   Well maybe their jobs could be saved by dedicating them to reliable tone production over TCP/IP. Ever try to access a mailbox or navigate a customer support call center through Skype?

   With Microsoft upping the free space requirements, are 32GB devices going to be abandoned? Upgrading a Stream 7 from Windows 8 to 10 will result in a shorter support lifecycle for people not willing to start from scratch installing the Anni

   I noticed in the privacy instructions that MS gives a setting to disable telemetry, but only on per project. So every time you open up a new project, it will be reporting on you until you (remember to) disable it.

   Thanks for bringing me up to date. (1st gen Chromecast)

   I'm talking about a filter, not calculations. And I'm so glad you mystically decided that your calculations were much more complex than whatever I was doing.

   Real men use PowerShell to edit their Excel files. :j edit: I did do this once, but it didn't scale to larger files. Also, it was the only option on those Windows RT Surface tablets.

   Exporting from and importing to Excel from CSV becomes a life-saver sometimes. Once upon a time, I had to work on a 200k by 50 line Excel 2007 spreadsheet on a IBM Core Duo laptop with only 1GB of RAM and XGA scren. It would take ten minute

    Shouldn't casting FLAC on Chrome to a Chromecast be a priority? I may be a curmudgeon, but I have way too many CDs in storage in those 80 litre Rubbermaid bins that I only ever see as FLAC files on the media server.

    /r/the_donald had the "sheriff star" still displayed several days after it hit the media. It's such thinly veiled hate speech. The tone of the denials hint to those who are anti-semitic that this will be their platf

    This just in, thieves steal cryptocurrency just like real currency. The "protocol related" is by far the most concerning of course.

    The irony of course is that jihadists seeking to burn down libraries will unwittingly desecrate copies of the Quran.

    Context: A full node is about 80GB right now. I deleted a full node just the other day that was 94GB, but that had a lot of cruft. Storage is most definitely not an issue unless you're trying to run a full node on your laptop SSD.

    Or anybody who thinks purchase of the hardware alone entitles them to the content advertised. Who hasn't heard, "Where's Word and Excel on my new laptop?" (not 1:1 but close enough)

    Pshaw, Toughbooks. Real men use Dolch. (A friend had green screen version of one of these that came from Israel. He wrote his essays on it.) http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/32672/Dolch-PAC-486/ As for

    And why is the person making amends? Shouldn't that be taken into consideration? If they're only saying sorry to take advantage of you again?

    No it doesn't. That's like arguing it was okay to cheat on your wife because of the state of the relationship. It's a douche thing to do either way.

    I've worked for an employer that has wanted me to do illegal things on their behalf w.r.t. payroll 'tweaking'. Refusal to do these things was causing lots of friction and so I did the prudent thing and quit. I've touched

    Possible benefit. Less chance of food poisoning over real meat? If a cow has a soul it has been clearly exorcised in most fast food beef patties by the lengths they go to to make them safe. Humorous but relevant: https://vimeo.co

    Has anyone experienced poor usability if they search their own city? Load up the VPN and suddenly it works? I have a suspicion that airbnb likes to prevent airbnb strata-enforcers from searching the site.

    GOG had a promotion where they would add (some of the) games that you already owned on your Steam account to your GOG library. Hopefully they continue that. If I have a game on GOG or Steam, I'm more likely to use Steam, unless I'

    In fact, I still don't see much of a reason to upgrade quad core Yorkfield Q9xxx servers except for cheap SSD upgrades. An 8 year old desktop still compares favorably to a $700 laptop (except, of course, for electricity).

    It looks like almost everything in this bundle is available on O'Reilly Safari. Still worth it.

    Homonyms? Vertical addressing? So do you live at peak.pique.peek, or peak.peek.pique? Or is it... What floor? Oh, you're on the top floor? So you leave on the peak of pique.peak.peek?
