The test was run twice and the AI was released both times but the logs of the conversations weren't made public. Also all of the extra protocols weren't in place for either test meaning he could have bought the AI's…
I've only ever heard it sarcastically here in Australia.
To be fair this site has been around for years. Since 2006 according to whois.
I almost never shut it down. Probably only once a month. Waking from sleep is faster and I don't have to re-open my applications and documents. Shutting it down would save a small amount of power but that's rarely an…
AFAIK a 0-day exploit is an exploit that was found in the wild. No one previously knew about it and there's a scramble to fix it. In a week this exploit will be an "old 0-day exploit" because the "0-day" bit describes…
By 2050 the set of all verbs will be pared down to just "hacking" and "trolling".
The content posted on that Facebook page plays into the public stereotype of "programmer". Why would they think any of that would appeal to actual programmers? They must know some, someone had to make their site. It's…
I need glasses but rarely wear them. I'm happy watching 480p most of the time.
Ahhh, the ole' semicolon debate.
It's twisted but I always wonder the same thing. Why don't psychopaths "get" more people? If someone rings my doorbell I answer the door, I expect the person on the other side to be a rational human being. It wouldn't…
I dug it up and it's pretty juvenile http://theoatmeal.com/comics/peeing_sitting_down I sit to pee, just easier and it means I can take a leak at night without blinding myself with the lights.
I use dropbox a lot to send stuff to friends over IRC. Screenshots, save files, snippets of code. You can put up a HTML page that loads a SWF from your public folder, no worries. I have some music in there too and a…
Phys.org and sciencedaily.com can go too, but they rarely get posted here. They really clog up the science subreddits with wildly hyperbolic titles that get debunked in the first comment.
The specs page says the MBP has 2 ram slots, so it's the difference between 2x4gb and 2x8gb which is about 50 bucks here : http://www.msy.com.au/Parts/PARTS.pdf edit: But looking at the hardware pics it looks like it is…
I'm curious about this too. Use something like Tineye and check new Funnyjunk submissions against The Oatmeals image archive. Aside from the hardware it's a tiny amount of work for 1 human to monitor the results.
I can hear it now "Of course not, why would an ad company sabotage itself?". Wikipedia says Chrome is set to support the header by the end of this year (2012). Wikipedia's source:…
AFAIK just sell out and tank the price.
"If NaCl were widely adopted 5 years ago, the web would be much less accessible to mobile devices." I don't agree with this. From what I've read NaCl isn't even getting auto-run by default. It is not trying to replace…
Publicly they have stated that it's because they think JS is fast enough. I think that they have some private issues regarding a plugin controlled solely by their browser competitor who wants NaCl apps to be purchased…
It's fast, dynamic and easy to embed in a C/C++ game for scripting. The language itself is very simple to learn too.

That poster looks like it's advertising a cheesy sci-fi movie. It creeps me out.
Equating killing someone to using an old OS is a terrible straw-man argument.
Do you mean "can't go without"? Except for your second sentence you are praising StackOverflow.
You learn best when you get 7.5+ hours of sleep. I don't find that surprising at all.
