I would unconsciously give feedback for the whole experience, because I'm not able to discern who benefits from my tip, and what I'm really tipping. So the waitress gets punished for the bad food and atmosphere and the taxi driver for a hor

That would be approx. $94 per active user. I know there have been social networks which went over the counter at that price before, but looking at them now I would not touch this stock with a ten foot pole. I certainly can't think of any wa

Inspired by you I wanted to reexpierence it. Brought me to http://wiki.xkcd.com which is upside down. Annoying! Nothing else.

If you need that you can always rate limit it with the exception that you can add to passwords e.g. if you queried "abc" perviously "abcd" does not count to the rate limit, but "bcd" does.

Which hash function did you use? You cannot use a cryptographic secure hash function to calculate a distance between data. If this were possible you could use a gradient descent like algorithm to find pre images. (I.e. the whole hash change

The Kinect has a very limited range, is not accurate and works only in certain lightning condition. That's why they added a laser scanner. Those are over $1000. Then in order to build the map via SLAM in real time you need a really powerful

Yes they should send a link to the government so they learn what's really the problem.

NTFS uses run lists (comparable to extends in ext4) so you would only have more metadata if your drive gets fragmented. (Which I hope for the sake of comparability is not the case here)

You are avoiding eavesdropping attacks but not man-in-the-middle attacks. That did not stop me from removing the 's' instead of clicking three times in Firefox.

They don't want to undermine the market of Windows development tools. More choice leads to happier developers. Of course they could give them away for free and recuberate the costs somewhere else but then goodbye Borland (already happend ;)

TIL that the vice president of the FED doesn't know about Moore's law. "Today you can buy an iPad 2 that costs the same as an iPad 1 that is twice as powerful," he said."You have to look at the prices of all things." "I can't eat an iPad,"

Yeah random acess on hard disks is awfully slow. And if you have dedup you can cause lots of random access... If you have a little bit of data the hashtable used for dedup can also be to big to fit into memory. Then ZFS puts it onto the dis

I tested it and I don't recommend it. (It was like a year ago though) It was really slow and some blog posts about the reliability of the data storage backend were a little bit scary. I would recommend using zfs-fuse. You don't have the FUS

This looks like it is actually based on a kind of design-patent (Geschmacksmuster) we have here in Germany. Apple patented the IPad look. Those are the charcoal images (they include them in b&w so that they're more general). Those paten

Given the current state of american politics would you want to rely on "reform" as crucial element of your business strategy?

And due to this plain language this reads like a like a declaration of war of Google vs. Microsoft & Apple. He is accusing them of illegal behaviour. He is accusing them of impeding innovation. And he says they will increase their own w

Does anyone know why it hits the US market later than Europe and Japan? Maybe the software patent issues?

Well as a real hacker you get that experience at the age of 12 when you join a "team" to make a P2P MMORPG. After that you kind of learn to recognize people+idea combinations which work and which don't work.

Give the government a break. After all it is designed to benefit all! And without taxes -> no government. If you want anarchy, go to some country where they have civil war at the moment.

But can you pay your rent in BTC or at the grocery store... As long as the essential things are not available via Bitcoins it is not an independent system and thus successible to goverment intervention. And even then. People tend to trust c

"[Bitcoin is] an entirely new kind of currency that can’t be seized or frozen by governments" Simply not true. At the end of the day you need to change Bitcoins back to real money. The money that actually has some value because it (is suppo

If you have a small team and everybody has much C++ experience you can pull this off. Otherwise one person who doens't have the discipline to do the manual memory management right can crash the whole server. Don't try it at home ;) use an V

hmm I guess you can do too much damage with directory hardlinks. Like link the root into your home directory. A recursive delete on the home directory would then delete all files...

Does anybody know how they implemented directory hardlinks in Mac OS (they use them for time maschine I think)?
