  1. Re:Advantage over other source hosting services? on Github Finally Agrees Public Repos Should Have Explicit Licenses · · Score: 1

    The 5 user limit before paying is for private repositories only. There are public repositories (Example: https://bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg/overview ), although their homepage definitely doesn't do the best job explaining this.

  2. Re:Use of Stack Overflow != Bad Documentation on Developers May Be Getting 50% of Their Documentation From Stack Overflow · · Score: 1

    I agree completely. MSDN and other API references are just that: references. They are for looking something up when you already know enough about what you're doing. IE: I know how to use a Map in C++, so I look up the equivalent in C# and then look at the MSDN documentation for Dictionary and see the name of the various methods it implements. I don't want to read an entire tutorial on using C# Dictionaries just to learn the API.

    It is basically a 10 foot UI for Steam that is Xbox controller friendly. It's been in beta for a while, you can activate it by clicking the shiny button at the top of your Steam window. (If you have a custom Steam theme, you may have to disable it to see the button. If you don't have access to Steam right now and just want to know what it looks like here are screenshots of the start menu and the games library

  6. Re:So Sad on Young Students Hiding Academic Talent To Avoid Bullying · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So since people can't accept that there are people smarter than them, the smart people should be punished? That is extremely stupid, the school system in America is already holding back kids who excel as it is.

  7. Re:How does he afford $400 million? on Kim Dotcom's Next Venture: Free Broadband To New Zealand · · Score: 5, Informative
    RTFA:

    "Dotcom plans on getting the majority of his funds by suing Hollywood studios and the US government for their 'unlawful and political destruction of [Megaupload].'"

  8. Glub glub glub on New York Data Centers Battle Floods, Utility Outages · · Score: 1

    I thought it was standard procedure to teach servers to swim these days.

  9. Re:Concerning on Obama Administration Wants Your Old Email · · Score: 1

    Or even people who tell POP3 clients to leave messages on server as an extra backup or who have multiple clients downloading from the same POP3 server. This law's short-sightedness is unacceptable...
