    People Quitting Jobs, Walking off Cliffs, and Hit by Cars Playing Pokemon GO

    Happy for the guy who took the adventure, it is quite awesome indeed if it's his thing and he has enough savings to keep himself fed. The other three though. Beautiful, we need more games like this. Let the idiots rid the world of themselves, by their hands. Part of natural selection really...

    Twitter Changes Will Let You Retweet Yourself, Exclude Mentions From Character Limit

    Yeah, but then you have to implement workarounds for usernames, long uri's and so on. (Which means putting in some additional logic into the backend code to deal with them and making it less efficient that way.) Not to mention that English tends to have shorter words than, for example, Russian...

    Twitter Changes Will Let You Retweet Yourself, Exclude Mentions From Character Limit

    Gotta love tweeter: create a problem (140 character limit), then implement workarounds for it as features. Maybe, just maybe they should just drop that limit or make it reasonable to begin with?

    all of my base are blocked by the escapist :(

    Interesting, thank you very much. It probably didn't work because for my proxy I had to download the feed first and then grab it from my proxy server's http (cronjob with wget, so no caching). Until it was blocked today, that is. :) Wonderful, although I'm not really sure if dealing with each...

    all of my base are blocked by the escapist :(

    Well, a while ago, when I first joined, I have tried contacting them on that issue using that very form. To no avail, sadly. That's when I've started using a proxy server in DigitalOcean. Thank you anyway, I will make another attempt.

    Hello, dear Escapist. I've been a member of the Publisher's Club for a year and a half and enjoyed it very much so far. The news, the articles and even though LRR, Jim and MovieBob have left the Escapist, there is still enough content for me to keep supporting it. One of the reasons I have...

    Actually I was wondering too. Why so slow?

    Fast and Furious 6 Gets UK Movie Pirate 33 Month Jail Term

    It is not. Sadly, law around the world makes owning rights to a piece of content equal to owning an item. Yes, pirating is a crime, but for some reason copying and providing a copy will make one do more time than actual burglary in many cases. First, stealing means not only benefiting from...

    Fast and Furious 6 Gets UK Movie Pirate 33 Month Jail Term

    How on earth do they get those numbers? Liek... How do they know that this amount of people would instead go to the cinema to watch it? Most of them would probably ignore it if there was no pirated version anyway since they have no intention of paying for it to begin with.

    Malukah and Peter Hollens Release Gorgeous Civilization IV Cover Song

    This song is one of my most favourite soundtracks. I also love Christopher Tin's work, both his latest albums are beyond amazing. I also have got to admit while I'm not a big fan of Peter Hollens, this cover is perfect for what he does.
