Rather. Hackers political values, as stated in the jargon file, have politics: "Formerly vaguely liberal-moderate, more recently moderate-to-neoconservative (hackers too were affected by the collapse of socialism). There is a strong li

Now that's a hyperbolic title. I guess, "Google does not include enough women, minorities in doodles, but is showing improvement recently" wouldn't get headlines. This is an activist group using a popular target to gain

Adam Curtis is a prime example of what he is complaining about. Sure, he gives you things to think about, but he is fast and loose with said facts, and uses quick cuts, stock footage, and emotional music to try and sway opinion.

It is a damn shame the Texas Coast isn't more developed in that area. The only city I could see being close to Austin is Houston, and attractiveness isn't one of its strong suits.

I've seen stuff like this on both sides. It's what happens when one's desire for change and despair at trying to get the vulgar masses to the self evident "right" thing drives them to misanthropy. It's a misant

I've been looking at the Asus Transformer t100 for just this reason. If it only had 4 gigs of RAM instead of 2, I'd have jumped on it.

Introspection is a start, but I've seen years of conscious raising without the necessary systemic action to change things.

Meh, this is just another diatribe that makes all sexism and racism as sin: a pernicious character flaw that can never be blotted out, but must be constantly atoned for. Ditch the hairshirts, they don't suit you. This is particularly s

We even have developers moving from IOS to the 3ds because of the better margins. http://gamerthumb.com/2013/08/01/mobile-dev-abandons-overcro... Why would Nintendo go to being lost in the crowd like that. I

The password would be a number of bytes. They could easily use stenography and hide it in an upload or download of the file. Or have an update that would weakly encrypt the data, or encrypt and decrypt to a key known to them, making it triv

It goes directly against half of waht dropbox is trying to offer. Easy peasy web access/sharing across devices. Recovery of files. Quick syncing across devices Also, it's not going to impress the cryto die hard unless they open so

The issue is that they have to have more data than rough demographics. They could take the likes a person has, break them down in rough categories and do something like males 18-35 who like heavy metal and extreme sports. Then they'd get ad

This also might be in the time where computers would normally take up an entire room, and cost insane amounts of money. No one really saw the miniaturization of the transistor as having the effect it did on computers. It's why a bunch of no

Minor quibble with the article. Handbrake is not illegal. It does not break encryption, it merely transcodes. It, by design, does not come with a copy of libdvdcss, and you have to download it through other means. It will also, on a mac, go

Because of external costs, like healthcare, and training, one employee working 40 hours has a lot more utility than 2 working 20. This is especially true with the large differences nn productivity from person to person, especially in softwa

He makes mention of that in his book. He uses the example of online poker players, which he used to be. He doesn't consider himself great at that either, just better than the hordes of rank idiots that played during the online poker bubble

1) Isn't this grindr for straight people? 2) Coming from my first point, a much better article about the potential pitfalls of socializing parts of our inner lives (with real live examples) can be seen here: http://narrative.ly/2012/10/los

For close to that, you could easily get an ICS device from dealextreme. For a $100 with no shipping cost you can get something with an A9. http://dx.com/p/google-android-4-0-hdmi-tv-box-w-4gb-wifi-rj...

This article is naive. First, most of the games they discuss that cost 40-60 bucks, the CoDs of the world, require enough capital outlay to deter any small band of developers. You need money for art assets, voice acting, advertising, sound

I believe the sicp.mobi file is the one you are looking for. Download it, and copy it to the documents folder on your kindle, when you've attached it to a computer.

That's not really their marketshare/growth area. The real money is the enterprise stuff, and no one is as slick in there. Having hot swappable VMs running on blades connected to a SAN with real time load balancing is as slick as hell, as we

Yes, but worse is better. http://www.jwz.org/doc/worse-is-better.html The duct tape solution may only do 75% of the functionality, but it's there, and it's simplicity allows for hacks to be built on top of it.

Ugh. The person conflates not gaining money with losing money, the same rhetorical trick that the record companies make when talking about piracy.
