Would you say that industries with heavy network effects tend towards monopolies, while those without tend to produce more competition?

Not really. Just label it as "Vintage Honey", write "Experience the taste of honey taken from Egyptian tombs" and add in very tiny letters at the bottom "From 2016 harvest". As lon…

Repeat after me: companies are not people. Everything is a cost-benefit analysis. Do we poison the river and give an entire town of couple of thousand people premature cancer or do…

It isn't really a disorder, it's just a kind of personality. It's pretty much par for the course of simply being human. A good shrink should be able to get him to function with peo…

I like how moon_of_moon's comment got flagged the second he posted it, real good work silencing discussion like that, guys. Relatedly, it's a bit sad what's happening to him. A few…

At this point it's fair to say that anyone waiting on F-35 would have been better served by just ordering more Warthogs.

FUCK the record companies. If I were in a room with Cary Sherman, Hitler and Stalin and had a gun with one bullet, I'd throw the gun away and kill Sherman with my bare hands so it …

Resisting copyright is not deplorable ethics, quite the opposite in fact - copyright itself is deplorable ethics and anything done to kill it is just and honourable.

And get fucked by credit card fees. AFAIK credit cards cost something like a few hundred dollars per year in just maintenance fees, so requiring one just to be a real person is a r…

I guess e-bay and amazon are good in aggregate, i.e. there are only a few scammers, so if you sell thousands of units you don't really care, but the risk is just not worth it for t…

Problems that solve themselves, really.

Hah, I have it easy by that measure. I don't have space in my home to fit a TV in to hook a PS4 (or XBone) to! I did upgrade my 4-year-old desktop, though. I should probably scratc…

QW had to send a lot less data. All the physical simulation ran on the server, so each client would send their inputs and the server would send back the world state. Current games'…

"Deserve" is a bit strong, but you will be breaking the law in a rather serious way.

That's some nice useless use of cat you have there ;) . You can just do cc -fPIC -o $sofile -shared -x c -

They are, in a way, the most benevolent of dictators.

Good for the consumer, not good according to a metric of enforcing digital ownership by the license holder. The latter might, or might not be, good for the bottom line.

while read line; do echo $line>>$cfile done Okay, I know this is a joke and all, but that's the exact wrong way to do it. What you want to do is just cat > $cfile

Can't you just install JACK on Android and be done with it?

Yeah, this is typical male group dynamics. Same would happen if I were to suggest Friends instead of baseball. I wonder though, how do groups of women solve that?

HTML+javascript. Wrap your application in a custom browser instance, have all the ease of developing a GUI in CSS and all the joy of supporting multiple platforms.

I don't eat GMO food, so I don't want to wear GMO jewellery, it's that simple.

That is incorrect, citizen. The S7 has always been thinner than the S6. Source: I am a Minitrue officer.

Funny, that's my stance towards Trump (or Drumpf). He's a racist homophobic asshole, but at least he's not Clinton.

Interesting, but he doesn't seem to take into account the fact that his source image is in sRGB colour space, as opposed to linear.
