My sarcasm meter is faulty. Are you being sarcastic, or genuinely serious?

Yeah. My $1400 laptop, and 3 years officially up next month. Funny thing is, because of the GPU (GTX260M) I'm pretty confident that I can easily pull another year out of this. Unless they launch a new console. It's strange that not just gam

Not just that, in fact, a guy from Canonical commented on reddit saying that this specific model was certified for ubuntu.

Everytime someone makes such a comment, my mind is blown at how we already live in the future. Just a few weeks ago if someone would've told me that they're planning to _downscale_ to 1920x1200 on a _15"_ screen, on a portable computer I wo

Why? Apple products have always been such that to gain maximum "value" they need to be bought at launch. And isnt an OS upgrade going to be 'just' $30?

This is true. They have practically everything on you right from your full name to company you work for, to PAN card info and your salary and investments. Even if I trust _you_ how sure can I be that you won't get hacked. May we ask you how

Your post is very informative. Thank you for that. If I may ask, don't you think decisions related to the "feel" of any game/entertainment device rests squarely on the shoulders of the art director? I feel that statements such as that on ar

But lets be honest, Steve wasn't a paragon of virtue himself. Actually the more I read about him (just read the June Fast company article) the more I think he lets his emotions dictate his corporate actions. I mean, who ever publicly announ

Probably similar to the confusion caused by "EU" and "eurozone".

In addition to that, Stephen Wolfram himself is pretty smart even if he behaves like a dick.

Yes! Exactly that one. Thank you.

A black hole is technically a single point. The part of the hole that we colloquially refer to is the event horizon. The headline speaks of universes "inside" a black hole, not an event horizon. There's a brilliant explanation on reddit by

Since there's no concept of space and time "inside" a blackhole, I think it would be better to think of blackholes as doors to different rooms in a huge mansion rather than each room having a smaller room contained inside it.

Maybe not lying per se, but embellishing the truth definitely occurs. It isn't unheard of people not being able to conceptually plow through the FizzBuzz even with a few years of experience.

I think it was vWorker, but you're right. They have a time tracking tool which randomly takes screenshots, and webcam shots. Now I don't know about screen shots, but for Udacity the final exam tracker should be allowed to randomly take webc

It may sound like a minor detail, but if you specifically select the colour, red (which obviously is not part of your colour scheme), it's almost assured that they won't touch it. And by putting the "advanced" button in your settings page i

This actually brings about an interesting question. Is it better to have multiple items do one thing well each, or have everything under one roof?

>They are willing to kill a product that takes very little time to maintain and it generates $18k/month in profit. This. I didn't and still don't understand why they want to kill it.

That and Ansys AutoDYN have given me enough grief over the years. I look forward to software looking like, and having the ease of use of the CryEngine 3.

Wait, what do you mean by "with license mandating a certain maximum level of damage"?

by sigkill 14y ago
Crazy more on the weird sense. If it did any well, I bet it was PURELY due to marketing.

Wow, that product is crazy. Was it a success?

You're on HN. This puts you far above the "average person". You probably have critical thinking, and problem solving abilities that not many people have. My guess is that once tech. penetration reaches a critical mass where the rewards for

Welp my 2048-bit key may not float there. This is ridiculous, I never though it'd be THIS bad. And why are they asking for the "decryption key", in two parts?!

by sigkill 14y ago
This is exactly what I was thinking. Not only that, this also leads to a slippery slope argument. Maybe later they'll announce that, in certain crime infested areas they have slightly stronger non-lethal weapons and allow it to escalate i

Exactly my point. Just because this time around, people who matter (i.e. people with money) lost money, the real smart folks totally don't get the recognition. But I'm sure that at facebook offices atleast they'll hopefully be recognized an

Can't we all rest at peace knowing that the facebook guys priced it perfectly and raised the maximum amount of money they could and these high frequency traders and investment bankers couldn't manage to play on perception to make their shar

Oh yes, I totally forgot Instant Search. So if I understood you correctly, Google gives Mozilla money to set the home page to Google.com and not the other way around. I guess that makes more sense that way. Thank you.

by sigkill 14y ago
It's strange because Mozilla gives Google money, and I don't really know how they make money from Chrome.
