Free previews were too expensive, so they're offering as part of a pay per use hosting service?
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

These bots are able to learn and express emotions, and will sell for just under $2,000, with the company believing they’ll be able to serve as babysitters, medical workers or just general companions, all key roles in a market (Japan) where there’s an aging population. Who needs friends when you can have robots!

At 2k, all I want to know is can it operate a normal vacuum and mop? Would be cheaper than one of those roomba things.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

A researcher has uncovered another severe vulnerability in the OpenSSL cryptographic library. It allows attackers to decrypt and modify Web, e-mail, and virtual private network traffic protected by the transport layer security (TLS) protocol, the Internet's most widely used method for encrypting traffic traveling between end users and servers.

GitHub is an important place, where open source software code is submitted, branched, tweaked, and shared. It is also a playground, where software developer Steve De Jonghe has created a project simply called "Banner." I bet he also used to spell naughty words on his calculator

I saw a URL today on Twitter to an article on Slate.com. It was a custom short URL - http://slate.me/1h0svt8 but since I was visiting it via Twitter, it was wrapped with Twitter's t.co URL, so I really started at http://t.co/sxSvcJnT2L.
When I visited it for the FIRST time, I got this lovely HTTP interaction. That's SEVEN HTTP 301s, count them, 7, before I get to the destination page.
Let's make that shortened URL shorter. And Cookies. Everyone loves Cookies.
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

If Twitter hadn't imposed their pointless 140 character limit there would be no need for URL shortners in the first place.

I(f twitter did not have the 140 character limit it would not be twitter.
I'd rather be phishing!

I'm thinking there needs to be a new world record set for the most number of sequential redirects from iteratively shortened URL's.

I hate shortened URLs: where will they lead my browser to?
True, also "good" URLs can harbor malware, but shortened URLs are even more dangerous.

Chrome resolves them for you, if you hover above the link long enough.

The agency has put out a work tender looking for a software system to analyse social media data. The software should have, among other things, the "ability to detect sarcasm and false positives". You don't say.

I must confess, I'm relieved
There are two kinds of people in the world: those who separate humankind in two distinct categories, and those who don't.
No sarcasm has been harmed during the establishment of this signature.
