Tunnlebear makes no claims relative to logging its users activities or about its responsiveness to requests for them. Beware.

Does this work with Visual Studio Community 2013?

Yeah, I got that on Firefox too. There was something going on in the background that interfered and after 5-10 seconds it stopped doing so for me and then acted normally. Some ill behaved script on the page I think.

Is there a good text which would make the meaning of all this clear?

Heh. For the helluvit I entered the Transcendental Meditation mantra given me 45 years ago and got something much, much more compelling than the mantra itself. I might just revisit that old fad.

OMG! Of course I entered "type something" (no quotes) and five minutes later dragged myself out of the trance it put me in. :-) This could actually be very useful for meditation.

"High-level lying nevertheless remains the modus operandi of US policy" Is there a person alive that doesn't know this? The same can be said of any powerful nation's policy throughout most if not all of history. Ending

There really is no way to ensure that unfortunately. You can only go by reputation and their own statements in that regard. The resource I linked is a good place to start an investigation. At least it weeds out those that don't even m

A bit more caution: if using a VPN's client application it is very important to ensure that they have a kill switch option which shuts down all internet traffic should the VPN connection drop. Many don't. Without that, your machin

What I most like about this text is that it is about the R language and not about the domain in which R has found the greatest application. I find R perfectly suitable for basic, pre-statistical signal processing for example. Far better t

I've a particularly bad case of short term to long term drought. More than once I've been well into a book or short story before realizing I've read it before. Occasionally not until I get to the ending.

If one is not burdened with knowing anything yet is it feasible to start and stay with C#/Xamarin alone or must one also master the other environments to fill gaps?

Well, yes. I did and I appreciate this correction. Another fine example of the fact that correlation is not necessarily causation. One our old brains are incredibly prone to overlook.

And the disk drives on that 360 had hydraulic actuators to move the heads. Was that the 2301 or 2311 disk, or something else? Where I was in IBM Poughkeepsie we kept our programs on removable disks of somewhere around 16 in. in diameter.

That is indeed a good sign if not definitive. Given your creds you've made me much more optimistic.

It has that potential but corporate greed will turn it into a tower of incompatible babble.

I fear that all of this is a race to produce incompatible consumption devices for proprietary paid content channels. I do not expect to see open content for them via open channels and sincerely hope I'm wrong. Steam is just one of the
