Most of these mods are just color changes and effect removals. Modding is awesome, but get off your high horse about 'fixing' the game.

It's much more common that your number was swiped or stolen, not the physical card.

Every few years, I buy from newegg.com. Every time my CC company flags and declines it and I have to call to clear it.

I rarely travel, perhaps a flight every few years. My card gets swiped at the airport check-in and the next day I see 10,000 in flight charges. I call and tell them they are fraudulent charges. I have to fight with them for weeks to get the charges removed.

I personally would like an app where charges over $500 require a 2-stage authorization. Just ping me and I'll be the final call, they can't decide what's fraudulent or not on their own.

I'm sure this future feels a lot closer in San Francisco.

Making a mod for minecraft is not the same as working with the game source code. They're making very small programs like "if it's block type 50 hit it with your axe". Looking at the source code for quake would not be nearly as accessible to learn basic programming concepts.

You must seriously be tripping balls. They aren't showing elementary school kids the source code for the games. They are using the games to teach programming concepts.

Oh, I just realized you were joking. Yes, I agree.

No, they mean "grit" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...

What year is it? I loved basic in 1990, but this is not the right technology to use today.

Why not just rebind back in history to a button that doesn't have such a high potential to accidentally lose your work in the wrong context?

slashdot, news for nerds, written by people who can't even html.

Or maybe just unhook backspace from "Back in History". Who the hell actually uses backspace to go back in history on a website?

Prepared statements, stored procedures.

As though they don't already know what your phone number is anyway.
