I'm on TWC and this fix with iptables just made a massive difference. Whether it's throttling or not, I'm very impressed with the results.

Wasn't at all surprising to me. Have they never heard of Warhammer 40,000?

Maximized on a 1080p monitor it was irritating with far too many internal scroll bars. Great list of commands though.

I've already gotten rid of the Metro start menu[1] (this is a dual screen desktop), and I've been very pleased with the results. Windows 8 is unsurprisingly superior at working out of the box with drivers, which I've enjoyed. I can't say

It made me laugh. I don't see it as an attack. Maybe against SaaS APIs, but that's it.

I can only imagine how pissed someone would be when they accidentally touch their phone or tablet with the wrong end of the Sharpie. Would rather put it on an actual pen than a permanent marker. Seems way too easy to make that mistake, si

>When I said "mature" games, I was referring to games with adult content, not the games where you can shoot/kill people. Find it interesting that sex is deemed more "adult" than murder.

The only thing keeping me on Windows is the games. If Steam was on Linux with a strong library to back it up, I'd switch right now.

"Seems like a misunderstanding" I'm not sure how you can come to that conclusion.

Tough to take their call seriously with the "Find us on Facebook" plugin directly to the right of their opening paragraph.

That's what makes EVE so much more interesting to me. There's only one server. The monthly fee can be earned in-game. The economy is tied to actual dollars because it's so reliable. There have been plenty of universe-spanning conflicts

I was never a "fundamentalist" or anything that could be described that, but I was strongly religious until about 17-18 years old. However, I always had a nagging problem with biblical stories because I was also a good student and had trou

"Where are the apps? Is... Oh. Are these all of the apps or some of the apps? Where are all of the apps?" Did you pick up someone else's phone? When you initialize an account for the first time (as someone who's done this a bunch with cust

Spent a lot of time nitpicking small issues, but he does pick it up with better points after the back button rant and latitude. The horrendous lack of support for landscape views, G+ photos being stuck in my gallery (with a Picasa icon on t

My exact thoughts. The quote for those who don't have access to watch the video: "Anonymous is a hornet's nest, and Barr said, 'I'm gonna put my penis in that thing.'"

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that. A bit on the large side...

I'm not sure how much sway that would hold, considering he explicitly set out to teach Samsung a lesson using the verdict.

Chrome seems to want to give preference to any random page I visited once rather than my bookmark. And the list is so short - if it's not in the ~6 items you just can't get to it. And you can't just trim the list like you would in Firefox

I'd say it's not necessarily the length of the school year but the size of summer break being several months. Teachers spend a lot of time getting kids back up to speed in the fall. Lengthening breaks during the school year and compensati

Because most Americans are unaware of how limiting content providers are once you connect from a non-US IP. A blunt dose of awareness would go a long way in helping people understand the situation. And it's not really their fault, either.

Half of the 512 MB is dedicated to video, IIRC.

Except my GS3 has one, and released on 4.0 with 4.1 due out very soon. The only phone I can think of that doesn't have that is the Nexus.

Linkbait? I'm pretty sure they do have a few buildings that are made of half styrofoam covered in plaster, and a bridge filled with garbage and covered in rebar and plaster.

Their math is off. $1bn is 20bn nickels. With a diameter of 21.21mm and height of 1.95mm, that's an area of about 689mm, assuming 800 for a lack of packing efficiency. 800 * 20,000,000,000 = 16 trillion mm^3, or 16,000 m^3. A high end du
