I hate Comcast but I will say this app pretty nice. This feature has the potential to make it amazing. I honestly never thought they'd add offline mode, it's sorely needed for these types of apps. Chances are if I want to watch TV on my phone I'm not at home and not near a Wifi that would allow that kind of bandwidth…

I had to learn to program 370 assembly language for an old job. Very interesting to learn, but it really makes you appreciate modern programming languages.

I wouldn't be surprised if most banks still have one kicking around in some data center. When I first started programming in 1999 I had to learn to write 370 (the successor to the 360) assembly language because we were retiring our mainframe and converting the logic to Java. We were well ahead of the curve back then…

I know that guy, his login is admin/admin.

Whitson, what do you think about building this out of one of those tiny Linux boards and an external hard drive?

Nothing at all stops you from setting this up on AWS but I'd wager it's probably against their TOS and might get shutdown. They also seem to monitor traffic, we've had a Windows instance shutdown because it was downloading from remote sites.

"No thanks"

Raiders fans do often promise to send people home in a wheelchair.

Looks up: Ooh Neat!

Totally, my 3G ran like crap with lock screen widgets which was one of my factors in moving to android. I like having control of my lock screen, launcher etc. and even jail broken it's not a great option. It was clear to me that I'd never have that kind of freedom in iOS.

They take a very high level guess based mostly on the CPU, RAM, VRAM and few special VCard features like say hardware texture and lighting support. While most games recommended settings might get you in the ball park, I think they err on the side of caution. You can usually get better performance and graphics and if…

If all these iOS articles didn't ignore the fact that these "innovations" have been around for years, people would probably be less likely to pull that line. It's not even so much an android fanboi thing, I had most of these features on my jailbroken 3G three years ago.

I just bought Skyrim a week ago during the steam sale. In the first 4 hours (not counting to 2 hours I spent getting it stop crashing at the menu screen)

Been over a week since I first saw this, still not getting old.

They also updated the Android version yesterday to finally include "shrink to view" and zooming in email. I don't understand why it took so long to add zooming, shouldn't that be like the first feature added?

I'm speaking from more from the video game RPG side, but I always seem to slip into Neutral Good alignments no matter what. Even if I start out trying to be as evil as fuck I somehow slip back into side quests which involve doing good which branch into more good. Eventually I'm more good than evil again. I'm sure a…

Plus with cash you don't end up stuck with a plastic card that has $0.35 left on it that you can never spend.

Perhaps time just moves slower inside the box.

I think these types of games will really lend themselves to tablets being that they're more turn based rather than reflex based. This seems like it should feel pretty natural on a touch screen. I'm hoping we see more ports like this in the future, say Fallout and Fallout 2.

Very cool, but aren't we all programmed to ignore everything below that line by now?
