i feel like it's up to the state to protect their secrets. I mean really, they made this info available to 2 million people, and easily accessible from machines that I'm guessing had enabled usb ports, cd writers and email. 100% this info w

The only reason I purchased a PS3 was for this game. It was the same story with the PS2...I only got that for the GT4. I'm not really a fan of console gaming, but GT series has that perfect mix of simulation and arcade not found in any othe

personally I found it really crappy user experience. I'm on FIOS, and it loaded extremely slow. So for 20 seconds I was staring at just the top image and the person's icon...and wondering how crappy they are to have so much black space.

most people on this site are younger...when you are 22-25, you can afford to invest 2-3 years into chasing a dream. Pretty much everyone does it, you have the people in the band waiting to get big, you have people with liberal arts majors t

government censorship of dissenters...China would be proud. this is actually pretty stupid on their part, it's the equivalent of locking the barn after the animals escaped.

yes in U.S. you follow U.S. law...but that's not the case here. And yes, the U.S. can kidnap him and bring him into U.S. so they can charge him with U.S. law...but they can't charge him in another country under U.S. law and expect him to ge

I doubt he'll be charged with espionage, if the Russian spies that were caught this summer weren't charged, it'd be very telling if they charge him with that

U.S. law does not apply to foreign citizens. It's the equivalent of you getting arrested for some vague Chinese law.

What crime has he committed under American law? And remember, he is an Australian citizen so the whole treason thing doesn't apply.

your problem was picking the wrong title for the position...noone knows what you mean by a user acquisition hacker. Should have called it VP of Business Development or VP of Marketing. It really sounds like a position for a business guy, no

it's a little easier to grow when you have an existing company to piggy back on, since you get a large customer base right away. That's pretty much the #1 reason they became #1 in the space...otherwise they would have been matched by compet

it saddens me that a congressman can say something like that and not be driven out of town for abusing the 1st amendment. How can you make laws, when you don't know that the first amendment guarantees the freedom of the press. it's like rel

I think an effective system would be using html5/flash that grabs an image and requires a user to do some movement with their mouse. i.e. select a house with a broken window, followed by a house with red windows and followed by a house with

the problem with outsourcing your code, is that you are one of the dozen other projects the person is working on. I went through 3 companies(2 companies, 1 freelancer), each promising to be done in 30 days, and each only getting about 10-20

agreed if you charge $50 a month, you only need 200 subscribers to hit $10,000/mo, $120,000/yr. And since it's recurring, once you hit that number, you'll continue growing with time. So sure, it might take you a year to hit 200 paying custo

Wikileaks was willing to have the government trim the truly dangerous parts. The government decided against that, because they "didn't want to give Wikileaks legitimacy". Wikileaks is a news service, not a terrorist organization...you can n

From what I understand, Wikileaks is willing to work with the government in order to hide the things that are truly dangerous...and not just secret because someone did something illegal/unethical

I feel like they are allowed to keep their secrets provided they don't make something secret just because it might make them look bad or because it's illegal. Remember, everything they do...they do in our name.

it's policy, it's the same as someone wearing their Army uniform to a KKK rally. Agencies like that can't be seen endorsing extremists.
