Adding 'technicians' is not a bad thing, because like you said it lets us focus on the real problems. The 14 year olds can configure their blogs and fix peoples' computers while we write the software to send spaceships to Ma

Is Flappy Bird just a clone of that rediculously fun helicopter tunnel game that everyone used to play on AddictingGames, the name of which escapes me right now? It's funny how many of these record-shattering Android and iOS games are

There's no such thing as 'civil' when it comes to business, especially not when you're dealing with millions of dollars. When most business people (SV companies included) shake your hand they're holding a knife beh

Interesting fact: they wanted to go for this effect in Firefly, but the camera guy they had was so good that his freehanded shots looked like steadycam shots anyway.

We had an electric typewriter in my house for years even after we got our first computer, and only got rid of it recently. So sad :[

Fact! Tackling is my favorite part of fleet combat. I've pulled out battleships when necessary, but buzzing between the huge ships in a Vigil at 4.5km/s and fucking their warp drives is so much fun.

This is quite possibly the most hilarious bug I've ever seen. What I really want to know is who the hell actually googles "gmail"? There's a link at the top of the homepage!

This case is really interesting. Here's a guy who had committed numerous murders, and gotten away with it to boot. But he had to have the recognition. Criminal psychology is fascinating stuff.

I think this is a pretty good assessment. I learned C first, so a lot of this stuff comes naturally to me. On the other hand, a friend of mine learned Java first. Now he's in a Master's program and doing C, and he's consta

Not everyone can get a full time job in this economy. A friend of mine is struggling to pay rent with her part time job at minimum wage. She can't afford to eat every day. Sure, you could tell her "go get a full time job",

Good call spotting the sock puppet.

Someone who likes to figure out how things work. This usually involves breaking things and using them for purposes other than what they were intended for, which is why they get such a bad rap.

Travel. That's what I wish I had done. I'm going back to school for my masters soon, and when I get done I'll be traveling for a while. Don't waste your youth sitting around, there's a lot of world out there.

Can we talk about the real issue in this article? Forty-five MILLION people are functionally illiterate. How was I not aware of this? Why aren't people more concerned about this?

This made me smile. Google News is so full of drivel and shock-value titles from all the major sources. It's good to see some news on the other side.

I thought Hitler was Time's POTY when he was still propelling Germany out of abject poverty, and before he, you know, started a war. Is my timing off here?

I think putting Snowden on here is cheating, especially among this crowd. Yes, what he did was extremely important. Yes what he did had a tech impact, but the majority of the impact was societal, IMHO. I voted for him on Time, but here I

I don't think it does. Just remember that an artist came up with this. The rotary engine was great in theory, too.

Despite the evil connotations associated with this phrase post-WW2, I have to say that I agree with it.

I've also just started learning hardware development in my spare time. It's a very different challenge than software, and I'm already having a ton of fun with it. To get started, I'd recommend taking a look at this tut

Reporting in from the "I hate Unity" department. If I wanted to use something that looks like a mac, I would just get a mac.

This seems like a very childish response to me. Perhaps it would have been better to simply decline the offer and list your reasons, rather than berating the recruiter. As it currently appears, the argument is not even very clearly thought

I don't know why everyone glorifies silicon valley so much. I could never work in a place where people would stab their own grandmother in the back just to get up one rung.

I don't see it taking too long for someone to make an open source DRM-free browser that just ignores the HTML 5 DRM functionality.
