Lot of posts on twitter saying their orders were cancelled. @Lenovo_Canada said the problem was supposed to be fixed hours ago. Edit: Someone made a change.org petition http://www.change.org/en-CA/petitions/lenovo-

The F2P game "Path of Exile" (similar to Diablo) does everything on the server and it causes so many problems that you need to avoid certain character skills that are more prone to causing desync issues between server and client.

Those statistics are pretty useless because you set what platform your contribution goes towards. You could pay 1$ on Linux and set it as Windows. It would be better if we could see price paid vs. platform the game was downloaded for.

The whitelist feature isn't the issue here. You have always been able to whitelist sites in the "Custom Filter > Exceptions." The issue here is the addition of a built in whitelist subscription to a list controlled by the

My university had similarly bad security practices. Although not accessible as plain text, the social security number was used when you wanted to change personal information. For example to reset your university email account you needed the

My point was that x isn't always better than y. And in the case of turbine blades, monocrystalline is the way they are made. On the topic of forged turbine blades, the oriented strength of the resultant blade _is_ the advantage of using for

I guess I shouldn't have used such a strong word like "causes this" since the article was more about the force field and not the source of the ionized air. The point is that if the tape spool can create such a strong field then there is mor

Here is some more information on the phenomenon that causes this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triboluminescence The most interesting section is how UCLA researchers created such powerful results that they were able to x-ray fingers. http

I'm sure they don't care about people who just loaded up the home page. They are more than likely after the IPs that downloaded the files that are posted on the site (maybe they will try to tie them back to IPs used to acces PSN?)

I wish they would make it so that addons and plugins can only be installed inside Firefox (via addons.mozilla.org, File > Open or exceptions for trusted sites.) I have seven plugins listed and I only installed two of them. 2007 Micr

Personally I look at it like this. While I'm not physically 'stealing' their product, I am still profiting by not paying X amount for its use. As an example, imagine if you are planning on purchasing a copy of Photoshop at $1000 but before

When the Intel Macs were initial released there was a contest to install Windows XP on it natively (before bootcamp was even announced.) Enough people donated to the prize pool that the winner walked away with 14,000 dollars.

Does anyone have any sales statistics comparing volume of iPods purchased from apple.com to volume of iPods purchased at retail (including Apple retail stores since they don't offer engraving?) Because even if what he is saying is true I do

To expand on this. It is illegal in Canada for anyone without a proper engineering degree to call themselves an engineer. For example a computer scientist cannot call themselves an engineer while a computer or software engineer could.

If OneNote is anything like Word you can use LaTeX notation once you are inside an equation environment (Alt + =). For example in Word typing Alt + = \int^1_2 \sum^x_(x+1) \ge \sqrt(25) Would produce exactly what you would get in LaTeX. You
