Is there any reason for this? Clicking on the Princess Bride links me to Ep6, Lost Ark, Avengers and BTTF. To me it implies that they're related or similar. But I can't see any relation or similarity across these 5 other than score.

Jamming can happen at all layers. The most basic of jamming is to drown out all other communications with high-power noise. But in the case of illegal/covert activities this isn't ideal as your transmitter will be pretty easy to find. So th

In NZ, at least in supermarkets, Coke usually sends their own employee to manage their shelf space for most of the day. The only time I ever touched the Coke shelf was late evening near closing. As i've never worked in a servo I couldn't co

Something about this doesn't sound right to me. Or is this just the Greeks being paranoid/BI employees being stupid? If you're working on a game based around military facilities and want to get reference material of these facilities, Why wo

To me, my $4000 Savile-Row suit is worth twice as much. It's not bespoke, it's made-to-measure. Sort of half way to bespoke. I don't need to wear suits, I never really have. I've always worked for relaxed companies, never been to a wedding

I worked for a company that made a product similar to this and I'm not convinced they work as a consumer product. Our customers would plug the device in and then use it for maybe two weeks and then forget about it. The reality is, for most

I read/heard/imagined(?) that the reason GPU vendors weren't willing to hand over their source was due to a proportion of their performance being software based. Which then a competitor could also implement.

I have a few issues with QR codes. 1. They are still cumbersome to use. If I could open up my camera app (which I can launch with a press of a button) and point it at the QR code then maybe. But currently I've got to unlock my phone, open g

I know right. If I had a few billion dollars I'd (like to think I'd) happily plonk my cash into space mining. Even if I was unlikely to see a return before I died.

Why is the first tangible reward a t-shirt and not the product? If I was going to fund something, I would want to know my money is going to the product and not merchandise. I don't think a YC pitch would go well if they said "And with the f

Not only are they full of false positives, they're full of false negatives. Some sites that appeared to be a personal dump of harmless images were blocked, while sites with various 'porn words' in their domains hosting as much porn as their

While I give credit for the Moz docs for being accurate. They're not exactly the easiest things to browse or find what you're looking for. For webdevs they've got a load of stuff that you just don't care about.

for what it's worth, I found the parallax effect on the background image rather annoying. Every time I scrolled every single visual reference point of where I was reading changed.

I've been to two 'Immersive Theater' 'experiences' which sound similar to the spy experience mentioned in the article. And I found them rather contrived. The actors stick to a script, and any attempt to interact or change the outcome of the

You could use EncFS. But this then this isn't multi-platform friendly.

A step in the right direction IMO. Now, I hope the other protocols I use such as Skype, Steam (And I guess Origin too) would follow suit. I would love to know when my friends are playing games, without having to be tied to either wine, virt

I might agree, it looks like a nice phone. Possibly better than the Android competition. But the underlying issue I have with the iPhone, is the lack of freedom I get with it. I don't want to (and more or less can't) be restricted to iTunes

I'm a 0 generation immigrant, and 0 generation re-migrant. But given the age I immigrated at, It's more akin to being a 0 generation dual-immigrant.

Newzbin isn't an NNTP provider. They just provide the .torrent equivalent of Usenet. So yeah, they will most likely still allow access to NNTP.

I'm guessing the action of the impeller sucking air through itself would be enough to keep a reasonable amount of dust from collecting in the gap. It'll probably fall apart in heavy dust environments, but most things do anyway. To quote the

Ruh Roh. The service I'm using to acquire accommodation seems to be dependent on AWS. Guess I'm going to be homeless tomorrow if it doesn't get fixed. :X Note to self. Don't ever build a service reliant on AWS.
