    >Honestly I don't get how you can perceive that he's happier, but still see him as having changed "for the worse". Well, from his perspective it's a worse change in personality, bu…

    Downvoting for no reason. Not worth trying to converse with who ever is responsible.

    I happen to live in the (Northern) Midwest and I think you're just not in the right area. My city is ethnically and culturally diverse and I never encounter open racism. There are …

    Actually, I believe there is precedent for laws being struck down for pretty much exactly this reason. I think prohibition and the newly changing attitude against marijuana and the…

    Your site needs more detail about how your system functions and compares to existing captcha systems. All I could find on your site is that basically existing systems don't work an…

    Exactly. Google has people with backpack cameras that get 'street view' images for walking paths and things like that.

    I don't really find AT&T's idea fascinating in any way. I think it's just them trying to get around the rules. I have no doubt that if something like that were set in place, they w…

    I'm really not sure why some of the other comments here are focusing on the playing of music on the stream. Obviously they've never watched someone gaming on twitch. Nobody watches…

    I'm sorry for your loss. My father passed away in December of 2012 (after a 9 year battle with cancer). In fact, I posted on here mere hours afterward in regards to a goodbye blog …

    I would think zero is not good, but of course it's subjective. I like my toast crispy, but soft enough that it's not like a crouton.

    Just seconding the KeePass notion. It works very well on other platforms as well. This is my preferred option for storing my passwords.

    I share your sentiment about facebook. They might know how to program, but their business is shady as hell. I had such high hopes for the Oculus and now I could care less. Maybe So…

    The author is talking about engineering not cs classes. That being said, I would completely agree with you, having been through a cs degree myself. Version control and working in a…

    That description makes it sounds like an early version of the magic 8-ball.

    I'd have to agree. It's not the bandwidth that was the issue though. All those videos loading and playing at once crushed my poor browser (Waterfox 24) until I was able to slowly p…

    I hate Windows 8 and refused to switch to it. I would actually consider it given his changes. MS - Hire this guy.

    Perhaps I'm wrong, but it seems as if they don't really mean they don't want girls to watch, so much as they don't want to target girls. I'm guessing that they think there's no way…

    If it helps - I happen to know two ex-Marines who believe most of the armed forces would never take up arms against American civilians.

    Perhaps I am misinterpreting your statement, but it almost sounds like you blame PHP for the lack of documentation of those libraries. Really you should be blaming the authors of t…

    This was a very lovely note to read. My father died about two hours ago. I miss him immensely.

    I've had Bump for a few months, but don't use it much. Primarily because it's a pain to get it to actually connect to anything. I could never get it to bump with my desktop (it's e…

    I've been waiting ages for Mozilla to get their act together and make a 64 bit browser. I had never heard of this before. I just downloaded it and I'm trying it right now. So far i…

    I agree. I believe the most typing classes are focused on the word processing end of things rather than programming. While waiting to correct errors afterwards can be faster for re…
