Could that also be interpreted as: ------ Hearing a disturbance, the master programmer went into the novice's cubicle. "Curse these search engines!" cried the novice in anger, "To find anything I must scroll through thre

I found The Hawkeye Initiative to be a pretty hilarious response to this issue (more geared towards representation in comics), not sure many people know about it. http://thehawkeyeinitiative.com/

There's actually a TED talk with a group of freeform jazz performers explaining something similar to this called "There are no mistakes on the bandstand": http://www.ted.com/talks/stefon_harris_there_are_

Wow... Embarrassing that this guy was ever charged in the first place. I thought it was some kind of joke when reading the title or that there was more to it, but nope, that pretty much sums it up, chalk. :|

This is like saying "I take it you've never been shot", like knife stick or gun is the only other option. xD Do you really think they would have subdued the (already held down by 5 officers) kid asking John Kerry uncomfortabl

I think the resolution and real-time power of government satellites and the commercial satellites they have access to is debatable unless you've actually seen it. I recently had to look into this and was pretty surprised at the level o

It's also sad to see the immediate dismissal of alternate story lines even after this discovery. A conspiracy was just uncovered... and we're concerned about conspiracy-theorizing? The word itself has been dragged through the mud

This would be fine if many prisons were not privately owned entities and if most inmates were not overly sentenced for minor drug charges. We also have a growing incarceration rate (U.S), which shows that prison does a pretty poor job of ma

"All this is to say that the promises execs make on acquisitions are meaningless." Well yeah, all promises are meaningless. Were any of these promises in writing as part of the acquisition? I mean are they legally bound to comply? If not, w

"Why do I feel this way?" Might not be the age, but the general mystery, undiscovered value and permanent loss of human history. I mean, yes we tear down and rebuild buildings all the time, but no one is re-building these temples. Once it's

Drag and drop. When I drag an icon to a location and I miss, I think it's better to see the item animate back to it's original location rather than just disappear and "pop" back. Having it animate back is just better communication for that

Great, as if people walking around talking to "no one" wasn't bad enough, now people will be randomly grabbing at air and twitching their eyes. How are we supposed to separate the crazy people from the sane?! And the real question here, who

"as of late"? Feels like the lack of checks and balances on the police has been going on for a while. It's only when something major happens that people take notice, like someone putting together this report, now all of a sudden it's a new

To be fair, it was a giant yellow box that gave an explanation of the words "sponsor content" when you hovered over it. Also the box isn't always yellow or that big, sometimes it's light tan, small and blends into the page; so they at least

Didn't he also publicly release nude photos of her and three other women? Still maybe a bit extreme on the sentence, but it wasn't just "reading e-mail".

Maybe it's just me, but the photo itself looks very fake, specifically John McAfee, more specifically his head and the lighting. Why is his head distorted/skewed (on his left eye area, as if from the lens) when the other guys head isn't. Th

Some of those "hobbyists" at Copenhagen Suborbitals are former NASA contractors and they have been working on that project since May 2008, so I think his main point still stands. It also looks like they're still doing a lot of testing on ac

I don't like this argument because you can replace "drugs" with anything a government decides to make illegal. If a product or service is made illegal and there's still a demand, it will be sold on the black market and everyone knows what t

Yes it might "cost less", but I wonder, he also gets food stamps, do you think (in this case) less would some how be affordable for him? In reality without the handout tuition might cost less, but he still wouldn't be able to afford it and

"You have made the choice not to enforce your own terms of service." Not really. They've just made a choice not to enforce Section 11, which they state, in Section 11, that they can do. In the first sentence of Section 11 it says "in the so

If you want to do cartoon animation, look into ToonBoom. If you want to make games, you don't need to buy Flash, look into FlashDevelop and some AS3 game frameworks, etc. This is coming from a guy who's been using Flash for years and every

Many people write their PHP views in raw PHP to remove the (albeit small) overhead from a templating system. I think this is where the PHP short open tag syntax gets used the most (I know I use it there a lot), this is because: <?=$user
