If anything you should thank them for forcing on you the very measures that might have saved your business. But of course, conspiracy theories and big companies being unfair agains…

Then, maybe the correct course of action for the EFF would be to work on improving the warrant system, rather than working on keeping alleged drug-dealing, unlicensed gun owners, i…

Wow. Save (an alledged) drug trafficker from incriminating himself in plain view. They really did the public a huge favour here. As much as I support the rule of law, there's no wa…

> That's why I claim that online revocation checking is useless - because it doesn't stop attacks. Doesn't mean there are "no" cases where it works. It just means any attacker dedi…

Been there 20 years ago. Almost dropped out of CS on my last year, average dropped from 3.8 to 1.5 at the time. Your mentor has my vote. Drop out, rebuild yourself first and foremo…

Well... nobody can say the title is misleading.

I'd bet on 3) Levine isn't interested in just "more of the same", and his mission (Irrational's) is to create. I'm sure someone else can license the names and characters if what th…

> What if the movie came with the full set of trailers (preview, theatrical, etc.) [...] could even throw in an entirely different ending for the movie [...] Awesome idea! Throw th…

...which is precisely what is meant when one says "there's no market for this". At this point, content owners have the choice of either being permissive, or clamping down on the co…

Beyond that simple statement, I'd agree with Jason. My first impression upon reading their webpage was "why?" Scrolling through I didn't find an answer. No differentiator in apps, …

> interception of a “large number” of calls placed from Washington when a programming error confused U.S. area code 202 for 20, the international dialing code for Egypt, according …

Because life is hard. You might think yourself part of an advanced civilization, but the moment you step out of society, you live in a jungle. "No man is an island entire of itself…

Sad post IMO, which will unfortunately and unduly tarnish Microsoft's reputation. I would suppose it was written by a developer who has just become senior enough to see some of wha…

In principle you'd be right, although Google/Youtube have never(?) made any promise about data retention. I've started to notice a number of older inactive links (say 5-10 years) h…

I could say the same about being enamoured with Google's "Don't be evil" motto to the point as to disregard general management... and accusing me of being childish for recording pr…

GMail, 2004: "keep giving people more space forever", in stark contrast to Hotmail and all other providers who delete your data after a few months of inactivity. GMail, 2013: "You …

I wish people would stop making such jumps in logic to justify an untenable position. Facilitating the download of illegal content has nothing to do with "speech" or personal opini…

Stupid move, so much that words fail me. "Korea" (as they call themselves, they don't acknowledge the autonomy of the South) has been looking for months for investors to replenish …

No need to be sarcastic. I find it interesting that somebody goes through the trouble of creating a new user account, just to confirm a theory that nobody could confirm without get…

Interesting argument. Seeing as Mason created from scratch a company valued at around $20B using Lefkofsky's seed investment of $1M, it seems to me like a very respectable accompli…

Dear Andrew, One bad year and a couple missed objectives, and your boss fires you? Looks like you were dealing with somebody who doesn't invest in training his employees... you'll …

That whole debate is becoming utterly ridiculous. Either it works as Tesla Motors says, or it doesn't. If it's so hard to get cold temperatures in the States, just send one unit up…

Besides the reasons discussed elsewhere, I see many reasons: - The device in itself disrupts the mining hardware market. Should they mine by themselves, others would take notice an…

I don't see how the FAA could do differently, given the budget cuts and the rule that prevents them from spending more than 40 hours on a project. Until they can justify splitting …
