I can put up with your smug, cowardly, evil war nerd horseshit, but not when it's from a throwaway. Fuck you, fuck this encroaching Reddit-flavored nonsense, thank you HN, and goodbye HN.

Tetris requires a properly sized view and clear, effortlessly distinguishable artwork. MUDs require a quality typeface, proper layout, and appropriate coloring. Pacman would be nothing without its remarkable low-fi charm. Letterpress wouldn

Ok, nevermind on the siting bit, the paper is drafting on her PHD thesis which presumably supports the argument that these ants mounds correlate with faults.

This overseas reblog of a pop science blog which co-blogged a piece from @beckyoskin working for a blogring does not pass the smell test. At the very least, the headline is garbage. There is no link to the source (here: http://www.mdpi.com

Basically, PCs are dumb, boring work terminals for old people. Children coming of computing age when the iPhone was released are now 9 years old, perhaps on their second or third portable gaming device, and lobbying their parents for an iPh

Boo, hiss. Taking marketing at face value is holding a weed whacker by the wrong end.

It's rather frustrating when the core functionality for a quarter billion phones stops working on a monthly basis. But at least I can now understand the hot tears generated when BBM would go down; over-the-top messaging with delivery/read/s

Just to put a needle fine point on it: Wal-Mart has "always low prices"... for your area. Their data mining lets them know exactly what to price Household Paper Products in your zip code so that they're always lower than the surrounding c

I dunno. Maybe ten years around Steve Ballmer terminally fucked him up. The fundamental problem is that his post was targeted at the 10,000 industry and customer elite, none of whom feel like giving the Titan much respect because nobody fun

Christ, what an asshole. "An annual web poll shows that once again, Electronic Arts will be named the "Worst Company in America". We at EA understand that we provide a lightning rod for many in an industry that has undergone massive change

No? Unless I'm utterly missing something, the thrust of this design is that it doesn't require tracking at all. Rather, it doesn't require tracking -and- it's a concentrating design.

Wrong, stop, I can personally name forty people working on it right now. Cancer is not a single thing, and progress is made on every front, every day.

Hrm, I agree with what you said. I overreacted. Wiping my comment.

Hrm, they label it as "iOS and UX to Windows porting labs". So in a sense.

Haha, true. But it's a whole lot better than "Buy shitty VM product, then source a retail/whitebox copy of Windows, then Install and Patch, Install and Patch, and set up Dev tools for about $400."

Yes it really is a mistake, and you're being obnoxious. Please stop.

Ya, but look at it from a pragmatic business perspective, and this is Microsoft doing exactly what they should to court the prodigal developer: set up a zero hassle Windows environment on your favorite platform for cheap.

Because that'd require hauling in 200 vehicles to replace a $10,000 battery pack while tying up maintenance bays, disrupting production to source and ship 60kWh packs, and incur a multi-million dollar charge on a company that is barely brea
