I've found plenty of mobile messaging apps (LINE, Viber, WhatsApp) but they all require a phone number. Are there any that just have a username?

That, and the terms of service.

Yes. The Boy Who Cried Wolf has other issues, as well, though; I remember thinking (as a child) that it was as much the villagers' fault for not believing the kid as it was the kid…

Stopped reading after the fourth misspelling of "it's".

Calculus.

And they do. They aren't being silenced.

Do you even know what you're talking about? Miranda rights are for interrogations.

Clearly you haven't been to many comp sci 101 courses.

If you ever find yourself needing to choose a license for your software project, and you think of WTFPL, don't. Use the MIT License instead. The motive behind using WTFPL is obviou…

Quick! What's MCO? You guessed it — Orlando.

How is this at all annoyance with a younger generation? There's a lot of knowledge, such as of music, that's only passed on through oral or hands-on teaching. This knowledge lives …

Can someone explain how leaking a traceback is a security flaw, considering it's a lot less information than just releasing the source code (which we do all the time and don't cons…

I really wish people would stop calling this language JavaScript. It's not. Its proper name is UnityScript, and it's more like Jscript.NET than anything else.

I'm not sure a magazine about diabetes is something to be appalled about. Lots of people have type 1 diabetes, which is more or less congenital and whether you contract it or not i…
