   Let me tell you my WakeMate story. Its publication has been long overdue. It's a bit long, so please bear with me... I pre-ordered. All excited. I love "life hacks", and this is right up my alley. Even encouraged several friends to jump in

   I use SourceTree. It's not free, it's definitely not cheap, but it's badass. http://www.sourcetreeapp.com/ (I have no affiliation, just a happy customer)

   If you change the good to be "five guys stop screaming" or "ten guys ..." then then MU may be once again diminishing. A common example of this is given with eggs. You may only like omelets, which take three eggs apiece. So, a third egg is w

    We aren't talking about enslaved humans. We are talking about a company defending its inventions, its business. I don't see where Sony are being "dicks".

    There were both. The HN (and "MIT") response was particularly disturbing to me. You couldn't question the official reports of "everything is fine and under control" around here without getting completely slammed, belittled, berated, downvot

    Then why would it matter if it got hacked? Surely they aren't conducting any official government "business" on their personal Gmail account, right?

    You might be able to call it a speculative (digital) commodity bubble. And there's a possibility for this "commodity" to one day go "poof!" and disappear (gov't regulation, hackers, system failure, etc.) Only time will tell us those things.

    Government is so good at managing this sort of thing. We should really ask our government to do more stuff because of its stellar track record! <sigh>
