I have used pretty much all MS operating systems as well, except windows 10, and I remember how windows XP felt "too colourful and distracting" when it first came out (with those v…

This isn't theory, it is a concrete example of content creators who make content and make a living with absolutely zero advertisement. If you need yet another example, LWN ( http:/…

I actually bought one two weeks ago after my 6 years old smartphone died. I still haven't picked it up (shipped it to the US, getting there next week only), but it arrived at my fr…

It crashed my Firefox a few times, randomly, apparently. I managed to play a few rounds, but for no apparent reason it just crashed without any error being displayed. On FF 33 on L…

I didn't have the guts to deal with all the possible legal problems that an exit relay could spawn, and no lawyers I could find could help me with that question. I suggest you run …

Thank you for talking to Peter and sharing this. For those interested in more, Blake (the co-author from the book) took Peter Thiel's CS183 class in Stanford, and has class notes f…

My mistake to point out, it is the best selling PC game of all time.

I agree with you that startups in Brazil should focus on the internal market first. But Rudi also has a point that for many of the startups here, very few look past Brazil's border…

The thing is that what makes Minecraft strong is its community, unlike Halo. You won't see Minecraft succeeding at being Windows exclusive, or by making Minecraft 2, 3 or 4. There …

I have been trying to understand why Microsoft would buy Minecraft. Even though Minecraft is really important, and wildly successful, but the price tag for a game studio with one s…

If Microsoft is trying to build its own Steam competitor (which given Valve's current strategy to make Linux an alternative gaming platform to Windows, makes sense), then Minecraft…

K-9 mail on Android uses IMAP and it creates new folders, as well as archive my email to my "Archive" folder without a problem. There should be absolutely no reason a mail applicat…

Having been using DDG as my primary search engine for pretty much 6 years now, I really disliked the new redesign. As mentioned in another comment, the contrast is really bad, I fi…

Some background facts, there is only 3 of those ships in-game so far (iirc). That one belonged to the best mercenary alliance in-game, Pandemic Legion (PL for short), which are ver…

If keeping your identity anonymous is your goal, there is no better example than Satoshi Nakamoto, that managed to create Bitcoin, run and manage the project for almost couple year…

You have no control of the layer thickness through this process, and their supercapacitor design actually uses the graphite oxide that isn't turned into graphite as an insulator be…

The supercapacitor they created is planar, you don't need to layer multiple sheets, you just need to print it then deposit the gel-like electrolyte and put it together with some co…
