Moving the buttons to the left was important for maximizing in Unity with the combined menu/titlebar. They could have kept them on the right but then they would get confused with the systray icons/indicators.

I think even most of the people who did put them back on the right are probably using them on the left now. At the time it did seem a bit arbitrary and I thought it was an attempt to be more 'mac like'. However looking at it along

I don't see why number 2 can't be done on any other distro. Nothing is stopping you from compiling your own kernel on any of them. Of coarse its rare that people would bother. 3 is also a feature of Arch. The problem is now you h

Use the right license for the job. If I was making a stand alone program, then it would probably be GPL or AGPL (for anything that could provide a service over the web). However I would probably avoid it if I could see the potential for it

From my limited understanding, the slides are unlikely to be 'incorrect' as Snowden worked there so he would know what was actually going on. It's possible Snowden is making the whole thing up but the government haven't

imho that irritates me more than the mac one since it's information and the mac one is a product review so the scrolling kind of gives you a way to get a feel for the product. Although it does have a working scroll bar which the mac on

There is no reason why someone couldn't build a tool to send/receive binary responses and print them out as text. We have wireshark anyway. Just need a cli translator or a program that lists all the possible valid inputs for a giv

Technically lightning would have left via the window, it goes from the ground up and just looks the other way around.

I kind of wonder at the need for this. NoSQL's main advantage is its performance at the cost of a no joins limitation and no ACID. An embedded database is unlikely to have much in the way of performance requirements, otherwise you would use

Personally Google scares me, and it's getting worse with each Google I/O. The concern for me is Google seems like they will 'win' the game of software corporation. MS seem to be slowly tanking with little future in them unless they tear dow

Some of these could be quite useful for graphics algorithms. For example: http://wry.me/hacking/Turing-Drawings/#4,3,1,1,2,1,2,1,0,2,3... Is a pretty amazing simulation of fire with wind (although rotated 90°). And that 'Glider' one from

I couldn't even do some of these ☹ I think I'll try the bike peddling one first, repeatedly sprint for eight seconds, then pedal slowly for 12 and repeat. http://lifehacker.com/5989669/researchers-claim-to-discover-...

From your years of work in scientific medical research or just 'cus'? You do understand this is scientific research and not just an idea someone thought up on a whim.

As far as I'm concerned It's a good thing that there are too many DRM'd technologies. They are all stamping on each other, engaging in corporate infighting, patenting the underlying DRM technology and so on. Apple want their walled garden,

Doh, I was wondering why I could only move in 'insert' mode. Guess I was entering Vimiums insert mode rather than the game.

Yeh, subscription seems silly. Might be an attempt for corporate users training staff regularly.

That would be a pretty big grain, Comparisons like that are basically useless. Your YouTube is likely to be using H.264. H.265 and H.264 will be sharing much of their encoding technologies, so they gain fewer encoding artefacts and loose le

Microsoft and Apple aren't paying for the licenses at all. They are companies not the codec license charity faries. The cost is just attached to the price of their products without the consumer knowing. Also if you are running a H.264 subsc

Yes they are required to release it. 'Release' doesn't have to mean 'on the internet'. Even if it's sent out on 5¼ inch floppies by the slowest postal service known to man and only makes its way onto the internet by a 3rd party its still re

You should probably specify in what language. I would use a totally different scene for C++, Java, C and so on. Normally I try and gravitate to the norm, unless there is something that anoys me. For example I dislike C++'s standard to appen

If someone is wanting to go with the full GPL I think the AGPL would be a better fit anyway otherwise people can use a webservice to do all the processing. Could even charge for it and not give any in house changes back.
