About hennypenny

Henny Penny... my username is appropriate, but only in the ironic, sarcastic sense. The sky is certainly not falling, at least not in my neck of the woods. Your FUD, generalities and conjecture meet my harsh bitter reality, the one where the sky is firmly secured but it is black about half the time.

I'm a hacker, founder, and realist who isn't seeking the approval of the entrenched masses of the populist echo chamber.

    By subtracting the day he was born you're not counting it. You're making it 'day 0'. 2 days - 0 days = 2 days.

    Your formula doesn't work. There have been 7 leap days including 1984. The date of the leap day is relevant to your formula because if he were born on Jan 1 there would be a differ…

    I think what he actually wanted was http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=May+14+1984+plus+9999+d... Which would be 10000 days inclusive of May 14. (Wolfram says in this case that i…

    Not a big Frozen Synapse fan here but I like donating to the EFF through these things. Since they have Amazon payments it is dead simple and it helps me expand my Steam library. In…

    Either the movie industry is poisoning the well, or this is a well waiting to be exploited. A site that explains step by step how not to get caught might be more useful.

    MAC addresses are easily changed. You don't have to be in a store, or even near it, to use its wifi. And you don't have to bring your cell. Or you could use a throwaway prepaid. Lo…

    I meant that in the most general sense possible, like in the sense that if you know how to type, you can write. No offense meant.

    If you know how to use photoshop, you can design. You can make a website that works and that you can test with. But if a designer knows nothing about code, knowing where to start a…

    I'm not touching that thing. I hope there is a supplemental app that you can download to your phone instead. Yes, I realize menus would have germs on them too, but this seems like …
