Ironically enough I have more issues with getting spam text messages on my cell phone than spam email messages. It's a shame that either the CAN-SPAM act isn't enforced or doesn't apply to text messages. I'm on the national do not call list

God what a disappointing list. It's almost as awful as pretty much every other set of future predictions that popmech makes. http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/engineering/futur... I almost want to write my own list of predictions

This is probably the biggest barrier preventing me from starting a business. I know that if I ended up getting hit with NPE patent infringement claims, I'd probably just buy a gun and go shoot up their office.

So now how do I distribute dlls that are supposed to be used by my project? I'll shoot myself before adding binaries to source control.

Well hey, I guess I hit it on the head with them being at least within an order of magnitude, eh? You forgot to take into consideration the thermal conductivity of solder. Although there's only 1/8th the current going through the solder tha

The heat dissipated of the two metals would be identical if their resistances were the same, of course. I'm not even considering the difference in amperage between a 110V and 220V connection, as I'm pretty sure that's not what the parent pa

depending on the resistivity of the copper wire versus the lead-tin mix in the solder, there may end up being more current going through the solder than the actual wire. Even if the resistivity values of the copper and solder are similar (I

The entire concept of the downvote is flawed and is very likely to be the absolute worst part about reddit. In theory it may be a good idea, but in practice it's essentially a "CENSOR THIS POST" button that people use to get rid of content

Of all the useless, worthless, pants-on-head retarded degrees out there, why have they chosen to rant on business degree? At the very least, a business degree would be theoretically applicable for doing work in the real world. Why isn't thi

I think a huge part of it is that unity is burning trash and the people behind it either don't have any idea what they're doing, or are suffering from the sunk cost fallacy. Unfortunately after the amazon adware fiasco, I'm starting to lean

selling antivirus software is a lot less about fixing viruses than it is about convincing the average computer user that they are at risk without XXX antivirus suite.

It's going to be interesting seeing how this plays out. Much of Minecraft's success can be attributed to serendipity, so it'll be interesting to see how this new game measures up, especially considering the scope of the project.

Yeah, I feel like this would be a huge issue. I can't that kind of office wringing any kind of productivity out of his employees with how it's set up. Not that providing some entertainment for employees isn't a good thing, however this seem

Looks like I omitted a word in my original post, I meant to say that the fallout from maps wasn't that bad. People can still replace their maps app with google or bing or whoever's map application. The problems with the iOS maps aren't a sh

I don't think that Apple should have pulled the apology card for this. Apologizing on this scale will surely help customer frustration, but it's not necessarily something you can do very often. While apologizing may have a positive effect,
