Re:How to find a remote job on Wednesday August 02, 2017 @10:51AM (#14910993)
Wouldn't the ideal be to keep working at the existing job, rather than quiting and looking for 6 months?

I've found an image, which i'm guessing it taken from the site: http://imgur.com/IEudyni, worth looking at if the sites still down.

> They even added a 2D bouncing Pong-style picture of an airplance on the front page, which probably got someone a promotion as that's particularly special.

Which is especially fun on mobile.

Re:CShell: A simple, yet powerful, C# scripting IDE on Friday May 09, 2014 @07:43AM (#7720305)
I want this, but with nuget support. LinqPad seems about the best option, but i don't need all the SQL/Database stuff that comes with it.
I was banned a long time ago, it was just before my 2nd payout. My guess is they just do the verification of the account before the payout, rather then just randomly throughout the cycle.
Re:Introducing Bing Code Search for C# on Tuesday February 18, 2014 @05:50AM (#7257444)
I just tried the web demo and loved it, so added it to visual studio, but now it works different. I really liked the /// search term [tab] idea.

Now i have to [ctrl] + [space], click on how do i, then search. Is there an easier keyboard only way like your web example?

Re:Overstock.com Is Now Accepting Bitcoins on Friday January 10, 2014 @05:09AM (#7035940)
So I wonder if anyone from the US could let me know, i'm from the UK and just tried to make a purchase it bitcoin, but I only get the option for CC, debit cards and paypal, no bitcoin.

So is this US only?

To be fair to them, the first 5 steps is just about getting a domain and server hooked up.

From the study[1] here is an image[2] of the comparison between flying, gliding and resting.

Edit. Its a shame there no technical details of the sensor, I'd be interested in seeing how a device like this kept functioning over a year.

Ah I was unaware that Rads meant absorbed radiation.
I was a bit confused as well, would it be that the skin is a good barrier to the radiation, so most would be deflected away, meaning you would only 'absorb' a very small amount?
Doesn't really paint it in a good light though. Having to fight to buy one, struggling to get home even though it said it had enough range, not being able to use the heater.
I've been paid as part of their white hat program, $4.5k doesnt seem that high compared to what i was paid for my 'exploit'. I picked up $1k for finding a bug in their event invitations, a user could add friends to a private event when using a mobile phone.

The fact that his exploit was getting actual private data from people, i'd of thought he'd of been paid more. Thats not to say $4.5k isnt a lot of money, its a very nice reward.

Re:Millennium Challenge 2002 - military simulation on Tuesday March 12, 2013 @09:50AM (#5361755)
I'm guessing that alot of it was real, but stuff like cruise missile strikes would just be simulated due to the cost/risk.
