But right now, it's a legal cat and mouse game for both sides. With DRM, it becomes illegal for the mouse to do anything but get eaten.

I'm not sure his evidence given supports his statement of "no correlation" between a state's Business Tax Climate index. He says the most business-unfriendly state is showing the s…

It's only right if you believe there's no cost to your spying being uncovered. If you don't think there's any cost to being caught spying, I welcome you to try spying on someone, a…

There's money in both places to be made. They're not exclusive.

I don't understand the utility of this boot to desktop feature. The moment you want to do anything, you're back in the start menu launching programs. What problem does it solve, be…

My first game was 1 point. I tried clicking on the falling bugs and saw some numbers lighting up, but I didn't quite realize I had to click on the numbers at the bottom to 'prep' r…

The problem is not the HFT firms buying stock cheaply and reselling it for a profit. As the article points out the problem is investors placing a buy order, and the HFT firms seein…

If computerized grocery checkout machines would stop halfway through the 10 cases of discount soda you bought to raise the price on the remaining 5 cases, then this analogy would b…

It's also a problem if you're an artist that makes something 'close enough' to Mickey Mouse, and you don't have the resources to both fight the legal battle, and support yourself w…

The article mentions that 'full control' becomes increasingly unlikely as you lose rotors, but partial control is still possible. You can influence how fast the quadrocoptor falls,…

That is essentially correct, though the math was completely hidden. The justification for higher contract rates was because they were using that difference to subsidize new phones …

I've said it before and I'll say it again: He chose Russia and China because priority #1 when you're running FROM someone, is to not get caught by them. Those were large nations he…

As was already pointed out, the AP Calculus test has been designed assuming that you have a calculator to handle the 'easy' number crunching portions for you. The test is designed …

I've lived in three metro areas, and only one had significant choices in provider, and that was a decade ago, 2004. I had the choice of three cable providers, and I was just on the…

Somewhat. Most people in the US only have a choice between the specific type of line they use (Cable, DSL, Satellite). There are typically only one provider for either Cable or DSL…

Start the countdown to Disaster Area.

You should be able to. See the regular launching of "Sherlock" shows, and the multiple on-air concurrently. Edit: Though Sherlock does have some limitations. Elements of the Sherlo…

> Just look around at people wearing headphones right now. Have attitudes really changed? As a technologist, do you see someone with headphones and think "progressive"? Of course n…

Anecdotally, I've found it's quite common with alot of European ESL speakers. I have worked with quite a few other people from varying countries, and it's somewhat common that they…

Don't be alarmed citizen. They only 'know' about your movements if they actually look at them. Until then, they don't 'know' anything as long as it sits in their archives untouched…

And there's only one narrow failure mode where a dishwasher can actually fill up with water: If the drain is blocked. Any other failure mode (broken water heating element, broken a…

This would appear to be the same environment as the demos from the article. Note the 'Node' graffiti on the wall, and the general shape of the room. I'd really like to see a before…

No limitation on the clause is a big concern. If you write a public review 3 years later about how a product from that company sucks, that could be held as a breach of this contrac…

I'm an electrical engineer who has pared my skill list down to 'troubleshooting.' For my equivalent of a fizzbuzz, the exercise is to present someone with a potential failure (the …
