True, true. Consider the 'September' phenomenon. Newbies need a place to congregate. Those services catered to new users (termed IIRC 'lusers' at the time). Once 'it all' has become more familiar, then specialization happens, and more creat

No doubt there are Russian spy-sat pix available with incredible resolution for sale somewhere online for $5 ... without the hour-long wait and the interrogation.

Considering that Plasma (on my install) uses 100MB of RAM to work its wonders (I have no idea what or how), that alone makes me suspect there might be a better way.

Congratulations for demonstrating once again that it's worth trying to do something about it. It's the only alternative to taking it in the neck over and over whilst crying in bitter beer.

But they are "gaggles of peers out together". Not stuck in front of a TV every day after school for hours ... like my generation watching early sitcoms/varieties/crime/kiddy shows that don't even move the nostalgia-meter decades later. I'

Wow, some of you guys are impressing me with how much you're struggling to suppress your raging homophobia in this thread. I realize the need for some techies to look down on people who won't assent to their brand of whatever for a chance t

I share your dislike of ICEs but you are being far too kind with that 30%. At best 20% is (high-end) typical. Which means that for every 5 gallons of fuel you feed it, it throws away 4. That is SUCH poor engineering that it's verging on ins

That's how the US has treated its hackers since ... the beginning. And that's why the Chinese are almost certainly eating our crypto-lunch. You'd almost think the authorities are compelled to help CN.

According to the medical examiner, in 1991 journalist Danny Casolaro killed himself too while investigating Inslaw. No one in his family believed it. So when someone with no authority asserts "he killed himself", there's no call to dignify

Why I Miss BASIC Might try a Kickstarter. Somebody wants to replace "Run Revolution" with an OS version and is asking 350K pounds. Ha! Seriously. There is a LOT of demand floating around. KISS. And ask less than 350K.

You might want to try an FF add-on called "User Agent Switcher". Visit panopticlick with that and you can somewhat tailor your fingerprint. Try IE8.

I wonder how many banks and stock-brokers are buying into handing their net operations over to a third party? Anyway, once the words "delusion" and "insanity" got dropped, I realized how desperate the clown-computing crowd is getting.

For the first time in history individual piano notes have been made visible using the CymaScope instrument. Except for all the times someone fed the output of a mic amplifier into a scope and watched a Lissajous figure. https://en.wikipe

This is one of the most anti-MIDI articles I've read since MIDI was first released. It's pretty much a rag-tag collection of all the cheap shots and whining that have become oh, so familiar in that time. MIDI has survived for 30 years in an

BBC's headline is completely misleading; the researchers state that a solar-flare is a much likelier cause. There needs to be a science journalism bar exam.

My 'favorite' part of the SC redesign is how I can't scroll downward ... only the top of the page is visible. I've run across no other page on the web like that. Digg it.

That was my first reaction: -if- this were true, it would 'help' the DoJ 'explain' why the prosecution was so vigorous. (Tying Swartz to something they've spent years bad-jacketing.) A similar move is the claim he FOIA'd tapes of Manning in
