I was just about to decry ZDNet for calling the kettle black here, but it seems they removed the scummy invisible pop-up ad click target they used to put in the negative space next to the column.

That's not so much a "sane defaults dotfile" as a highly-opinionated personal defaults dotfile. I don't consider that a bad thing, but do at least give it the deserved appellation.

Turning it on via the switch overrides the Schedule setting. It's not using the prior 11PM, it's using your expressed desire for it to be on.

Jailbreaking iOS (...) means relinquishing the benefits and ease of the Store. What? A jailbroken iOS user loses access to none of Apple's official application and music distribution channels.

If a monothreaded eix-update was run immediately after a polythreaded eix, there's a high chance that a lot of the data from /usr/portage was in the disk cache. I'd like to see the results of running the test back-to-back multiple times (ei

This article is literally ten instances of "How to destroy an IC: apply power where power does not belong, or apply too much power where less power belongs." with marketing piled on top of it. To be fair, if you did any of these things dire

I believe Twitter had to restrict status updates to 140 characters not due to usernames but instead due to the fact that SMS messages are 160 septets (1120 bits, or 140 8-bit characters) not 160 8-bit characters.

This isn't exactly about the article, but I think it's a little unfair to call this a "UPS Scam" (cf. domain name.) It's a customer-service slip-up, and they probably already issued the charge by the time the invoice was received. Writing a

What I cannot fathom is why the list of dates available via a date picker (which, as far as I can tell, is a standard kit component) is up to each app. I can understand situations in which the available dates should be limited, but the Peop

You could also use access(), which will not incur any file reading overhead or exchange of encryption keys.

You can normally read from outside the sandbox on iOS: there are data in /usr/lib and /usr/share that are important to libraries shipped as part of the dyld cache (also incidentally found outside of the app container.) The main question is:

Fusion Drive is just a fancy name for CoreStorage joining two independent disks with specific parameters. Those specific parameters can be replicated using CoreStorage to join two independent disks. How, then, is that not Fusion Drive?

Not at all. Cortex units lack a MMU, ARMv7 instructions (they're limited to THUMB/THUMB2), and don't have nearly enough RAM for even a bootloader capable of LOADING Linux, much less for Linux itself. This and the Pi serve radically differen

What exactly are they crushing? Is something here being physically compacted? If not, can we crush the use of "crushing it?" It's 2012. "Crushing it" isn't any better now than "killing it" was in 2011.

I'd like to throw in the minor nitpick that stretchable/capped images are not iOS 5+, but in fact date back to iPhoneOS 2.0, with -[UIImage stretchableImageWithLeftCapWidth:topCapHeight:] All said and done, however, how is "here, use the AP
