It's official in the sense that lulzsecurity.com endorses it (and @LulzSec endorses lulzsecurty.com), so either both @LulzSec and lulzsecurity.com are 'fake' or they're both actually controlled by LulzSec. I think it's pretty safe to say th

False. Only those involved in LulzSec can post to the Twitter page. Edit: Though, looking at the screenshots of the tweets on the TechCrunch page, they don't actually explicitly say it was them. Edit 2: They did claim responsibility for it

I don't see how the golden ratio fits in. How is it any better than, for example, 1.3 or 1.9?

I just brought that up because I found that to be a drawback of ImpactJS[1] when I tried out some of the demos—they didn't run well on Android. By allowing the user to compile into both JavaScript and JVM versions, you could avoid that issu

Sex is physical. There are more than two sexes. Some examples are female, hermaphrodite, and male (among others). Gender is social. There are more than two genders. Some examples are masculinity, femininity, and androgyny (among others). Ed

Since the games themselves are written in Java, could you potentially make another implementation of Flax that runs directly on JVMs (e.g., directly on Android without using the browser)? Or it it tied to closely to GWT to do that reasonabl

Why do people even do this kind of thing? The person who registered the trademark obviously knows the term 'bitcoin' was already in use. Does this person just want to make other peoples' lives more of a hassle?

I think you may have taken my comment out of context. The [deleted] post I replied to was asking why the extension was asking for so many permissions.

I'm a programmer who is studying physics in college, and a couple years back I had a similar experience with simulation code as you did. I didn't have any issues with the math—the program I was working on didn't have anything more conceptua

"1259359833574" isn't a magic constant. JavaScript uses // for comments. The number is just an example of the possible output of the expression "+new Date()" (specifically, it was the time at which the author of that page evaluated the expr

The author mentions his experience with capacitive buttons that are too sensitive. I have the opposite problem on my phone—the buttons aren't sensitive enough. I think that capacitive buttons are just too difficult to tune because the condi

FYI, the link to Cirkuit on your user profile is incorrect (it links to .com instead of .co). The project sounds neat though.

Game Maker is the software that introduced me to programming. Assuming it has kept its roots as a learning tool (it's been 5 major releases since I last used it), I can't recommend it enough.

Maybe they'll end up with something like Processing's[1] versioning scheme, where there are fairly regular numbered releases (e.g., release 0115) and some are granted a special status (e.g., release 0196 = version 1.5.1). I suppose it's rea

Some smaller microcontrollers don't have any RAM, so C doesn't work too well with them. For example: http://www.nongnu.org/avr-libc/user-manual/FAQ.html#faq_tiny...
