Essentially every program is a big number written in binary. DRM blocks number sharing while some OS numbers require activation before running. The world is doomed.

The reason I would want to sign up a photo sharing service is to be able to display them online and also have them backed up at the same time. I am notorious at the backing up part. Guarantee me these 2 things and I'll be your paying custom

It doesn't launch for me either and the task manager doesn't show a process starting.

I keep hearing this a lot but if I was "embroiled" in all of this, I would sue the state for entrapment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entrapment Excerpt: Two competing tests exist for determining whether entrapment has taken place, known

You'd think that something like the ISS would run *nix from the start. I'm surprised it took them so long to switch.

So Nitsana Darshan-Leitner of Shurat HaDin basically tells Stephen Hawking that he either supports Israel or turn off his computer-based communications system. In other words: If you support Israel then talk. If you boycott Israel then shut

Israeli aggressions against Palestinians and mostly civilians are overwhelming to the point that the list of boycotting people and entities is only increasing by time.

I'm not a web developer so I have to ask whether Ruby is that different from Python so that another tool chain gets added and maintained. Edit: your point about node.js makes sense though.

Made me smile and giggle :)

My bet is on node.js meaning JavaScript :)

Not really that is still as good/bad as .PSD is because of the nature of what the file is used for. They are both primarily containers for unfinished works and are designed to hold a lot of detail without so much regard for size and portabi

Ah! I haven't been following the latest news surrounding NaCl. Thanks for the clarification.

Sorry! Misunderstood your comment at first :$

This article is worse than pseudo science. It is just a bunch of inaccuracies. One thing that caught my attention is how he quotes a study out of context: "The sleep deprived person can in fact deliver the exact same results as someone who

Ironically the reason I've tried my best to avoid MS Office is because they are not easily accessible by anyone. I once sent my CV as an HTML file along with a PDF. Still to this day, I prefer to send HTML and PDF over sending a Word docume

I see it as a benefit to stop doing things when you use a service/app where it automatically does it for you. Kinda like Gmail filters move things out of my inbox while showing a label count that I can choose to address immediately or leave
