100% agreed! Currently I'm trying to get access to a iTSM tool that uses HTTP as it's transport mechanism. It uses ActiveX controls to gather data into a grid-like mechanism. As I particularly hate ActiveX, I have started reverse engineerin

I have indeed played this game when I was much younger. I think I was disturbed by this part of the game even back then. The reason I'm disturbed isn't superficial, and has nothing really to do with Larry losing his virginity. It is the ter

Yes, I'm aware it's known as the "oldest profession". Please stop saying I'm shocked. I'm not shocked, and I have never said I was shocked. The original post said I was disturbed by the comment in the screenshot, and it was mostly because

Why is this getting downvoted? Not snarky, or sarcastic.

Noted!

Try not to use begging the question as an argument. But what makes me sad is the second part. Because it's in a game, and it's done to be funny. I'm not shocked by the existence of hookers. I should be, but I'm desensitized.

Yeah, downvote me. Clearly it was sarcasm.

Wow... according to Wikipedia, the women on the box were all employees of On-Line Systems, the precursor to Sierra. One of them is a bookkeeper! I'd be curious as to how the convinced them to pose naked on the box.

I know. Respect for women is SUCH a dull way to live your life.

I have to agree with i386. There's a pretty disturbing screenshot where Larry says that "this is the hooker's seedy bedroom. The bed's a mess, so is the hooker!". http://www.replaygamesinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/tum...

I'm sure it's a great article, but seriously it popped up a screen asking me to enter my email address - BEFORE I read what they were trying to say. Why would I give them my email? Just a thought for future, if you are associated with the s

Seems like an April Fool's Day double bluff. The Golden Spiral is actually often used as the basis for laying out webpages. A good article I found is here: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2010/02/09/applying-mathemat...

I love Linux myself, and I have no doubt that they've saved money, but the following makes me a little concerned about how they are going about Service Management: "Ude said it was impossible to be exact about the amount of complaints the h

The whole point is to deliver a larger signal to noise ratio - posting these every month would lower this, IMO.

From what I've seen of HackerNews, this is already happening!

I also agree - but then he said something potentially defamatory :-) However, I think if an employee looks up Shay's details, they will first find his op-ed calling Zynga "evil". I guess if they are concerned about the OMGPOP tweet, then th

Funny, I don't believe that she is being prosecuted of a crime. The ones asking her for the password is the Education Board , who have no legal recourse but to demand the password. If this was a prosecutor, they would file a subpoena to Fa

People like him are held up to high standards because they have responsibilities and are paid accordingly. It's called leadership. Leaders watch what they say. As for celebrities acting badly, this doesn't make it particularly admirable. I

Simple "solution" - delete her Facebook profile and tell them that's what she's done. Surely there is a law that's already on the books that prevents coersion of person details? Under the U.S. Constitution, the government must get a search

It's interesting to see this occuring. Both of these firms are going to get hurt by this, or worse both will go bankrupt. Even if one firm survives, when they raise their prices, who's to say that their customers won't go to another of the

I disagree. I've met a LOT of developers who believe they know more than the customer, the QA team, the UX team and the DBAs. And they are, most often, wrong. I think it takes a special sort of programmer to run a project to be honest. They

It's a great idea, and actually slashdot is already doing this on their front page. However, there are some problems: 1. If I want to find a particular item within the first "page" of results, but I've scrolled down 10 pages of results, fin

If I've paid for an app, then I expect it to work. If it's not working, then I expect you to fix it. I don't expect to pay for those fixes. Features, on the other hand, I expect to pay for.
