am I naive to think we all would get spied on a lot less if we cleared our browser cookies every couple of hours or at least daily?

building whole cities and landscapes by putting together small bricks piece by piece? would be surprised if they were not all over it in DK, the land of lego.

Same here, stopped watching around 1998. I though it's mostly about the car (which is largely random per-season, yes) and instead of celebrating the design/engineering behind the only things celebrated around f1 are the personalit

I think Facebook is not after FB Purity. They are after anyone who could come up with a plugin that scrapes the content and stores it to a db. People using the plugin would get access to the db in exchange: companies could look up prospecti

can someone explain to me how you can make money on a game like Rochard (one of the games in the bundle)? There is such an incredible amount of detail in the background in each scene, it looks like few thousand hours of work just that.

But I said 'better enough'. There are of course investors that can legally get above the index.

One day, mathematicians will prove that any fund doing better enough than the index must be insider trading. All those people from the 90s and 2000s, long retired by then, will be convicted. It's like in cycling when they measure too much h

just a smuggling idea: why don't they build an unmanned sub to shuttle the drugs around the border? it could go much deeper (no air needed), move real slowly, stay submerged for a very long time at one place, navigate completely automatical

hmm.. a clever trick for non-chrome users to realize how slow the javascript in their browser is?

hmm two things come to mind: 1) finally something that would make me switch for a 'wide-screen' lcd. 2) if you can resize the bar then all of the webdesigners' estimates about "this much should always fit the screen without scrolling" are o

is it a design pattern or an antipattern to call the main page just "Home"?

> Especially as a programmer, why would you put up with something so ridiculous? It's not that hard to find work doing development elsewhere. I think this is partly because they feel specialized in what they are doing and their feelin

there's something seriously fucked up with the game industry. A uni friend with a reasonably good theoretical CS degree tried to get a junior gameplay programming job last year and was told/signalled his knowledge and experience is not game
