Mt. Gox is indeed full of shit. As I understand the issue, due to their bitcoin implementation, there is a possibility that someone would send bitcoins from their Mt. Gox. account to a wallet, than alter the signature of the transaction, an

I think what he means is more like iOS and OSX. Both run a very similar operating system but completely different UI. The best approach would be to have a common core with Windows and Metro interfaces, but separate them. Desktops and Laptop

Could you list a few customizability examples which you could not do on OSX but are possible on KDE or Windows? I am a life long Windows user, used KDE quite a lot, and OSX for the last year, and I love OSX. I wouldn't claim it's

Totally agree. Between XP and W7 they moved a ton of settings around for absolutely no reason what so ever. Now they have done it all over again. There is no reason why "Add Remove Programs" should have been renamed to "Progr

They could make an android phone, but people would not buy it, because people inexplicably hate Apple. These same people are also often Microsoft fans. I know several people who proudly claim that their family is Apple free, and always will

I love to bitch about NSA as much as the next guy, but you have to admit, it's one thing to spy, and its a totally different when you start to block content.

People with an audience say all kinds of idiotic things. Arguing that Microsoft should fork another OS is like saying that Ford should license the Toyota Prius design and concentrate on their core competency of putting Ford badges on cars.

The entire article is all about how it's not really an obvious solution at all. Amazon is forking Android, and they have rewritten many of the GMS APIs, and yet, many of the apps do not run on Kindle Fire like they do on Android.

That's not true at all. This is a federal system, and she probably plead guilty because her choices probably were plead guilty and get 3 months in jail or plead innocent, go to trial, and get 20 years. The federal system is beyond fuck

For $15 a year you can get a crappy little VPS with 20 gigs of disk and 200GB/month connection. Install transmission on it and use it as a seed box. On popular torrents you can get 4-7mbps transfer speeds. Have the files saved once do

Blu-rays are but a few years old. It's preposterous for any one to claim that they are "guaranteed" for 30 years, let alone 1,000 years. Not to mention that that guarantee most likely has an asterisk that limits damages to th

I tried really hard to understand the 2 patents in question in this case. I can see that both patents relate to a method of assigning value to search results based on how long a user spends looking at the result, or number of clicks, etc. B

The Linode CLI is to manage the VPS node, not to manage your server directly. With Linode CLI you can resize, shutdown, boot up, hard reset, and mirror your VPS. It's basically all the controls you would have from your VPS control pane

It's also because people in Germany have manners. In California, or the rest of US, people just throw garbage on the side of the road. It's so infuriating! I once saw a guy throw a cigaret pack on the ground literally, and I kid y
