When did tech journalists become technology experts?

How much planning goes into a DDoS attack?

I have to admit. Surprised I am.

I’m afraid that is somewhat irrelevant due to a high temporal variance. The point is, she wants what she wants when she wants it, and she expects everyone else to read her mind so that they can satisfy the want.

Ok, so how is one supposed to know that someone just wants to be left alone “enjoying some R&R”? Last I checked people still can’t read minds. Just say “thanks, but I’m not interested” or whatever if you want to get rid of somebody. How else are people going to meet each other if not by one of them taking the leap to…

“economic growth enhances environmental protection”

Yeah well, a bad day for the snake, but this hardly counts as “horribly wrong”.

—tapping into the open source Tor network to make sure the 1s and 0s you’re sending and receiving are encrypted, anonymized and bounced around various locations worldwide.

Hiding the SSID will just cause your laptop or whatever device to broadcast that SSID instead of the AP. So is it better to have the access point broadcast it at home, or is it better to have all your devices broadcast it everywhere you go?

For some reason I really don’t like these “10,000 times colder” style statements, or “10 times smaller”, or anything like that. It doesn’t seem to make any immediate mathematical sense. Although something being “two times bigger” or “ten times higher” is not very good either, people don’t seem to be able to agree on…

Common outdoor machinery my ass.

Just take a look at around 0:12 in the video. It looks nothing like your picture, but rather the furthest-reaching “corner” of the previous tile is always behind the ground-touching corner of the next tile. I.e. when a tile drops fully, the previous tile will not reach to the edge of the dropped tile.

Why? This is a completely feasible scenario if you take your sweet forever to set the spacing well enough.

“just because the very last one moved enough to drop the previous one in place there’s absolutely nothing that forces the previous one to move and continue the chain reaction backward”

A grown up man acting like a friggin toddler. Friggin primitives.

Really... This hardly counts as allowing you to bypass _any_ iPhone’s lockscreen. Not sure if it even counts as bypassing the lockscreen. And what’s so “weird” about the trick?

Um, like every other laptop user? Especially when Windows itself takes up a ridiculous amount of space which seems to double with every wonderful update they force you to download. And yes, of course I’m exaggerating somewhat. I’m constantly struggling with available disk space with my MBPr with a 250GB drive because…

“Let’s start with the “attention all men” part, because obviously all men want to date women.”

Why would you purposefully make such false statements, you clearly know that these images have absolutely nothing to do with the real colors of whatever is imaged. It’s science, and we have enough misconceptions already, so if you’re only planning to make things worse, please leave it be.
