It's so typically IBM to concentrate on Businesses and forgetting consumers with a technology that could even eat into Google's market. They should partner with Microsoft / Nokia and get license fees for every Windows phone. Now that would

It's certainly interesting that it's more comfortable for you to use Page Down instead of two finger kinetic scrolling. I only find myself using the Page Down keys on Desktops instead of the mouse wheel. Well as I said, it's basically a mat

I've found that the least amount of mental overhead is still achieved by doing all the necessary tests right where the 'useful' code is taking place, raising a standard Exception but with a good error description and doing a Pokemon-catch s

As someone who has tried Genetic Programming I can tell you that we're quite far from this becoming a reality. However, maybe there is something to that concept: I can imagine that it's possible to generate a good part of the usual boilerpl

Not the one you're responding to, but: I guess the difference is the preferred pointer device plus the screen quality. I have to tell you though, I've seen quite a few posts of people switching from thinkpads to macbooks and not one of them

Blogsite owners probably think "well, if it works for pornsites and pirate movie streamers..." Of course, I only know the behavior of aforementioned services from my 'friends'.

That's Japanese Culture for you. Many see their job as their highest life goal and they seek its perfection in order to honour their family/team mates/company/fellow Japanese or whatever their group association is at the moment. This idea t

See, I'd like to think of it a bit differently. If you look at the consumer market Sony does separately, none of it really has much growth potential, even worse, most of it is in a dwindling position. The thing is, Sony is in a bit of a uni

I have the same concerns about Sony not having visionaries. The situation with Apple + Jobs was unique. Still, Apple's turnaround shows that stuff like that is possible. Sony has still enough assets they could sell in order to fire up R&#38

OSX seems to have had this design paradigm: 'Make everything work in the most streamlined way possible for the default use case (80%). Give some limited options for a few more specific use cases (18%). Cover everything else with CLI integra

As someone who's close to Japanese culture ('married into it') and has loved Sony products in the 90ies this stuff just makes me angry. At this pace Sony will soon need some berserk of Jobs' calibre to turn it around (they still aren't at t

Thank you, that's exactly how I think, it's even this way with Windows. On other systems I would waste days after days of my life to set things up 'just the way I want' only to find that it's never gonna be quite that way. Macs just let m

Exactly what I thought. An app will potentially already have your whole social graph by the time you get to change those settings.

I'm pretty sure podperson wasn't talking about himself. The main problem with Win8 seems to be that it's going to be difficult to learn for not so technically versed people, e.g. at least 80% of their userbase. And no, it's not true that th

I can't really tell anything about their phone service. I've had good experiences with their in-store service however. So I think it's not all areas of their customer service, but they could certainly improve.

I can't quite put my foot down on what the scenario is exactly. One time might have been a case where a folder with lots of small files got moved away and Dropbox only allows single file restore, which would have taken hours, possibly longe

Do you know about worst case analysis? Let's say your data loss occurs on the Sunday, 31th of a month at 23:55 and then gets synched across all your S3 backups (or it could occur at some point before that but you don't notice it). And poof

"Vigorous agreement here too, except for the TimeMachine bit as that is Mac only and doesn't work for <insert any other system or device that isn't Apple Mac OSX)." Well yes, obviously it only works in a mac-only household/office. I sti

Wait, do I understand this correctly: You sync your dropbox to S3? Do you overwrite your previous daily when you do so?

It doesn't matter whether he notices it or not, you can't count on social factors when it comes to backup systems. He might notice it but then he thinks, oh no problem, it's all in Dropbox anyway, I'll talk to Dylan16807 when he gets back.

by DeepDuh 14y ago
Yes, I'm aware of that. This helps, up to the point where you don't notice that something's gone for 'a few days'. Let's say you have your student project's folder shared with two other colleagues. You take a few days off, use your PC for c

Alright, I've edited it, thanks for the heads up. Dropbox and backup in one phrase tends to awaken my temper as I've had some horrible almost data losses (as in I've had to restore data from the dropbox cache folder that could basically b

"I even mentioned that I have a NAS and off-site backup... so either you didn't read it all or you stopped the moment you encountered the word "Dropbox" and started typing." No offense, but this post doesn't quite match what you wrote origi

by DeepDuh 14y ago
sigh Dropbox should not be used as a backup system. A system that synchronizes live should never get that role, except if they can guarantee that old data is never overwritten, new is always appended. This is not the case with dropb

Giving computers to young children is one thing. I would think twice about giving them unrestricted internet however. I kinda like the lego raspberry computer idea combined with the 'showing CLI first' idea someone had here (obviously not f

I don't agree. If you've ever had a taste of one of apple's retina screens, you'd probably also see that it's a significant improvement. Text is so much clearer and easier to read that I feel it's less straining on the eyes.

As a foreigner I'm surprised that this is shown on fox news. GOP minus Ron Paul's tea party branch are pro war on drugs aren't they? So fox news is actually more diverse than I thought. If their viewership is as diverse, there might still b

That's... hilariously bad. Doesn't tell good things about their code review processes (as in: wtf is a code riiviiu???111!!).

It sure is a fascinating wiki. Judging by it it wasn't that far from being implemented, which is mind boggling.

Thanks for the infos, it makes a bit more sense to me now. I'm still trying to understand as a layman with engineering background, so I'm pulling a few numbers out of my ass now.. Let's say we have a unit power output of P_therm and P_bomb
