This argument just doesn't make sense. Its trivial to make this search, the OP just put a nice wrapper around it. There are two possible choices he could have made: Something shocking, like "playing hooky", that could get people in trouble

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but this doesn't, actually, do anything. As far as I knew, your MAC address was only relevant on the given network you are on. So, if you're on a Wireless network, this is useful, Google knows where that access

Looking at their "app store" it looks like exactly what it sounds like. Web Crawling. You don't need a nefarious goal to go out and crawl, it just seems rather inaccessible to the common person. While it would require quite a bit more struc

To make sure I understand this, BetFair is a simple betting platform. People make bets, and other people take those bets. What he proposes to do is play both sides of an event, and hope that some takes both of them. That way, regardless of

What? After reading that, all I got was "You can't be an expert when innovating". Ok, I can buy that. I don't, however, understand where on Earth he got the idea that the blogger is any different from the other people he listed at the end.

I hate to always be the person to ask for things, but does anyone have good resources on how to get started with this kind of stuff?

FTA: the rest went back into Breadpig, Inc. to purchase more inventory and fund our next project, the xkcd book, xkcd: volume 0. From the recent kerfuffle over Amazon eBooks, it seems that an average book takes about $10,000-15,000 to get

In that case, put some sort of contact info in your profile. I went to go send you an email, just to see what would happen, but the lack of contact didn't help anything.

I'm not convinced that using Wordpress is what directly caused this. From the article, this was a "quite popular website". If someone from, say, Google, got a keylogger on their computer, especially one that directly faces the internet, I w

That's a little bit of a stretch. MMOs aren't characterized by the game itself, but by the community. That's like saying Facebook is susceptible to piracy because there are clones of it.

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who posted stuff here, I've been looking for these kinds of resources for a while now, but never really asked. Oh, and I thought I would share this: http://users.cs.dal.ca/~inkpen/CSCI4161/4161_le

It would largely depend on how gracefully you degrade your service to those other 200 users. Take any game server with the concept of queues. They could (depending on the game, I know this isn't universal) take in more players than they all

I don't have a lot of experience programming, at least not professionally. I tend to hack a lot of quick scripts together, and have recently started working on some larger projects. Anyway, I figured it would be worth giving this a shot. I

I'm always a little confused about how much people love to bash WoW, and call it such a waste of time. Sure, there are people who throw away massive amounts of time into the game, but there are plenty of other people who play a reasonable a

It sounds obvious, but go out and talk to people. As a slowly reforming introvert, just sitting down and talking to a random person can do crazy things to the way you think.

The "All Amazon was saying" is because, reading the article with little-to-no outside information about the situation, the author makes it sound like Amazon isn't setting a price ceiling, but an absolute price. I was trying to verify that t

I haven't really been following this situation, and I'm far from an economics expert, so I have a few questions for anyone who understands this stuff better than I do: First off, I'm not quite sure about what the issue is. I seem to remembe

At the very least I hope these go to Market. This doesn't seem all that useful (at least not to me), but a USB device that can communicate via GSM sounds like it would be very fun to play with.

That would be very hard to separate. There are very few professors who (in my experience) are professors simply because they want to teach students. The vast majority of them see teaching as simply a requirement to do research. One of the k

Agreed. Comparing the $160 early 1900s Yale tuition that that of today's Yale is a little ridiculous. Yale and the like were the only real universities in the country. It would be better to compare to a public University (assuming we're sti

I had a student in one of my classes explain this to me at one point. Every semester when it came time to pay his tuition bill, he would simply max out all of his credit cards paying the bill. The university system would let you pay as much

If you know what you're doing, I wouldn't be surprised if you can force a dump of the data for it from Windows, without any other tools. At the very least, if you can create a BSOD (or, I suppose if the computer has had one before), the def

Looking at that privacy policy, and it looks like exactly what they should be doing. There isn't much of a point in keeping personally identifiable information beyond a certain point, at least not something which directly leads back to you.

Its an interesting, but ultimately pointless site. I would assume they take various statistics like "1 child is born every 6 seconds" or what have you, and then start counting from there, with some sort of timer running to update all the co

The problem is it isn't just a grey area. Its a grey area that large corporations are using to push around the "little guys" with. As for helping, its one guy doing the most he can. Its certainly more than I would be willing to do.

I'm confused. Unless the article is wrong, "It's also illegal to break the DRM that restricts copying of DVDs" seems to state that he did break a law. It makes quite a bit of sense to do a stunt like this, although I certainly would not be

But the goalposts haven't moved at all. There's simply a vendor on the sidelines selling rocket boots for 25 cents. Its not like these games start you off on a path, tell you "oh, once you've played for X long you'll be able to get Y," and

I believe that is strongly tied to why they have become so popular so fast. You can go into the game, pick it up, and become fairly good quickly. If you continue on with it, you slowly get better as time goes on. You then get a friend to jo

How on earth is that blackmail? From the couple of games like this I've played, it is still entirely possible to hit the limits of the game without spending a dime. It will cost you quite a bit more time and effort, but still possible. Its

If someone is complaining about your service, it may be a good idea to listen to them. All of the "Blah, blah, if you want it you should be able to create your own super successful site" posts are really rather pointless. Yes, site/company
