Is that on a mobile or desktop browser? It didn't have any info about my battery (iPhone 6)

And you can also use forward slashes. I've used them in applications (Java apps, NodeJS apps, etc) and in the command line since at least Windows 7.

Even if they didn't, anyone you email at any non-GMail domain would be suspect of doing the same thing (willingly or not). You're better off just trying to severely limit the amount of confidential information you put in email.

Would you say the same about people who haven't been able to master sed? Success with any technology is as dependent on the technology as it is on the user. :)

I napped CTRL+ALT+T to start powershell. Very convenient.

From my own experience learning bat scripting then sh scripting and then powershell, the 40-line monstrosity is what happens when you first learn another scripting language. Sometimes the paradigm can be so different that simply trying to p

Well, my point was that the share menu is an app-centric model that is horribly inefficient - not that it can't be done. Unless all of the apps you are using have incorporated Dropbox or iCloud into their model, those don't help y

Because the convoluted process of getting Application B to work with an item created/edited by Application A is incredibly tedious in the iOS model. In my opinion, while it works well in single-app circumstances, iOS' model is com

With the caveat that it's basically only on iOS and OS X.

I can't speak for other materials, but for wood, a properly glued joint is far superior to fasteners. The glue combines the wood at the molecular level, so that the two pieces are one. There are similar glues for plastics, too. I don&#

I was a little surprised that the download was 50Mb, but this app is very well done. Really like the theming options.

You can also play your local music with apps like Spotify. No desktop client is a huge issue for me.

That is exactly the right culture. If someone makes a series of blunders, without the history of good choices, that's one thing (maybe they need to be in a different position?), but simply firing someone over one decision is usually ve

You're right, mainframes are huge in finance, and I wouldn't be surprised to find that the Fed uses them. I found the second link you posted to be quite baffling; I have worked for several companies where I had to integrate newer

My wife has a Surface Pro 3, and slams it from standing on it's leg down on the keyboard cover. I wince every time she does this, because I expect the glass to shatter. But she never has issues with it sleeping. It's like the tech

Also interesting, from their report: > In the third quarter of 2015, net sales for the Volvo Group amounted to SEK 73,309 M (67,222) with growth coming from North America and Europe. However, this was partly offset by a significant decli

I'm no stats major, but it seems like saying that an ~8k drop in orders from Q42014 to Q42015 is equal in some way to a ~41.7k drop in orders in 2008 is slight exaggeration.

The article does a good job of explaining this, I thought. In addition to their reputation as a browser maker, they have the integrity of their ad network to maintain. Wins all around, if you ask me.

That is a crazy complex system. Compare this to the current Food Stamp system where the government loads money on a pre-paid card (for free - no transaction fees), and that card can only be spent on certain types of goods.

We should better fund community colleges, and make pursuing a technical degree free. That is the degree whose goal is a job. For a BA, MA, etc, the goal shouldn't be a job, but the pursuit of knowledge. Part of that is the value in kno

I would strongly disagree that education loans only drive up tuition. I know several people (including myself) who would not have been able to finish college without a combination of Pell Grants and subsidized student loans. I now have a ve

iOS has gotten worse over the past few years. I love it that they demand as much perfection as I do. Companies will focus resources where they hear the most noise.

Your light bulbs already have to adhere to regulation, and it's largely not been a hindrance at all. In fact, most of it has been helpful.

Certified by whom? And how do we keep those security labels from becoming as useless as certifications like "organic", "natural", and "fat free"?

You can't hold someone liable for a standard that isn't legally defined. So, defining regulation that sets a reasonable expectation of security that every IoT manufacturer has to adhere to is not a bad idea, and helps everyone. &g

Exactly. It's very hard to argue that a strong economic risk is not also a national risk.

Does this prevent a page from positioning an element over another element, outside of its frame?
