Not every article has to be a profound, life-changing one :)

You are right, I misread. Thanks for pointing that out :)

I would think that if the attacker had access to a Dropbox employee's account, which in turn gave him/her access to user accounts, that would constitute a security breach.

It appears that the attacker had a list of stolen emails and passwords from other compromised sites, so your Dropbox account would probably be safe.

In this case it wouldn't have helped, because the intruder apparently had access to a Dropbox employee's email account. EDIT: Disregard what I said, apparently the attacker had access to the Dropbox e…

>You need to temper any goals you have with maturity and realism. I'm a terrible basketball player, but I'm sure if I spent 1hr/day every day playing pickup for 1 year, by the end of a year, I'll…

Poisonous environments make for highly-rated reality shows.

With business, your innovation absolutely has to turn a profit. This means that important research with less potential profit will die out, e.g. malaria and tuberculosis treatments. It is for this rea…

Could the smaller projects have the expertise and resources to discover something like the Higgs-Boson? Centralization of resources is not necessarily a bad thing.

My heart goes out to the victims and their families of the Aurora incident. However, "Aurora" as a name is simply too common to be replaced.

To be fair, it's not just hackers - geneticists, nuclear physicists, pretty much most scientists have been portrayed in a negative light in the media.

"There is so much competition in the mobile space right now. Yes, iOS and Android have the lion’s share of the market, but there’s also RIM OS, Windows Phone, Tizen, Ubuntu, Bada, Symbian, Brew, WebOS…

Instead of being restricted to Obj-C or Java, you'd be restricted to HTML/CSS/Javascript. I'm not sure which is better honestly.

"given that Apple has a habit of changing things." Apple doesn't have a habit of changing things. If anything, I feel that Apple is too conservative when it comes to making changes.

Where are you getting pagan themes? Seems like a straightforward attempt to get the government to officially acknowledge an important in scientific history.

The lack of a schedule I can understand, but Stack Exchange has no testers?!

Their cost/risk analysis plays out. If the new patch somehow introduced a new bug, it's going to cost them yet another large amount of money to fix it. And if you say "well just make sure the new patc…

If you mean you want to run Python scripts in an iOS app, there is no way. The closest is to use an app called Python for iOS, but it can't execute .py files.

It's Cmd + T in Mac OSX, hence the confusion.

"But from a practical perspective OO is a great idea because it makes many things so much easier." This seems true at first, but after having worked with C# a while I'm not so sure about that. OO intr…

In Malaysia's case, it's more because of the way race and by association religion is split almost 50-50 among the local population. The result is that Malaysia has a large enough non-Muslim population…

"An appealing theory that gets frantically upvoted may have well-understood but non-obvious drawbacks." I'm reminded of the quote, "To every problem there is a solution that is simple, elegant, and wr…

I can't speak for other countries, but for Malaysia, that sentence alone probably won't get the app into any trouble. I have a feeling this is a case of somebody at Microsoft erring too much on the si…

Malaysian here. We do have a large, extremely devout conservative demographic here, so I can see why Microsoft would choose to be on the safe side. Plenty of foreign artistes were banned from holding …

I personally wished Powershell came preinstalled with Windows. Windows' native terminal is really horrible (try running a FOR loop!).

I'm guessing those companies have been burnt so much by fake qualifications that they simply choose to ignore them.

Ex-employee of Accenture here. Accenture basically earns most of their money selling horrendously overpriced "solutions" to customers who don't care about cost. The thing is, the bureaucracy that you …

Templates wizards aren't exactly a new thing...

How many have you tested?

This explains the popularity of the iPhone and the iPad right?
