no effect on how the ISPs manipulate the Internet.

There are several torrents floating around that are essentially a compendium of self-reliance information. I downloaded one a year or two ago. Just a few of the titles included: - FM 21-76 (US Army Survival Manual) - Bushcraft (Canadian Sco

I used to use ScreenToaster, but it stopped working in Chrome on Linux for me. Screencast-o-matic seems to do the job.

True, but it does create a lot of waste.

This is kind of a dumb idea, even on paper (pardon the pun). Deliberately crippling print functionality is a little gimmicky, despite the good intentions of the WWF.

I fail to see any way Wikileaks could be considered "bad for the people." It might be "bad" for secretive figures such as politicians and corporations, but I can't imagine how these leaks could have a negative effect on the general public.

Internet Explorer 6 is dead. Developers need to forget about it. IE7 is the oldest MS browser our company will test for, unless we are specifically asked otherwise by a client, which will obviously cost more. Supporting old and broken softw

Honestly, it depends on what you want to do. If you want to keep doing Web development, I won't lie to you: you are probably not going to use 75% of your CS course knowledge. You'll be hacking in JS, HTML, CSS and some backend language, and
