stiles··on I Owe It All to Community College
He never states he is bad at math. It sounds like to me he was much more interested in subjects like art, literature and film. Which, given his career makes a lot of sense.
stiles··on Son of Stuxnet
Really? Even if the malware was nearly identical to that of a previously found malware that was presumably used by a government on government attack? But whatever, seems you are more mad at windows than any sensationalism in the article.
stiles··on Mapping the Spread of Drought Across the U.S
Exactly. The recent drought on the west coast can be attributed to a very massive high pressure system sitting off the coast deflecting away much needed rain storms. http://www.mercurynews.com/science/ci_24904396/california-dr... --- Is this "resilient ridge" caused by global warming/climate change? Haven't seen any evidence that links the two yet. If El Nino doesn't produce a very very wet this winter, then a lot of change will be coming to the west.
stiles··on Brendan Eich Steps Down as Mozilla CEO
Please remember that part of the reason many voted in favor of Prop 8 was because of the amount of money raised in donations allowed a massive ad campaign that was full of lies and deceit.
stiles··on Happy ending: @N has been restored to its rightful owner
Is this honestly the first time you are hearing the term social engineering? If it is, I don't think you will be able to claim that on a resume since you probably haven't practiced it much.
stiles··on You can no longer just leave Syracuse airport [video]
This looks like a giant PITA for people with small children or anyone escorting someone with a handicap.
stiles··on Etymology of “dude” is traced to "doodle," as in Yankee Doodle Dandy
Dudine is my new favorite word. I think it has a very pleasant sound when used as a greeting.
stiles··on In California, a Champion for Police Cameras
The Verge had a really good article covering Taser, the company producing these cameras as well as the police departments using them. http://www.theverge.com/2013/4/5/4162478/tasers-axon-flex-co...

I just find it interesting that Police departments are now looking to record every interaction on video when in the past these exact Police departments (Oakland, LA + Rialto) have been very hostile to any citizen using a recording device.
