This is completely circumstantial - Did you have Amazon Alexa nearby? Or Google Assistant? More likely they "overheard" your conversation than ATT doing this.

I didn't want to make the post longer than it is, but there's a slew of related failings on Skype's site, including inability to even post on their discussion forums if your Skype account is disabled. I've seen many peop

Just set up something like GetSatisfaction and let community try to help itself, while you rest and get your sanity back. Take as long as you need - a week, or a month, whatever. You are probably in the best position to fix/improve it

Wait a minute, if they are leeching so much money (even if some are supposed 'credit for future') from (mostly) unsuspecting Customers - WHY did they need so many millions from Investors also, in series B and series C also? Also -

I actually clearly remember that - and at least they did send me something every month - reminding that my card is getting charged. And yes, it still felt scammy and I was glad to unsubscribe as soon as possible. Here - this is definitely a

With little amount of information Skype requires when signing up, I think fallback option is just not feasible. If you left the company or email provider out of business - and you forgot to switch your email AND THEN you forgot your passwor

Besides really pretty Russian girl, there is very little benefit to that video. Maybe add some subtitles or spend more seconds on video portions that have text? I couldn't figure out why some things she scrolls have price tags of $250 and s

Actually, my feeling is that you misunderstood Jeff. He makes a great point - we can't all be programmers, world needs people with all kinds of skills.

Awesome work, either way! Very impressive collection of language samples. It would make great post to tell us how you put this together, especially where these code samples were from and anything else of interest. Kudos!

So I've been doing relatively well, up to 12 and score of 75% - but then I hit TI-BASIC. After I chose it right, the number on the left progressed, but nothing changed in the language itself. After that, kept clicking Forfeit and counter on

Anyone noted which software stack he is using? Is it plain Java 3D API or any libraries on top of it? Also, I'd expect things would be more dynamic in whatever new game he's making, but that seems to be pretty static room he's playing with.
