Oh I see, my account's comments dont show up for anyone else. Nice!

I was surprised at how good the... cadence? emphasis? was in kwiki's synthesised speech. Compared to the traditional badly emphasized speech you'd hear in, e.g., one of those compu…

For me, 3D in Tron was either very subtle, or when noticeable was a little jarring. Not sure it was worth the hassle of wearing glasses over the tops of my glasses, to be honest. B…

Twitter takes 4 seconds to page up/down on my EeePC/Chrome/Ubuntu. Painful.

"Today, as dismayed as I was, I got an answer to my question: What happens when the media ignores a revolution? " Ironic that Tunisia has a revolution, and Josh Shahryar can't help…

Trying to prevent Iran getting the bomb will indeed 'piss them off'. However, as they are already an extremely 'pissed off' theocracy, it is still a sensible thing to do. Looking a…

I hate 'legacy' C++, but have become a fan of 'boost' C++.

Surely any engraving might detract from the Apple logo, thus reducing the phenominality, fabulosity, etc By the way, I crave downvotes from humourless Apple devotees.

Mobile platforms are an extremely active battleground right now, though. The mind boggles that we're in a situation where arguments like this are put forward. No offence to you spe…

Well, think about it this way: would you want your children reading a publication about Android? Because hey - if you're cool with that, go ahead and get them an Android phone.

PayPal? Are you kidding me? Using PayPal is like pulling teeth.

For me, tangling cursors with strangers seemed somehow icky. Mind you, I also avoided chat roulette...

I'm getting no animations in 7.0.517.44.

I'm hoping someone will implement tiresomelyRightOn.js.

Interesting but unconvincing theory. I have never seen public API documentation that lists private fields before. This certainly makes no mention of private fields: http://www.docj…

Some aspects of it look copied to me - the class's 10 fields are in identical order. Some parameters to the function look lifted straight from code generated by disassembling bytec…

a 3D printer is a machine that can turn a blueprint into a physical object. Feed it a design for a wrench, and it produces a physical, working wrench. That breaks when you try and …

My point was that "The consistency is impressive" is questionable, given that the list is polluted with random rants that don't even describe an occurrence. It's a poorly curated l…

Here's one from that page: "And you still have to take off your shoes... correct? Eight years to built the A-bomb. Nine years to put a man on the moon. Yet... after 9 years, we are…

Sorry, no. You've really missed the point I'm afraid. A little bit of knowledge, as they say...
