What I don't understand is how exactly it is as you claim it is. My Reddits consist of programming, robotics, science, math, etc.t, and get nothing but positive, helpful feedback and meaningful discourse that DOESN'T (key word here) infuria

Agreed. I'm pretty sure the message here was "hey you can enhance things and this is usually the most common surgically-enhanced body part," not "women are items and you should make sure to keep her in the kitchen lest she learn how to work

What makes me really happy is that when me and my roommate discussed how this worked months ago, we eventually explained it exactly as he did in less-equation-y form. Moral of the story: I don't fail completely at fluid dynamics.

While I see your point (I agree for the most part), I do hold that while it is being a bit... overconfident(?) I do see that is a problem sometimes in companies. I think it's mostly a fault in recruiters as some of the more-technical positi

This was discussed a few days ago, and I completely agree. If you rely on a buggy platform, and it fails, you subsequently have your site fail. This is a perfect example of exactly how this goes about, too.

True fact - CoffeeScript did the same for me even though it was heavily frowned upon by others. Typically I omit them if I can. And I have no reason to do so other than I think it makes the code look cleaner (I am often quite zealous on pro

Claiming forgetfulness concerning the key would give you a way out unless they could manage to crack it - at that point you would have dodged the self-incrimination bullet but could not be legally bound to simply "decrypt it." I agree thoug

Forcing me to be okay with everyone and their dog seeing what I do on my own time and on a completely different site is unacceptable, and frankly just lazy on their part. That has nothing to do with "commitment." I as a consumer get nothing

Well actually I think it's better than jamming the newest (insert band here) album and not be able to hear much other than that and a very dim amount of engine noise. I think it is safe to say it's likely a combination of many things - this

This is actually quite interesting - I didn't know you could do that, and I will likely employ it in the future, especially with a remote web server or something you can't immediately get to. So as you roll in, you check your email on your

Plain and simple: She should have driven a harder bargain or not gone for it. Also #3, #3, #3, and #3. People don't read the little bit on Groupon where it says "tip like you're not getting a discount," or just ignore it, and also #3.

I believe this is the final answer for water-cooled systems, haha.

No joke - ironic from the Linux crowd to bash how timely some corp releases their proprietary data. The person writing the article has been in industry and realises what the proverbial "red tape" is, right?

But the thing is that is religious text, and also isn't particularly inflammatory. We know that religions don't usually accept homosexuality. They're not saying to burn a couple hundred. But really if some organisation was to round up a few

See at this point I would be far more amused than furious. A legitimate, helpful response (although it IS SO's login, so.... eh) that's a little bit of a "hey quit being a douche" is actually a pretty good way to go about it from a PR stand

Yup, now they just need to actually do that with quite a few of their own products and we'd have two happy, completely different corporations that don't release sh*tty software from time to time.

To be fair, they published a paper in 2006. While slow, I can see how something like this would need heavily evidence-supported data to be even remotely non-laughable in even scientific communities. Now I'm not disagreeing in saying that pr

While trying to avoid the cliche "Apple sux" explanation, I'm actually genuinely surprised they botched this as badly as they seem to have. Maybe it's releasing a product without a comprehensive music database being in place. Maybe it's the

What he said. If they're going to try to say to break out of your shell and be different and go crazy and be rebels (look at the people in that video, jeez) it's ironic that Apple now tells people what they can and cannot create.

Here's what gets me: The disconnect between that video at the end of his presentation versus Apple today. "Think different... as long as we approve your application for download on the app store." Admittedly a pretty cool video though.

Not really, because it has hard boundaries, that is to say it can never "level" at perfectly parallel to the ground (obviously), and cannot achieve perfectly perpendicular alignment to the ground. Speeds with such limited motion are actuall
