From an electrical engineering standpoint, that makes no sense. Thermal runaway starts when too much power is being drawn from the batteries and they begin to overheat until explod…

I was thinking more like a picture of a saint bernard taking a dump

Introduction: The worst invention since LISP is a serious contender for overdriving specious "features" of OO that noone needs or can even comprehend a use for, while remaining fir…

Pig say "what? I aint no chicken!"

Not only is linked in creepy...it sucks. Hopefully Yahoo will buy them and shut them down and then we can ignore it forever like everything else Yahoo does.

Ecosystem wars are stupid. Facebook home is the latest attempt to coopt Android into a brand by basically i dunno...disabling it? But if FB can prove they get x% more engagement th…

All Waze does is encourage people to break the law by handling their phone while driving.

This means nothing, apps and games will require a login through xbox live to work in any functional way. Sorry, your xbox aint gonna work offline except to play movies on a dvd.

Its true, you can buy fanboys.

Your not syncing anything your just overwriting it and making it available elsewhere, while versioning is supported in some free cloud environments, noone uses it, because they are…

Secure boot sounds like a bunch of bullshit. Look if your OS lets a program infect the bootloader, it was your fault. If your buying systems that have been hijacked by your oppress…

Im not a lisper and I likely never will be, but I am encouraged to see the potential for Clojure to move away from the JVM. Its this simple really, I want a 100GB heap with no tuni…

I dont do this anymore. Its too easy, and its dumb. If you want to make a point in a meeting, dont be positive or negative at all. Instead, what I do if I feel its important enough…

So let me get this straight, after all the years of talk (years ago) about how Java needed red-threads, we now want green threads again. Jesus you people are frustrating

Users are not important. In fact they are meaningless. The commie speak that they are and they drive products is complete utter horseshit. So is the notion that we care about them.…

As a java dev for 14 years, I just would please ask, Can SOMEONE PLEASE KILL THE JVM? I dont care how many languages can generate bytecode to run on it. The JVM IS SHIT and SHOULD …

Can the redesign include "working" this time? Most broken thing I ever tried to use.

I dont see how the terms of service really affect scraping when a scraper doesnt ever have to agree to them. You dont have to login or accept any TOS to read CL only to write. So w…

These rumours that Apple is going to FlatUI on iOS under Jony Ive are completely preposterous. But if it does happen, Ill jump off iOS and OS X as fast as I possibly can.

To take your idea even further, I was asked not to "reimplement" something by a new employer, but was flat out asked for the code I wrote in a previous job in the job interview. Th…

a doubly linked list in any language takes 5 minutes to write

Every commenter on this thread is a f king loser. WINamp has been dead for years and will never come back.

I just left a contract (in the US) where english was rarely spoken in the office (mostly when dealing with managers). I found this to be odd, and slightly disturbing. It made me un…

My favorite recruiter line lately is "They interviewed (insert high number) so many candidates and they picked you!" - translation they couldnt find anyone because this is a really…

Why have we standardized on a tool which almost no one likes? Are we frickin sheep?
