> Weak analysis. The first point doesn't make sense. Not at all. You just didn't get it at first glance. The email list itself isn't public, but by its very nature, use of Groupon is. Anyone who wants to market to those customers can ju

Watch it. If they find out you do that they'll disable the games and perhaps your whole account. Region coding should be illegal. Or rather, enforcing it.

It is (just bureaucratic nonsense) if they aren't willing to sell a foreign version of the game to those who want it. Steam uses region codes, much like DVDs, to deny you the language of your choice - because they screw with prices by area

They were lying. There are no limits like that because that wouldn't make sense. I really wish we threw managers like that in jail though. They know they're enough of a roadblock that their denial to help will squash most legitimate complai

The section you quoted only supports the claim that patents are for society - all benefits to the creators are merely to promote the progress of science, etc... They merely gave congress the power to do this, like declaring war, but they di

If you apply the same conspiracy law that would be applied to you and I to Castro I'm pretty sure he's legally responsible - by our standards - for tens of thousands of deaths. Tanks roll and bombs fall on his command and if those weren't a

They do. They released Collateral Murder, for instance, in an edited for TV spot and they released the full-length clip so that anyone who cared could check their accuracy. I did. I'm satisfied. It might not be perfect but it's far better t

It wouldn't be Wikileaks causing the riot, it'd be the people - disgusted with what they find out is being done in their names. Wikileaks is doing what the press should have done years ago. What we need to know enough to look for in the fut

We should ask Wozniak how much of the Apple2 he copied from other devices (or built based on what he learned from other devices). And thus how much of Apple's current value is based on copying ideas from other companies. (Xerox!) If Jobs wa

Not my criticism. For one, their list is public. Nobody else needs to generate leads - and these are already qualified as being willing to buy a similar service. Simply scrape the list of companies offering coupons. Second, they can't enfor

Yeah. Wonderful. Nothing says loving like a teaser of info and a "Buy The Rest" button. And I'm sure whoever wrote the article has spent time reading free documentation, using free languages, free community specs, etc.

I dunno. The whole one-click patent thing. Abuse of government privilege to derive a monopoly. Sure, he/they are just one of many, but if you don't hate the players the game continues. There are many people in many positions who have a free

My team was writing a Linux-based PABX and a round of changes had caused lockups - but a weird kind. The machine was there, but just not responding. It wasn't dead, just maybe 100K times too slow. But when I hit alt-sysrq to shut the machin

No, you're incredibly wrong.. The question hasn't been tabled - people who were having it were told they'd be murdered to the last if they didn't give in. That's slightly different than "Nah, let's drop this pesky independence thing." As fa

He was talking about a specific edge case where the window-owner wasn't going to spend the money - ever. In this case the community would have the money and the hoarder would live identically to before - minus the nest egg. As you say, if t

No. With a large bias you'd have hundreds of one result for one of the other.

Mainly it means lower-than-OS, such as firmware, hypervisor layers, hardware backdoors/leaks, etc. Things that are guaranteed to be invisible to the guest layers. The other pre-OS-malware meaning is HDs and flash devices shipped with viruse

Thanks for telling the truth. I'm at around $18k/y and it's good to have motivation to do better. Rent is $6k right there. Ouch. And this is a small town. Food only gets cheaper the more we do our own, and after becoming vegan. I spent $20

It's brutal when you think that if you made one giant repo they'd do it for almost nothing, but because you picked this other layout it could cost you $20-$50/month. I want prices to be based on resource usage for the most part. If I've got

Yeah, that's what I'd have thought. But I don't see the need to do the processing on the web servers.

The mile-high toolbar thing is right - a target at the side/corner of the mouse catchment area is easier to hit than a target you have to navigate to stop inside. But this is only right because no usability metric is attached at this point.

This is what it'll look like though. Till now we've debated about putting computers in classrooms. Now it's going to be ridiculous to consider stripping him of his many computers, especially when taking him to the learning place.

What a waste. We've got multiple unjust wars, we're bailing out wall-street yet again, and this is what our courts find time to do - waste the time and effort of a productive company like Samsung over "design patents". We're innovation host

Sure, that I'd believe. What OS are you in? How long do you keep it running like this? Sounds good.

You said "sign or sanity check it", as if you can do whichever you want. But in the area suggested they have vast differences and security implications. How many corrupted web pages do you see because of CRC failure in TCP?
