I have used pretty much all MS operating systems as well, except windows 10, and I remember how windows XP felt "too colourful and distracting" when it first came out (with those very bright green grassy hills wallpaper, along wit

I actually bought one two weeks ago after my 6 years old smartphone died. I still haven't picked it up (shipped it to the US, getting there next week only), but it arrived at my friend's house with no problem. From all I read befo

I didn't have the guts to deal with all the possible legal problems that an exit relay could spawn, and no lawyers I could find could help me with that question. I suggest you run a non-exit relay instead, like I did for almost a year

Thank you for talking to Peter and sharing this. For those interested in more, Blake (the co-author from the book) took Peter Thiel's CS183 class in Stanford, and has class notes freely available on his blog (the notes generated the id

I agree with you that startups in Brazil should focus on the internal market first. But Rudi also has a point that for many of the startups here, very few look past Brazil's borders, loosing relevance and being exposed to external comp

The thing is that what makes Minecraft strong is its community, unlike Halo. You won't see Minecraft succeeding at being Windows exclusive, or by making Minecraft 2, 3 or 4. There is a plethora of community mods made and being made for

I have been trying to understand why Microsoft would buy Minecraft. Even though Minecraft is really important, and wildly successful, but the price tag for a game studio with one successful game is rather odd, considering it is unlikely Min

If Microsoft is trying to build its own Steam competitor (which given Valve's current strategy to make Linux an alternative gaming platform to Windows, makes sense), then Minecraft is the perfect acquisition to start it up, for a numbe

K-9 mail on Android uses IMAP and it creates new folders, as well as archive my email to my "Archive" folder without a problem. There should be absolutely no reason a mail application couldn't use IMAP to communicate with mai

Having been using DDG as my primary search engine for pretty much 6 years now, I really disliked the new redesign. As mentioned in another comment, the contrast is really bad, I find it hard to read and focus on a given result. This is much

Some background facts, there is only 3 of those ships in-game so far (iirc). That one belonged to the best mercenary alliance in-game, Pandemic Legion (PL for short), which are very notorious for having the best and largest spying network i

There is no point in discussing this, as this entire thread will be based on assumptions and not facts. The only 'fact' one could get would be a picture of Snowden in Russia or someplace else dated very recently, but if there was

You start talking about Snowden, but then switched the topic to information freedom and privacy. Anything about Snowden appears to be on-topic to me. No, his sex life, what he eats, how he sleeps, all those personal aspects don't mat

If keeping your identity anonymous is your goal, there is no better example than Satoshi Nakamoto, that managed to create Bitcoin, run and manage the project for almost couple years, mine a bunch of coins and still remain completely anonymo

You have no control of the layer thickness through this process, and their supercapacitor design actually uses the graphite oxide that isn't turned into graphite as an insulator between the graphene sheets (their supercapacitor is planar, i

The supercapacitor they created is planar, you don't need to layer multiple sheets, you just need to print it then deposit the gel-like electrolyte and put it together with some copper tape and klapton tape. It's written/explained in their

Their paper [1] show that it is actually quite simple, glue a PET layer to the CD, then deposit graphite oxide solution and let it dry overnight, to then put it in the lightscribe drive. They also explain how the supercapacitor is built wit

Pressure is the same on both ends, and the bottom of the can is already thicker than the sides of it. The top of the can is thicker than the sides, but thinner than the bottom, because you need to be able to open the can easily. So in order

I had this sort of issue. Back in 2010 I had mined a hundred coins (CPU mined, back in those days, lol). A month ago I decided to find the wallet file, took me 2 hours to search 5 HDDs with multiple partitions each from my old computers...
