Hopefully MariaDB can incorporate SQL window functions: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/tutorial-window.ht... These have been part of PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, etc for quite a while and still

Correct, and this is the point that is being missed by so many, despite their hyperbole. Chrome could prevent the display of the password as a design choice, but the password must be reversible otherwise how could you send it on to the auth

Back button seems to work as expected for me in Chrome. And I'm grateful the site doesn't use an annoying carrousel. I find those things garish.

Crossbar believes it can write data to its chip at 140 megabytes per second, compared to 7 megabytes a second for flash. Read performance is 17 megabytes per second, with a random read latency of 30 nanoseconds. The write performance soun

The fact you can "install" it is simplistic. Manually adding a desktop environment on top of Unity is not the same as one carefully groomed to work seamlessly, which is what Mint delivers.

Nice, timers are always handy. Some things I noticed: * Shortcuts: hr min sec * Supports countdown or clock: timer 10 sec, timer 14:00 * Clock mode supports am/pm and 24hr format: timer 2pm * Set a bookmark for a 10 second timer: http

Your link also describes my understanding of a full-stack developer. I think the OP is giving his summary of some web development history, and his opinions on some of the many options available. But it does not have anything to do with full

Apple has patented virtual page turning, rubber banding, pinch to zoom, and probably other more frivolous things that I'm not aware of. I think Apple would quickly patent the 3 point seatbelt if they could.

A point I found most interesting is identifying running devices via "electromagnetic interference signatures". If it really is possible to measure the power use of things like the microwave, water heater, stove, etc., without atta

Sounds to me like they want to offer a Business level tier. The wording "should not host any type of server" was probably groomed by the legal team. My guess is rather than define what a server is, which is almost impossible, th

I was just thinking there hasn't been a new programming language announced in the last week or so. With so few existing languages to choose from that have extensive supporting toolsets and APIs, this will surely stand out.

Right, "holding down the single button" certainly means the user has physical access, so this sounds like it is by design. There is context to security.

Not sure what you mean by "much" faster. Most of the benchmarks have fractional differences. I think comparing an Apple only, commercial program, to a free and open source multi-platform program, VirtualBox would "win" f

Similar to the position some have that if you comment on a bug/flaw/shortcoming of an open source app, that you are somehow obliged to shut up and get involved in the bug report process. In case it's not obvious, I don't

Frankly I think the letter is worded fine, and makes strong effort to be polite. If one is suggesting the exclusion of women astronauts is the issue, then that is a different thing entirely.

I was glad to notice the lack of Johnny Cash drowning out the rocket sounds. I have nothing against Cash, but these rocket landings are impressive as they are, without treating them like an MTV video.

You can edit the scheme after hunting down and installing an extension which was not available at the initial release. The same could be said for the start menu on Win8. MS could have easily quieted the many loud voices by including options

I personally don't mind the menu caps, but I do find the way they are forcing their design choices on everyone somewhat antagonistic, and generally not smart. The same issue happened with their forced grey or white color schemes. It's not h

The only incredible thing is that Rossi seems to keep getting attention, which I suspect, along with naive sponsors, is the only thing he really wants.
