As if they even need this. Having worked at a small construction company for a year, I've seen multiple worker's comp claims denied even when the injury is our fault. Worker's comp in general is flawed, but this scheme shows

I don't know if I'd agree with branding it as a "console". Platform might be a better word. Console implies it's a self-contained set of hardware, which this isn't. Good proof of concept, probably not a good bu

Maybe this study will prompt advertisers to consider why a third of the internet is blocking their ads? Just kidding. They'll just get mad at blockers and continue to make their users' lives a living hell.

I've used computers most of my life. Other than my eyes being very sensitive (applying eyeshadow causes me to tear up), my vision is better than 20/20. Honestly, computers have done way more damage to my posture than my eyesight.

Been using Gmail since the beta and never had a problem with the spam filter either. The only false positives I've ever had were some confirmation emails from Amazon.

Was I the only one disappointed to hear that the knife couldn't be used as a screwdriver? I would think that a game designer would be excited to allow the pocket knife to be used as a separate, emergent solution to the puzzle. Don&#x27

I feel like the OPM isn't doing enough about this breach. Espionage or not, American citizens outside the IC were affected and deserve to know if they've been compromised. More efforts need to be made to inform potential victims b

There was a lot of yelling from both sides of the conversation, mostly about topics unrelated to the article itself. While the thread should have been about the actions Voat's host took against it, most of the discussion was off topic,

Point 2 is referring to fulfillment of Kickstarter costs, not translation. Backers on Kickstarter receive rewards with their pledges, which someone has to pay for, including shipping on not just games but also t-shirts, art books, and other

They aren't. The Kickstarter has no affiliation with Sony.

ISDS isn't the only problem with the treaty, though. It's just another problem that highlights how much TTIP would empower corporations at the detriment of private citizens.

I'm pessimistic about the chances of TTIP being stopped. For all the public outcry and actions of those brave politicians standing against it, I have a feeling that negotiations will side with the money.

Does Google have a team working round the clock to develop the most annoying webpages possible? For as many "cool wow amazing" CSS tricks as this site uses, it doesn't do a good job of explaining what it is at all. And what&#

But why? Why would you dynamically render your logo like this? Is the extra overhead really necessary?

While generational groups may have similar experiences, and therefore similar worldviews based on those experiences, it seems to me that the labels themselves aren't used in that way. They're used more as labels of pride and preju

I have no idea what this site does, but it sounds like it lets game players pitch ideas to game developers. Look at the ideas section of Steam Greenlight and you'll understand immediately why this is a bad idea.

There's tons of problems with Google's services. They make radical changes that bloat them and slow them down. They cut services that people find useful because they're not as big as something like Maps or Gmail, or even for

Keep in mind the author's research into video games in general was probably only skin deep. Statements like saying World of Warcraft is older than Starcraft indicate that they probably paraphrased a lot of the vidya discussion.

Let's not start praising Mayer until she actually turns Yahoo around. It's still in decline, and while she's able to slow it, Yahoo isn't winning again yet. They have a lot of push in the mobile market, but there's

> 8. Buy a song. Last year, it would have been "Respect" by Aretha Franklin. This year, maybe it's "Ain't too Proud to Beg." Why buy one song when you can buy all of them?
