I'm very interested in Philosophy but things like history bore me. I don't want to simply know facts, I want to understand reasons. I have a passing interest in liberal arts when it comes to social communication with people, but I don't care enough to write a 15 page paper about social nuances and undertones of…

So I just apply? I feel that if I'm just a resume in a stack of other resumes, I'll be overlooked because of a lack of a BS degree. I could request an audience with the dean, but I wouldn't know what to say that would clinch my enrollment.

Minecraft Pocket Edition runs smoothly on my US/dual-core S III. Can't forget all the -oid emulators out there that really stress other hardware.

So I tried college. I went for 5 years to Oklahoma Christian University starting as a Computer Engineer student but quickly changed to Computer Science (I was confused on the differences back then). I did all their CS courses needed to graduate and I passed them all with flying colors. The gen-eds were annoying,…

Email provides something most social networking companies don't want to provide: private communication. Social networks like Twitter, Facebook, and G+ thrive when communication hits large audiences. Metcalfe's law (a way to determine the value of a network) only works when the users in the system are actually…

There's no reason to call it 21:9. It's a ratio. It should be reduced to the smallest fraction: 7:3. With that said, I'd buy it if things actually came in that scale. Otherwise you'd constantly have vertical black bars (space you paid for that's not being used) on everything you watch or you stretch the image and some…

He rendered these with fingerprint smudges? I believe they're renderings, but I don't like that touch of "added realism."

The link appears to be a broken but I found a swf of it in action (using your system time as the watch time):

This has never happened to me. I listen to Google Music every time I drive, every where I go. Playlists, all of an artist's songs, albums, whatever type of grouping I use, I have never experienced this on my Android or on the website.

Anybody know of a Chrome extension to do the same thing?

Is it just me, or is that the exact shade of the G+ app icon?

If we drop paper money for purely coin tender, I make one request: put a hole in the coin! We have wallets to keep bills together in a organized fashion, small bills up front, big bills in back (or vice versa). With coins, the best we can really do with a solid coin is to either put it in a tube (an exact matching…

Just use Windows Powershell. If you are running Windows 7, you already have it. If you're running anything else, there's an optional update that includes Windows Powershell. It's great.

Maybe we finally found Jimmy Hoffa! Mythbusters tried, but Mike Laub succeeds!

It's on a little white pedestal? I don't know... but I've seen art like this before out in the wild.

I give it a few hours before all that is put into "5 Million Dollars, 1 Torrent" and put on TPB or demonoid.

What is it about tilt-shift that makes everything look so miniature and toy-like?

It's about mobility coupled with power! The power of a desktop, the mobility of a lapt...err, I mean mini-motorcycle.

This is not the best way to achieve this. Instead of having a "whitelist" of sites to affect, it's better to have a blacklist of sites to not affect. An extension I found for Chrome called KB SSL Enforcer does just this. It tests if a site is capable of being delivered through HTTPS and redirects you to it instead…
