  1. What the? on Justified: Visual Basic Over Python For an Intro To Programming · · Score: 1

    Pure C is the simplest language ever, and the most instructive one.

  2. Isnt it weird? on Apple Denies Systems Breach In Photo Leak · · Score: 2

    That we use secure 2 factor authentication for our World of Warcraft accounts but we don't for important stuff like iCloud stored nudies?

  3. How did she get these figures? on Cable Boxes Are the 2nd Biggest Energy Users In Many Homes · · Score: 4, Informative

    Just measured my old Scientific Atlanta box (that actually looks just like the ones in the article's pictures).

    I get 8 Watts while running, 0.9 Watts in standby. It slightly peaks when I switch channels.

  4. Nifty but not impressive on Microsoft Demos Real-Time Translation Over Skype · · Score: 1

    As someone who works in the field of machine translation, I find this to be a nifty feature, but not that all impressive. Its just a text-to-speech, speech recognition combined with the shitty bing translate. Will work for general conversation, but probably completely breaks down on field specific conversations. They could also demo other language pairs, as english and german is the easiest pair to machine translate from one another, and are two of the easiest languages to apply speech recognition and text-to-speech to.

  5. And here I am... on This Is Your Brain While Videogaming Stoned · · Score: 1

    Reading this article, atl-tabbed in between 2 battlegrounds, hitting up the bong at 1AM

  6. Could it simply be related.... on Continued Rise In Autism Diagnoses Puzzles Researchers, Galvanizes Advocates · · Score: 1

    To the fact that people wait longer until they conceive, and several studies have data that shows that having children after one of the parent is older than 35 years old increases the probability of having an autistic child?

  7. AFAIK.... on Microsoft Releases Free Edition of OneNote · · Score: 1

    No code source release, therefore not free.
