This was the game that taught me what system requirements were. My parents got it for me for my birthday or Christmas - went to install it and my Leading Edge purchased from Crutchfield just laughed at me.

Mind posting the link to that comment? I purchased that bundle and would be curious to see where to start.

I'm just saying that just because you're willingly giving your DOB, doesn't mean it's not considered "sensitive information". An employer can use it to determine if you're old enough to work there (Arby&#x

Believe it or not, it really is. I was given this example by an attorney who specialized in HIPAA law: Say a chain store has a breach and the only thing that was stolen was a customer's name and their flu shot records - that wouldn&#x2

After nearly 10 years working with AWS, I've learned to never trust that page.

Interesting - I had no idea they did that. Well, I guess checking my instances in C won't be any help to you. Sorry!

Don't feel too bad about this - Android Auto is nice, but it still has a lot of drawbacks and deficiencies. I just switched to a car without it and realized I don't miss it at all.

I had it done nearly 10 years ago and ever since, my eyes are much more sensitive to light and I do see halos around lights at night. That said, I'd still have it done again without a second thought - the benefits for me far outweigh t

Off topic: I may be old and cranky, but I simply can't stand articles with animated gifs - it just seems ridiculously unprofessional.

> At Atlassian, one of our design principles is to gracefully reveal depth. Did anyone let the Jira team know? I love Jira, but the UI can be horribly clunky at times.

I can relate. I spent half of Player of Games just trying to internalize the pronunciation of Jernau Morat Gurgeh. That aside, great book.

Peet's bought out our Caribou and took quite a while to remodel it before re-opening. It was open as a Peet's for maybe 6 months and it closed for good. I just don't understand how they came to that decision.

Wow, chalk seeing a BuzzFeed article on HN as one of the last things I thought I'd ever see...

You just know there's a startup somewhere saying, "Dammit, that was our idea!".

This reminds me of the story of Blizzard seeing Dominion Storm at E3 in 1996. After seeing the demo, they felt like they should kill Starcraft because of how much "better" Ion Storm's demo was than their own. Turns out is was

If I'm not mistaken, I would guess the only reason the FBI is involved is because it's interstate computer crime, which is their jurisdiction. I see what you mean though - if it's just a matter of someone stealing the old GM&

A point I can't even begin to argue - I used to work there when I was 16.

A crazy idea might be to start with better evaluation of potential franchisees. The ones in my area are a comedy of poor management and apathetic employees.

I ran into this issue 2 years ago when I dropped iPhone for Android - I seriously can't believe it's still a problem. Even following Apple's official KB article, it will still take a few days for all of your messages to start

I had something like this happen at a small software company I worked about 15 years ago. Our owner had written a specialized program for his wife to sell on the side, but under the company's name. One weekend, after a very big fight,

That's what I assumed, but if you look at the history, the prices have been trending like this for over a month now.

Funny you should mention that. There was a blog post I had read where they were discussing an unfortunate AWS customer who bid $999.00/hour for Spot instances thinking it would protect their running servers from shutting down. Little d

I'd been doing my own research on viability of mining on Amazon, and I posed a question on the AWS forums asking how it's possible the spot prices could be going so high. There's instances going anywhere from 5-20 times their

They were self-funded for about 3-4 years, then received a cash infusion from a private equity firm (the first trigger event), then were sold to a much larger VC a few years later. That's when the firings started taking place.

It really does, but these founders end up only hurting themselves - people talk, morale dips, and no one will trust them again.
