Well for next time, maybe you could do this thing called "testing" or "QA" before you put a product out there for hundreds of people to use. EDIT: sorry I know it's negative, but w…

Good site, but don't you think it's a tad sleazy to use these people's videos without at least letting us click-through to their YouTube channel? I mean it's the absolute least you…

You're kind of missing my point. That's great for the person who is already a Nintendo fan and already plays every Mario game like clockwork. As a person who hasn't own a Nintendo …

> on the same PC I run Skyrim on. I don't really see how that game is still supposed to be a selling point. It seems embarrassing for Nintendo: "We finally have the game you've bee…

> The GC was the most powerful console of its generation, That's not true. The Xbox was far more powerful CPU/GPU-wise, and had far more storage (the 8 GB HD was pretty amazing) so…

> You say that like this is a bad thing. Probably because I believe it is a bad thing. > Nintendo isn't just making the same games over and over again. Let's say I haven't owned a …

> I love Nintendo and am a huge fan. But part of me can't help but wish Nintendo would just straight up compete with Sony and Microsoft. Well I don't love Nintendo, I think their c…

Define "online services". Xbox Live still lets you do quite a few things for free. (Although I gladly admit the free capabilities suck compared to the Gold capabilities.)

I need more random people on the internet to tell me how stupid and illiterate I am, I guess. Thanks, that's really helpful.

Wow. Someone needs to tell the EPA about the inverted pyramid. You can't blame me for missing that when they bury the lede in the very last paragraph. That aside, the headline here…

Note: they mean exceeding in the bad direction, not the good direction. At first I thought this was some kind of spoof article, or Chrysler marketing effort. It should probably rea…

Perhaps eventually our technology will out-pace NK's artillery so that Seoul will be basically immune from attack. We're nowhere close to that at the moment. Iron Dome isn't even e…

Going solar is great, but we need some base-load power generation, and nuclear is brilliant for that. The options for base-load are: nuclear, gas, oil, coal, dammed rivers. Pick on…

Take the mutated animal photos with a huge gigantic grain of salt. The "citation needed" alarm rang out loud when I looked at those.

> that will result in large swaths of Japan being uninhabitable for lifetimes. Utter hogwash. This statement could not be more false.

Well of course it's not going to be popular here, where open source is considered holy and perfect, but he is 100% right. For the record, I'm a HN reader and I don't feel disrespec…

The first patent troll was around in 1879: http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2012/11/05/the-origina... Yeah, it wasn't a software patent, but. It's not hard to see something th…

Many, perhaps, but zero of those subject to (for one example) HIPAA data sharing rules.

It's been decades, so I'm probably remembering it wrong. Point is: building's big.

My best bit of the tour was the explanation that if the climate control system ever goes down, the building's large enough to develop its own weather systems, including potentially…

Sourcetree is a pretty crummy product regardless of how maintained it is. It reveals a culture that seems to hold basic usability testing & concepts almost in contempt.

The "culture" part might be good, but the end-result is Steam-- lousy software which has been lousy for decades at this point, and is unlikely to ever improve.

Of course you can DISPUTE the claim. And in fact actual scammers will release the claim right away because they make all their scam-dollars off old videos where people don't check …

Nobody who's been a victim of ContentID scammers (basically, 80% of YouTube Creators) would never say Google is "ethical".

You should get the YouTube developers in on this, because their ContentID system is about the LEAST ethical piece of software in common use. In my 2 dozen or so ContentID flaggings…
