> Users who do "Ctrl-S" to do fast save are certainly a minority. My first reaction: How else do you save?! You mean you actually take your hands off the keyboard, and click the floppy icon in a toolbar? Or even.. click on File

It's about intent. If they can prove you manufactured data you fed to the dongle, then you're probably in for some trouble. However, you can have a similar scenario where maybe I work at an office 5 minutes from home over the time

It's not just the visuals either - they have a bunch of the apps down really really well. Finder, Calculator, Calendar, the top menu, etc. All really spot on. I'm playing around in it still. Managed to find my way to the Terminal,

It's just good security practice. Even if the code path is never intended to be executed, there are bugs in code that could lead to it. Yes, it's a P2P protocol, but when you're managing a bunch of servers, you don't use

There is still a lot of crypto out there that works off of using the current timestamp as a seed. Being able to control he time could theoretically let you control any PRNGs that rely on it.

IBM has its place, especially in the big enterprise. However, more and more I'm seeing that's not the case. Working for a big insurance co., we're seeing a big shift toward a "devops-like culture", and a lot of the

The Python script is a bit unnecessary. Go to System Preferences > Spotlight. Uncheck items you don't like to have searched and displayed for you.

Think about the user experience. If switching, a user no longer has to wait on delivery of a small physical item from the new carrier. The user doesn't have to fiddle with a paperclip to pop out the SIM. (Average user could be scared t

I think it's partially because of the negotiations with the Tolkein estate that the movies turned out as great as they were. If no negotiations were needed, then anyone could have picked up and done a low-budget adaptation and called i

> We currently have < 1% opt outs. I have a feeling this may be because even "Close Buttons" on ads have a reputation for being untrustworthy. I've drilled it into the heads of all of my not-so-computer-savvy relatives

Because your entire post reads like an ad for Spoon Studio. Also, what does "Nowhere in 'docker run -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash' does it say something about LXC." even mean? Docker is built upon LXC features. It n

But see, that all falls apart when you say: > "there should be a way for the SMTP/IMAP server to notify the client and remove it." As long as the protocol requires the client to obey a command to delete, it's not goin

Is your iPad permanently hooked up to your TV? Many people have rather large HDTVs and would much prefer to watch on there rather than on a tiny screen you have to carry around or dock somewhere.

I find the "well then just pay your taxes" answers to be on the same level of "well if you have nothing to hide...". You can be a honest and tax-paying citizen of society and still get audited. There's always the ch

IE8 is a problem because many big enterprises still run it. I know of several big US corporations that, even though they run Windows 7 now, still deploy it with IE8 for compatibility with legacy applications. Once you start dealing with big

Which if I recall correctly, turned out to be untrue. Shortly after it came out there were hacks that would let you spoof EA's servers or remove the need all together and play locally with only minor features disabled.

I think you missed this part: > The Core lets you do your own socket programming over TCP and UDP. There's nothing stopping you from writing your own TCP/UDP listener server and having the Spark write to a port on that.

As long as you keep doing that, you are supporting that type of IAP behavior. You have no one to blame but yourself.

Why is Amarok something you would dismiss it on? Sure, they butchered it up in version 2.0 and above, but I've always felt version 1.4 was probably the best library manager I've used.

I think it depends on what your end goal is. Are you trying to scale and hide the pixel-ness of the original? The "ours" does pretty darn well, especially if you look at the Boo example as mentioned above. However, if you're

Quick tip on the video: I felt it moved a little too quickly. I tried keeping up with the text, and it seemed to get pulled away from me as I was about 2/3rds through each time. At the end I was slightly dizzy :/
