Disagree it still exists on Facebook very heavily. You probably just don't see it in your circle of friends. So yes Facebook has an edge in the sense they keep the hordes of dead accounts, spam bots, etc. away from you.

It's not the packaging that needs work, its the product. Popular forms of effective male pregnancy prevention are pretty limited. There really hasn't been any innovation in the field in a long time. Really we can launch people into space bu

I agree with the coat of paint comment but if we have learned anything about government agencies or large corporations being hacked in the past it is that their Internet security practices can sometimes be painfully bad. @Below and HBGary w

That hummer also weighs in excess of 5000 pounds stock not including the missile system and is designed to have recoil less rockets fired from a top mounted turret. That Toyota truck weighs less, has a weaker chassis, and is in no way desig

This is not just used in Northern Europe it is sometimes used on American maps to indicate places of interests when there is already a heavy amount of key symbols used. This is a great read and its no surprise Susan Kare referenced a intern

I saw a news bit about how breakout ISPs in the UK are selling 100mbps(I believe I might be wrong on the speed) for as low as 6.99 quid. American utility bubble? I think so. At this point I am positive the Verizons and the Comcasts could of

HAHA this sucks for bitcoin, too bad this has been going on since the internet first started. In fact drug selling was one of the first activities on BBSs. Too bad for bitcoin, services like Pecunix have been harboring this kind of stuff fo

I think you need to read up on cyber crime and cyber criminal groups. Your thesis is correct but only accounts for those who are not independent from the internet. A professional attacker wouldn't ever use the machine and network they were

Not surprising since they are just a bunch of weekend warriors and kids. Any real smooth operator wouldn't be working out of his house, and especially not on a personal browsing machine. From the opposite perspective of that, the government

Agreed, wonderful analogy. Also in response to the source article, what defines a post as a "bad contribution" does this mean it was totally inappropriate or just needed slight tweaking. Has the author ever tried to make a legit new wiki po

"Over three quarters of contributions from registered users are from someone who's had a contribution reverted." Well this makes sense entirely since it is peer reviewed and the articles are a living ecosystem which are built off of and on

I would say that it is definitely a power or over buy. I would agree that the purchasing price could be a good bit lower. Now I'm not trying to demean Nat in anyway they are in no way a garage operation, but they have not been doing that we

Outsourcing is for inefficient cost cutters, almost any task can be completed domestically or even locally. People outsourcing jobs is one reason a lot of people don't have jobs. Sure some tasks may cost more to stay local, but doesn't it j

The plant should have been dismantled, flooded, and buried within 24 hours of the emergency generators going down. They knew how bad it was/is, this all could have been prevented.

I'd be so scared to make that 30 foot dive in the deep ocean in a homemade sub. I wonder how many have gone to 30 feet and just kept sinking.

Why spend more money on robotics when you have an almost unlimited supply of patsies. A 2 weeks trip originating in narrow Jungle swamps and transiting deep ocean water would require serious robotic control. But if they keep making so much
