Yep, my steam turbines are going to fail earlier than I thought. Hate it when that happens

The fact that you stayed into Unity shows that you're lying and going to continue to stay.

The Year of Linux is finally here!

But it does leave a papertrail, the block chain.

...and I wouldn't trust any guarantee I received if I were in Snowden's situation. His best case scenario would be to find himself a nice country(read: not Russia) without an extradition treaty and negotiate his way there. The only way is if the president officially pardons him or he is convicted in absentia and the president commutes his sentence, but even then, they'll find something to stick on him, just like they used the IRS to take down gangsters and the mafia.

I'd say the tongue was firmly planted in cheek for the whole thing.

You don't see the humor in changing a hilariously bad kids show into a very serious adult movie? Satire, parody, and humor aren't just in the domain of chuckles.

Welcome to today, the same as yesterday, where another critical security flaw appears with Java

The only companies left standing after 20 years are those that use acquisitions to make up for the fact that successful innovation involves a lot of luck. Google, Microsoft, and Apple all use strategic acquisitions to enhance themselves. Do you think Google created Android, YouTube, and Google Maps/Earth? Do you think Microsoft created MS-DOS, Powerpoint, and Skype? Do you think Apple created iOS, OSX, and Final Cut Pro? All of those are final products that evolved from acquisitions. They are not home grown, yet they define massive parts of their corporate identities.

Number one sports website, number one fantasy sports website, well regarded finance site, Flickr and Tumblr are still going strong, Yahoo Mail is still near the top in active userbase, smart investments in foreign social/search companies, etc. They do pretty well for themselves, which is why they're still around

Brain drain wasn't about engineers, it was about culture. They want the Silicon Valley culture of being in-office tied-to-desk slaves. They got it.

Now, almost a year later, the project is back on track. Ptacek, a cryptography expert and founder of Matasano Security, will no longer lead the cryptanalysis and the effort will no longer be crowdsourced. Instead, phase two of the audit will be handled by Cryptography Services, a team of consultants from iSEC Partners, Matasano, Intrepidus Group, and NCC Group.

Are these auditors trustworthy? At least if it's crowdsourced it's an open process.

I enter the pin when I use it? Or I initialize the card with a pin when I get it and that creates some type of cipher key for encrypted transactions?

Rates are more or less unregulated. An individual under LA DWP pays less than an individual under SCE. SDGE has the highest rates in the nation. If I lived across the street in the next city, my rates would be much less(SCE rates rather than SDGE rates).
