If you ever played Quantic Dream's Heavy Rain you'll see where this story came from. (Also if you read the article you'll see its also inspired by Ray Kurzweil's The Singularity.) Heavy Rain was a dark and gritty detective story with situat

I'd like it if you could still support openID. It's still very useful despite it's flaws.

Access to education is the problem Kahn Academy solves for me. I changed schools a lot as a kid and was kept back to repeat classes I had no problems with because the new school would teach classes at a different rate or in a different orde

He wasn't super polite and didn't try to educate him, but I wouldn't call him a dick. There probably isn't any other way to communicate this message except via support.

I live in Chrome and Firefox all day for web development. Firefox is playing catch up but they didn't kill their browser. Maybe just starved it for a while. And while I agree I'd rather google then microsoft have browser dominance, they're

Those ads are usually not allowed on the networks they run on. They're often posed by affiliate's as the original companies have long since been blocked. Unfortunately finding the article on this is harder then finding a real teeth whitenin

I currently work at a NOC. We've built a pretty nice setup to do our jobs (mostly software) but I've got no idea what others do. As for hardware, I don't know how I could use more then 3 or 4 screens or how the team could use a big one. (Th

I'm an avid fan of hacking our own phones and being able to run what I want on them. But I'll be keeping 3rd party apps far away from my google wallet.

One of the coolest things on that list is the "RE<C Initiative" http://www.google.org/rec.html Some of it's videos have 8 (now 9 I guess) views. I'm confused as it's not a major project and hardly anything to cancel. This must be the

I wanted something like this a few years back for small scale billing. I decided to partner with a local print shop who was able to get me a good pricing on 2 color prints and envelops. I never was able to find a place with a good API that

Forget embedded systems, cisco routers seem not to handle time zones well. I ended up with a discussion about timezones with one of my network guys and he admitted it was much easier to set the system time on cisco devices to GMT then it wa

No, if TimeMachine screws up a file it stays screwed up for ever after every backup, there's no integrity checking. It also completly barfs on large files that change little by little. The best example of that is the entourage mail store, b

I find it even stranger that this petition is on whitehouse.gov. The real issue though is that this bill wont die, I'm sick of hearing of its lunacy and the fact that it's even in the house irks me to no end. That's why I signed it.

They rewrote a relatively small part of their code base, a small part of their in memory cache. For a team who a) wrote the code base and b) change it every day, this wasn't a big deal more then it was an interesting problem. From an operat

I'd much rather each community select a few people who they think are the best at knowing what time it is and then take an average of them.

I just downloaded an html version of facebook profile before deactivating the account. It's got almost all the content you could call yours in it and it's presented in an easy to use way. You don't get everything, but it wasn't nothing.

I have to second prepared statements. You wont have to change your code too much to use them and they are way too important not to use. They can even lead to speedups if you're going to reuse queries.

I've read though most of our comments here and I have a question. Are people concerned with the education of their neighbors kids? I'll be able to afford private schooling for my children. The average demographic here probably can. I relish
