Those companies that have kept running outdated IE versions will most likely still ignore upgrading. I've had a client upgrade their IE6 machines to IE8 just a few months ago. Even their own employees were frustrated with the old equip

The thing I like so much about it are the different civilizations, which come with their own unique language and music. It's a minor detail and helps a bit with the immersion, compared to just a simple paint job to differentiate betwee

I believe in Angular's case the changes from 1.x to the 2.x branch didn't help much either.

A client once had an issue where his account got compromised and everything pointed to having his actual login details leaked. His password was something like his username plus an assortment of random characters. It turned out that the syst

Costly? I was under the impression that this kind of overtime isn't compensated in a lot of cases? I've heard one reasoning that if they wouldn't do the (free) overtime, then there wouldn't be a company for them to work

There was a post here a while ago about s.o. coming to the US on a tourist visa asking to do volunteer work in return for a place to stay. I'm just curious if you've ever dealt with similar cases, where people came into the countr

"Please, don't re-use the same password to «fool» the robot while restoring your password — this will result in your account being vulnerable. Yes, several people have done that." Wow, this is the scariest part. You already h

I really hope this catches on, because there are places with more modern approaches on paper, but there's no way for the employee to make use of it without consequences.

Thank you for the additional information! My guess is that they would not fall under the 2. category if the spouse continues working, so that they may not be eligible for it then. The 1. category would not be an option for them, as they ar

The one thing that keeps bothering me with MAS updates is that you cannot see the download/install progress. It will show it at first, but then the progress bar indicator simply disappears after a short time. I have to close the App St

This is interesting, as I've heard the exact opposite from friends in Seoul. Is this a new law or s.th. tied to a specific income limit? Out of my group of friends, none of them were able to afford day care and had to make plans accord

There's a mildly amusing movie about the '70s Korean government's attempt to reduce population growth in a rural village: http://asianwiki.com/Mission_Sex_Control It shows some of the concepts that resulted i

Not only that but some online services add DRM to their media downloads, which can range from minor annoyance to being unable to play the legally obtained file. I've had the issue with a special edition movies set on iTunes, which prev

The theme directory is a common target for code injection, as it is often set with writeable webserver-user permissions, in order to allow the admin to use the backend theme editor. Almost all of the compromised accounts I've dealt wit

As a contractor, the fear is more on the client side than with the code. Coding problems can be resolved or worked around eventually, but the client can be a wildcard. In developer meet-ups I usually hear about coding issues like they are

Thanks, I was hoping this might be it and just checked, but those settings are already disabled in my account. I would report it as a bug if I knew what caused it or had a way to reproduce it directly, but it's just a stock error messa

I made the switch to iTunes on OS X after finding out that some of the international artists I was looking for actually had a decent catalog on iTunes. Nowadays it's more of a balance act between the features I like and the annoyances

This is an interesting point of view. I wasn't even aware of those fan creations. Having them available in audio log format would actually be quite neat. Maybe I'm too stuck thinking about it from a technical point of view, where

For me the grimoire cards were destroying the immersion, as you had to login to the website to be able to lookup information that could just as well have been presented in-game. It reminded me a bit of how RPG games of old used to have jour

I usually base it on the movie's stars, theme or genre, then read up its synopsis (short movie description on imdb or theater's website), and if it's less likely to have some kind of twist or I don't mind spoilers at the

I usually only check ratings & reviews after watching a movie, just to see what other people think about it. Seeing how easy it is to game such online ranking systems and how tastes can differ, not only on a personal level but also on t

Try switching from autocomplete while typing to autocomplete via keyboard shortcut and it may already make a big difference - this helped in my case with the php autocomplete slowdown.

If you're not 100% set on your current editor or would just like to see what else is available out there, then I'd recommend giving Atom a try. I'm using it as my main editor on an older 2010 Macbook Pro and the only issues I

This is just a wild guess, but the visible watermark could be the result of a legal issue. Having hidden tracking elements in such videos could require disclosing them, whereas a visible watermark could be used to argue that the viewer is a

The stories I've heard from friends & family working and living in Korea reflect exactly that. There's not just uncompensated overtime, but you're also expected to join up when it comes to company retreats. So, not only d
