The article is quite superficial, so not much unless you were clueless to the beginnings of reddit. That said, a lot of things are actually out of your control. You can't make ever…

He wanted to remain together just for the children. It's pretty safe to conclude he would not have done so if he had no children and that her presence is detrimental to him in some…

Blame both laptops and consoles. The reasoning is the same: both have less powerful hardware and developers want to maximize the availability of their game.

Play with a time increment per move. I play casually at work with 2 minutes on the clock and 5 seconds per move.

Perfect, another nail in flash's coffin.

One of the main purposes of SSL is to prevent someone who may control the route from server to client from eavesdropping or injecting their own data, so the article assumes this si…

Funny, I blanked out when I read CTRL+F. Guess it's just muscle memory now.

His version is a bit more realistic analogy of what people do.

"is broken" equates to "allows or encourages something that wasn't originally intended". That's an apt description of the patent system and the current situation.

There's value given to a cause if someone important endorses it. Sure, a wealthy individual can write a check and cover the entire amount with ease, but why should he/she? You won'…

This is my preferred unix-in-windows setup as well. Free VMWare player and your favorite distro of linux and you're good to go.

Awesome! Bookmarked for future usage.

Off the top of my head benefits: -No mental context switch when working on both ends -Easier serialization (though JSON is pretty portable...) -Sharing code They aren't exclusive t…

The referenced post brings up a good point, but for many purposes (including your event) it's irrelevant. If your guests are likely to be on facebook, then facebook is a perfectly …

If he's cautious enough to do two-factor auth, he probably doesn't leave his accounts logged in. Plus you have a whole lot of other problems if someone owns your personal machine.

Low-hanging fruit simply means "reward" for little effort. The low-hanging fruit may very well be the biggest, sweetest of the bunch.

I'd say it's because you consider the 'GREATNESS' of a discovery is correlated how well it answers a simple question that almost anyone can come up with. Evolution is a great answe…

Of the choices, I'd go with 2X24" since having a second screen for non-essentials, searching the web for info, comparisons is nice. I wouldn't worry about 27" being too big. I'd ev…

It depends on the screen. A cheap glossy screen might scratch easy, but something like a macbook screen probably has a pretty good anti-scratch layer. Glossy screens tend to get di…

I play FPSs very often, and a glossy screen really has no merits unless you are playing in the dark with no other light sources to reflect. I'd much prefer a matte display with goo…

Yep. There are way too many other factors. Many people who pirate may never have considered paying for the material in the first place, and pricing would probably be quite differen…

You're missing the point. The author has nothing against saving money or being frugal. He is just pointing out that for a variety of reasons, people who can afford better alternati…

This seems like the right choice. As nice as it is to force code to make explicit distinctions between the two methods, something as popular as jQuery shouldn't cause code breakage…

Wow, looks great. A few more years of speed ups, a bit more bandwidth, and better client side web storage and we'll be playing multiplayer FPSs in our browsers.
