Wouldn't have taken too much effort to confirm or deny the story. The poster's SO profile is here: http://serverfault.com/users/251721/bleemboy That lists twitter and github accounts. The github account

Sadly, although this would seem to be a bonus for the environment, I don't think it is. A lot of people have been tempted into buying diesels based on the claimed fuel consumption and emission figures. I was one of them. However, un

There is just no upside to this kind of response. Surely for any tech company that has reached a certain size, the only workable approach is to recruit an appropriately sized security team and politely welcome and respond to each and every

According to Wikipedia her kid is less than 1 year old. It's tricky to involve them in your interests at that age :) I can just about get my 5 year old interested, but my 2 year old is more keen on pressing the off button on my laptop

It's hard to appreciate unless you get to hold one in your hand and play with it. The phones are exceptionally well made - not just robust but well crafted. The sound reproduction from the external speakers is pretty amazing too - I'd quite

This is an excellent method for lighting milk powder sprinkled through a sieve from, e.g. the top of a spiral staircase. Makes an impressive fireball.

This is a great feature but is older than GMail. Lotus Notes mail for instance allowed the same mail to appear in different views, including an "all documents" view that had, as you might expect, everything in it. This advance was rather l

I did a fair amount of real world Lua a few years ago. This issue did start to bother me after my codebase grew. It is fairly easy to work around, mainly due to the very powerful metaprogramming facilities in Lua. See http://lua-users.org/

I will always try and see the 2D version of any film, but here in the UK at the moment the 2D versions don't show at as many screens or times as the 3D one.

I think if I was unaware of the technology behind this then even if you had come up to me and patiently explained it I would probably not have changed my behaviour. Until it is explained in the mainstream press or until a wide scale "fuss"

The money is not the only factor that can make it a wash. The practicalities of where suitable day care is located and the hours they operate mean that for many people returning to work just isn't an option, even if you can afford it. My wi

Purely anecdotal but when on site at Nokia and Sony Ericsson >5 years ago it seemed that nearly everyone used the wired headset so I started too. More recently I don't see that as much.

tl;dr Canonical have a H.264 license agreement, but that doesn't mean Ubuntu users are covered by it. You're only covered if you buy some hardware that comes with Ubuntu AND the hardware manufacturer explicitly tells you that they have lice

Except that these particular bunnies are culled from parks in Stockholm - probably not the sort of place that game hunters would like to go, nor somewhere that people using the parks would like to come across hunters doing their thing.

Are you sure the ZX81 he was using didn't have a 16Kb ram pack attached? Most people I know (me included) had one, since it was hard to do anything without it.
