Same here.

5-6 years ago, I started a website/service (also closed, now) at the intersection of LinkedIn and GitHub. Then Microsoft bought the former. A few years passed, and they also bought the latter. It kind of justified my idea (not that those two services are being merged), but nonetheless I had to close my little initiative.

Can the latest usb be "defanged" to only provide power and no data, as a security measure? Or are they too smart for that, now?

I remember playing Tron (light-cycles!) against GA bots. There was thesis on it in 2001: http://www.demo.cs.brandeis.edu/papers/funes_phd.pdf

I felt there was one large flaw (which I explained at the time) since the experiment ran for a few years, computers kept improving. Problem was, the speed at which the game played accelerated along with cpu speeds. You needed quicker reflexes if your computer was faster. If there's anything to retain from this is, make sure the gameplay speed remains the same, whatever the hardware.

Utterly confused. Does this have anything to do with Creative Commons licences? That's what the articles calls it in its first and last sentences.

2nd RSS post today, and no mention of PubSubHubbub, aka WebSub? Or maybe it's just a low-level feature, not important enough? Strange days indeed.
