Holy crap, this brings back some memories. Very cool! I also remember playing "Весёлые Футболисты" (Fun Futballers).

For usability sake I would also allow for a way to tag a subnet with a friendly moniker. If this takes off, it could be crowdfunded functionality. By the way. Very neat twist on discussion boards. :)

Still patiently waiting for a miracle in the area of male pattern baldness... That is, something other than a can of crap you sprinkle on your head. Sigh.

I find this totally hilarious. The NSA can come out and say whatever the hell they want and everyone just buys it because they don't have a choice. What are we going to do, go look at their data logs to make sure they're not lying

For the first time in a very long time I can say that this valuation is very reasonable.

By definition, I am a chronic loner. I've been a loner for most of my life. I've had periods when I'd stay awake at night because it would scare the hell out of me. Lonely people will inevitably start questioning themselves.

All luck aside, i wonder how much being an MIT graduate played a role in successfully getting DropBox off the ground. I always get the thought that walking out of a reputable school opens a lot of opportunities like this, which is why i rea

I'd have to agree. Facebook is becoming the same trash that Myspace used to be a few years back. They seem to struggle even with ads. I don't know how many times I've logged into my Facebook account to see a Software Develope

Am I the only one wondering why Yahoo! is still around? I struggle to even comprehend what the hell they even do today after jumping out of the search engine race.

This was an immensely interesting read even though only high-level details were discussed. Always impressed with CloudFare architecture. Thanks for a great read!

This sounds more and more like everyone involved in this at Yahoo did zero research prior to making this acquisition. Well, either that or Yahoo was determined to kill any competition before possibly rolling out with a similar product. Rega

Thiel's coming off a bit hypocritical. What was innovative about PayPal? Facebook? Apparently there was enough innovation there for Thiel to invest his time and money. I think to non-technical people there is nothing innovative about Twitte

I have a lot of family living in Armenia and i never caught any discrimination when i was out and about in Yerevan. Not towards me or my mother who is Russian. And I'm more Russian-looking than Armenian, with light skin and brown hair. Just

I don't know if anyone from the Soviet era would tell you that antisemitism did not exist. I don't know why any Russian would tell you otherwise. It always did and it does now. Russians are incredibly discriminatory, especially in bigger ci

Comparing carving through a concrete wall to freedom for 20 years and building a startup in a 4 or 5 months is very humorous and is like comparing apples and oranges. You'd never feel like you completely failed if your startup failed. The n

Keep a blog where you "document" any issues you keep running into. By the time you're done with the post you'll either remember it or if you don't you'll know exactly where to find the answer if you need it.

Here is a quick story about Russian police from a few years ago. This should give you an idea why a dashboard camera is not an option, but a necessity. My mother was in Russia visiting my uncle (her brother) in Krasnodar 3 years ago. He pic

You may be onto something. For some reason i thought it was a large formation when in reality it is only half a centimeter tall. At that size i don't see why it couldn't be some sort of weird rock formation. The two circular shapes above lo

It's not really the overall shape that bothers me. It's the two shiny circular objects on top which make it look like some sort of mechanical object.

That just doesn't look like a rock formation to me. And nothing shown in that article even remotely resembles this object. If i had to guess i'd say we could be looking at our own trash from failed exploration programs.
