I don't actually have much of a problem with this. Lying to a suspect as part of an investigation isn't infringing anyone's civil liberties, unless they lie about specific things, such as telling a suspect lies about their ri

Is the driver situation any better in Bootcamp for Nvidia than AMD? Bootcamp's drivers for the AMD 6750 in my late 2011 MBP were usually many versions behind, meaning some games it had the specs to handle wouldn't even run, and th

For click and drag, don't use your index finger to both keep the button depressed AND move the pointer. On a regular trackpad you'd click the left button with index finger and move the pointer by moving middle finger over the trac

Usually I don't find myself clicking on my Macbook trackpad anyway. I usually just tap, plenty of precision that way, plus OSX tends to have larger click targets than Windows and lots of gestures (especially with BetterTouchTool) that

I'm pretty sure the 'Half-Blood Prince' thing is supposed to sound racist in-universe, as that's someone of mixed heritage (magic and non-magic) referring to himself self-deprecatingly in a universe where racism against

Even assuming 2 is a good idea, I have no idea how that could be implemented. A major desirable property of a good password hashing algorithm is that slightly differing inputs should produce wildly differing hashes, and the login authentica

Regular employee is different from contract, as contractor's taxes will be (much) higher and you have benefits such as health insurance included in your salary. I bet that $41/hr as a regular employee goes a lot farther than $50&#

I don't see this article actually supporting the assertion that career fairs are declining. In the technical majors at my school (UMass Amherst class of '14), they were the first steps to getting internships and jobs for almost ev

But then that goes back to funkyy's point: there may be lots of unexpected things developers can do with it, but none of them so far are things customers care about. Atmospheric modeling? Really cool! Do customers care? Heck no.

I'm betting some combination of procedural generation and scanning tech a la Kinect will start taking a lot of the workload off the artists. This has already begun to some extent, with many if not most AAA titles using procedural gener

And fortunately in most use-cases, we'd prefer a spacecraft to have more upload bandwidth to Earth than download bandwidth from Earth. The largest data NASA would send to the craft would probably be software updates, megabytes or a few

It's not Chrome's fault Apple doesn't put a middle button on their mice like everyone else. Though personally I prefer 3-finger tap to using buttons at all on a PC laptop trackpad. Even if Chrome always opened external links
