    Gamers Are Redefining What a Saturday Night Out Is About

    I actually just had to pleasure of finding Battle & Brew in Atlanta. Basically spent the weekend there. I've been to a cafe in the past and frankly it was lame. Badly lit and wreaked of BO and hot pocket farts. It was the stereotypical scene of what you'd expect of a gamers social environment...

    Chicago Mayor Calls For National Computer Coding Requirement In Schools

    Unfortunately my kid is in a public school. As a junior i asked him to help with a project and told him he would need to use excel. We're not talking coding here, but he is a junior in high school and has no idea what excel is. Thats ridiculous. There needs to be more tech in schools. Thats the...

    Well after some debate at the office, the consensus is that if it weren't for the Nazi's the Germans would still be able to hate openly. See thats what you get.

    Facebook Pledges To Combat Racism On German Platform

    So, in other words. While the country is taking on a few hundred thousand refugees from Syria and the middle east, the people of Germany are not allowed to say anything against the influx of refugees and are thus silenced as their dissent is racist and xenophobic. Nice censorship you got there.

    President Pushes For More Diversity In Tech

    Diversity? Is this a joke? Maybe he should listen into my conference calls. I would assume its the same for many of you others in the industry. Well at least in telecom its extremely diverse. PM's are all women. Dev is all H1B. QC is all H1B. So will this never be satisfied until my job is...

    The US Army Wants Invisibility Cloaks Within 18 Months

    So what country will manufacture this for us? And then in turn make the cheaper knockoffs for the rest of the world to get and then level the playing field. Then once field tested, you know law enforcement will have to have it to fight the cartels that already have it. And if LEO has the ability...

    Teens Texting And Driving Even Worse Than We Thought

    As a parent with a 16yo trying to get his license to kill this is probably my number one concern. Its bad enough all the other reasons that they can be distracted and then all the stupid stuff teenagers do, add a screen distraction and now its so much worse. I've thought about the OBD2...

    Governor To Decide If Tesla Can Restart Sales In New Jersey

    Yeah what we need is another dealership chewing up good real estate and driving up the prices of all the surrounding land. And i dont know about where the rest of you all live, but over here, the dealership rows tend to decay the area around them.

    Ex-GM CEO Says Apple Would Be Crazy To Make Cars

    Being apple you can pick any color so long as its white. Not gonna hate on that. I am sure it will be very over priced. But people will buy it. Question would they still put the apple sticker on the back window if it already has it as a hood ornament? Now speaking of Tesla, arent they having...

    Bill Targets Pornography Viewing On Government Computers

    Is the NSA excluded from reviewing sexting images in this bill? Now as far as being stupid and blaming sides. Since money it taken from my pay check which i have worked hard for, by force with threat of imprisonment, I would prefer that they watch porn and jack off on their own time. Unless its...

    Government Criticizes Cable Companies For Cashing In On Data Caps

    I wish. My home is all streaming based on game downloads. Since my billing rolled over on 12/1, I'm at 37GB. Past 3 months have been over 400GB in data which is way over my 300GB data cap. So i'm being hit with multiple "threshold" charges at this point.

    AAA Game-File Sizes Are Getting Out Of Hand

    Again, here i need to make my point out how these are bad for data caps. For me using the sizes mentioned in above, 50GB game + 40GB day one patch == 1/3 my monthly cap. Save them from printing media, but pay more on the back end for more GB.

    HBO To Start Selling On The Web Next Year

    Verizon Pays $7.4M To Settle FCC Privacy Investigation

    $7.4M goes to the FCC as they are found in some sort of violation. What is the FCC to do with that money? Apply to the national debt? Doubt it. Why is it just $7.4M? Why stop there? I'd like to know how much they made off of selling this information. That should be the fine. Every cent they...

    92% Of PC Game Sales Were Digital In 2013

    Netflix Pays Up, but Verizon Keeps On Throttling Traffic

    Its probably all because Verizon wants to push RedBox streaming in place of Netflix, as I am sure they get some coin from that partnership.

    Charge Your Electronics Before Boarding

    Wasnt it our CIA that trained the Taliban on how to make explosives? In either way, there is nothing that will work 100%. Perhaps some day the TSA can provide TSA approved travel smocks issued at the security checkpoint, no carry ons, and you would be contained in your own compartment for the...

    FTC: T-Mobile Profited From Bogus Fees

    AT&T made 10mill one year for overcharging a regulatory recovery fee. Mind you it was only betwee $2-3 a year per subscriber of which they only had to pay the gov between 1-2 per sub. So whats the big deal. Everybody does it.

    Verizon Interested in Buying Dish Network’s Spectrum

    Forgive my spectrum ignorance here. So we have these spectrums all around us used and unused. Massive entities draft paperwork and submit to agency for the purchase of that spectrum. Entity decides not to use that spectrum and parks it for what appears indefinitely. I know there are some...

    FCC To Investigate Netflix-Verizon Spat

    Hmmm, i wonder how many former Verizon & Comcast execs will be heading up this investigation. This will likely be a battle with purses. Problem is Netflix has a coin purse vs numerous duffel bags for the other two.

    NSA Tool Collects 'Nearly Everything You Do On The Internet'

    How many of us have been asked to run queries on data on a platform once other departments know of what data that platform collects? So now that the capability exists and the data is there, the inbound requests will start to increase. Sure nothing malicious in my industry, but its the nature of...

    Google Doodle of Caesar Chavez Lays an (Easter) Egg

    Your a moron and obviously a minority of sorts with the typical chip on the shoulder. People like you need dictators in order to achieve anything as you cant under your own gumption. I'm curious what influence Chavez had to help propel Google to where it is today.

    Rewritten Senate Bill Allows For Warrantless E-Mail Search

    I cannot wait for the day when they decide to ban all violent games as they pose a threat to the civil society. Perhaps that will get some of the geeks here up in arms whining about where their rights have gone.

    Get [H]ard with a free year of Playboy

    Even a geek can appreciate an analogue from time to time. Only 1 more left on my free sub. Honestly, not all the impressed with Playboy. Its just a name at this point. Or maybe I'm just desensitized by all the free porn.

    UNIX / LINUX command

    Yeah, date and error on two lines makes this much harder than it needs to be. Also if possible changing the date time format would make this much easier as well. Ex: Jan 12 23:28:22 ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified $ grep ^*23:*ORA- Or better yet...

    Single Touch Goes After Hulu on Patents

    What a bunch of bS. So if a group of my friends wanted to start a similar service in our basement would we then have to pay off these goons? And for what, they havent done squat compared to what Netflix has done. Even though Netflix is taking a turn for the worse in my opinion.
