The real problem with patent trolls is that this entire spectacle is completely out of the public's eye. Outside of business/startup circles, the concept of a patent troll is completely foreign. It would be amazing if Vice or someone of the

Using IP multicast is a solution to a problem; and I'm pretty sure the parent comment meant that he could solve any problem given enough time, money, and resources. It's not like you _have_ to use IP multicast to solve certain classes of br

What really upsets me about this article is how he gave advice to that friend of his to suppress his hobbies/interests to get a girlfriend. What kind of bullshit advice is that? That left me pretty sour, and makes the article feel a lot mor

This is a question I've been wanting an answer to myself. I have a 64gb SSD that has -only- a blank windows install on it; no programs or anything, and it takes up 54gb of space.

How dare they associate with a cultural identity that they don't understand! Besides, it's only the nerds of yesterday who had to deal with the endless bullying and loneliness! Future generations should get a free pass to associate themselv

So you're invalidating other people's opinions because of their skin color and gender? You're never going to be taken seriously when you dismiss the opinions of others based on the not-necessarily-true claim that they hold that opinion beca

I'm on the edge of my seat waiting for them to send one of these extortion notices to the wrong guy who will get enraged enough to shoot up their office. I wonder if a chain of such shootings would set a precedent for change.
