When you make a good community-driven product, you will have a good community and reap the benefits of that community. I am surprised that China decided to attack GitHub (couldn’t they choose something else? And why GitHub?), but I am not surprised that GitHub and its constituents are barely fazed.

Math. It's hard.

I ever adore the "Less Is More" ethos of Mazda's MX-5. That other readers want bigger HP numbers and don't understand ... is no surprise. This is a driver's car. Not a racer's car. This is the car you take when you enjoy driving all the time and want to enjoy driving all the time even more. 2200lbs and 155HP. Does one…

One fucking pokéball, no less.

Manual transmission drivers choose manual transmissions because they enjoy driving with a manual transmission, not because they are objectively superior. If you don't own one yet, just go ahead and buy a Toyota Prius, because your fallacy should dictate your actions and technology choices as much as you'd like to…

Also from Matthew.

And Pharisees came up to him and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful to divorce one's wife for any cause?" He answered, "Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife,…

I love Apple products but I hope this one flops. The lack of regular USB is questionable. The kinda-not-really Retina resolution is embarrassed by the iPad's resolution and PPI and form factor and weight. The iPad Air 2's tri-core A8X is about as powerful as the Intel Core M-5Y31 that is ostensibly powering the…

Chic-Fil-A doesn't have any beef either...

I'm not here to pick bones; but the Armageddon as you're writing about is a new concept comparative to other "eschatological" views You're talking about dispensational premillenialism, which is very popular in America for the last 100 or so years, but is not anywhere near the norm for the rest of Christianity. Check…

Wow that must be from an alpha or beta build. How I wish Blizzard wouldn't leave us WC fans out.

Indeed you caught my error.

My money went to the 256GB 840 Pro. I think the EVO is a better deal if you don't need top notch performance (I certainly didn't but the EVO wasn't available at the time). The Pro is still better IMO because it uses good ol' SLC, rather than MLC like the EVO does. SLC is better for performance in my experience but MLC…

Dropbox is the most useful to me. iCloud is OK but I tend to ignore it unless I'm trying to retrieve a photo or something like that. Onedrive is great except I use dropbox to share documents so it doesn't get as much use. Google drive is also great but I mostly just use it for large ISO storage just in case I ever…

Love Ira Glass. Thanks for covering this.

Well, I stand corrected. I concede and thank you.

Yes. And that made spirals, not straight lines. Similar concept.

Not the way this is designed, if you wanted to replicate as in the video with eight points. The concept is simple but a mechanical implementation would be complicated. That's what I was trying to say.

You would need everything on a complicated track underneath to give the illusion of centrifugal motion in such a way that each ball crosses the center once for every eight "rotations" of the engine that drives it. This may or may not work with a well planned lego set or construction kit of some kind. You'll be…

$17 on Amazon. Works great. Doesn't make my iPhone 5 slip when I put it there flat like it should be anyways. Doesn't block the charging cable. Fits just great on my dashboard. Because it can swivel, I usually have it at a right angle pointing towards me, then…

First off, I agree with you that it is simple to do. I never said it was a difficult chore. Second off, I never said that other OSes don't get infected, just that Windows is the most likely candidate because Windows is the most widespread operating system in the gaming world. Third off, I don't know what you're trying…

And you believe that the majority of swatters are actually going to use this method? I don't think so. I'll ignore your ignorant use of the word "retarded" and give you my thoughts on your advice.

1. Encrypt your outgoing data: ask any underage kid (who likely was the perpetrator) to do this.
2. Use a VPN that any…
