Age of consent is 14 in a bunch of countries, including Austria, Germany and Italy. In Spain, Argentina, Japan and South Korea it's 13. In practice though, there are several ways to prosecute people who take advantage of someone's youth to have sex with them even if they're over the age of...

While I realize I'm not the owner of photons bouncing off of my face, I will probably not frequent businesses and socialize with people who use these devices. It's just as rude as someone holding a phone in front of their face and recording everything.However, if they came out with a device that...

Tsk tsk Tom's. Salts should not be secret and are not supposed to be sitewide, but unique to each username.

Cookie cutter shooters. Like those EA sports games. In my opinion, currently the best PC shooter is Arma3, what you can do with its scripting language is amazing.

The scariest game moment for me - Shalebridge orphanage in Thief Deadly Shadows.

Really? They're not going to make their new browser exclusive to a sub 5% market share failed operating system? They're such visionaries!

Her brother or boyfriend probably helped her. I've been a programmer for 10 years and I don't know even one girl who can code worth a damn. If I get a CV from a girl, I just look her up on Facebook to see if she's hot.

I'm just interested in wearable displays. Instead of having a smartphone, and a tablet, and a 13" laptop and a multi-monitor desktop, I wish I could only make-do with a smartphone and glasses or whatever that turn my entire field of vision into a display. Integrate motion sensing into it, maybe...

Cool. I'd probably wouldn't use this in public unless/until it gets dramatically more useful, but I'm looking forward to wearable displays replacing all other kinds of displays one day.
