I do agree with you to a point. I do think they have a difficult task trying to balance protecting people from their own ignorance and catering to power users who know exactly what they are doing and desire more freedom. An option that just

I'm really curious now. If you don't mind me asking, how did you learn the meanings of the keywords when they were in a language you didn't understand? Did you have to learn to translate "for", "while", et

Has anyone else managed to get past their horrific (and non-compliant) GDPR consent page? I selected the "Accept All" and it just thrashed away for ages running god knows how many scripts. I ended up killing it and opening it in O

I think you mean "alluding". Eluding means avoiding.

The 'fort' is short for fourteen, so fort-weekly would be every fourteen weeks.

I don't believe you will ever get functions outside of classes in C#. It is antithetical to the entire ethos of the environment.

Really though? When the inventor of the concept of "free software" and the founder of the Free Software Foundation says that free software is not the same as open source software I don't really think you can seriously declare

I don't think you really understand him. What you are suggesting is akin to saying to someone deeply religious "If you spend 20 years making a fortune from drugs and prostitution you will have loads of money to spread your religio

I gather there is some debate in the field as to whether this is a true effect or a consequence of bad measurements. I do find it fascinating and await better evidence before making my mind up either way. I do, however, appreciate your sple

This seems odd to me. With products such as Translate Google is investing a lot of time and money into understanding context in language. (I imagine it's helpful for search as well.) It seems inconceivable that their "context engi

Thanks for the replies all. I do appreciate the time taken out of busy lives. However, I did specify "easy" and as soon as you start talking about creating your own VPN and the like you've lost about 99% of the people out the

The small number is irrelevant. The OP said office jobs did not exist in medieval times. This is quite clearly an incorrect statement. I am perfectly happy to debate whether pointing this out is relevant to the point being made, but I stand

That's great whilst you're at home but as soon as you go out and switch to your mobile network you're back to being tracked again surely. Is there any easy way around that?

I found the last paragraph particularly interesting. I have a friend who is a real car enthusiast; he owns several classic cars which he maintains himself and takes to car shows. A few weeks ago he said that he believed that hydrogen fuel c

I humbly disagree. Even in medieval times there were clerics, scribes, book-keepers, and so on.

Also, unless someone physically replaces the PIN pad, which is difficult and likely to leave visible indications of tampering, then one can reasonably sure that entering your PIN is secure. With a software touch screen you have no guarantee

by Digit-Al 7y ago
PIN pads are generally designed so other people can't shoulder surf your PIN. Having it on the touch screen would make it trivially ready for everyone to see exactly what you are entering.

Sweet mercy. I completely missed the Dick Braine thing. It's like the party have been taken over by masochists who derive sexual pleasure from being mocked. If I were a Brexiter I would be highly embarrassed at being represented by tha

I second that. Chickens are omnivores. My mum keeps a few chickens for eggs and when she gives them meal-worms for a treat sometimes they go absolutely crazy for them. Chickens naturally peck about for worms, insects, seeds, etc...

I've had both good and bad experiences of Google map routes. On the bad side, one time when going to a small festival I got routed down this tiny narrow lane that ended up at a dead end leading into a couple of fields. Luckily there wa
