I take it you're fine with UEFI Secure Boot, then?

Well, iOS is also the only OS to run on iDevices. You can't switch to Android on your iPhone, you need to get a new phone altogether, just like you would've had to get a new Mac, instead of just installing another(BeOS) OS.

I'm not sure anyone would ever claim that patents are morally justified. Their justification is cultural, in a sense. They are there that invention is worth it. Invention and innovation, in turn, bring about advances for the entire culture

She should contact Lenovo directly. I've fried my Lenovo T61 with overclocking and they still repaired it immediately. Additionally, they expressly stated to REMOVE THE HDD. This is obviously a cop out by Newegg, since any technician worth

Lenovo Thinkpads have very dedicated fans that have created drivers for almost everything. Installing Ubuntu 12.04 on my TP T61, there was zero configuration or hacking around needed. Every last wierd, unique or proprietary feature worked o

sadly, Keepass is not very Mac/Linux friendly, because it's built on .NET, so it's only an option for pure Windows users.

"We've implemented many different security measures, but talking about them on camera would be insecure" (Paraphrased) Yes, because security by obscurity has such an awesome track record. In fact, if whoever is responsible for this fiasco h

It would make it a lot easier for LinkedIn to identify whose hashes were leaked because with a salt, all passwords would be unique. It would also make rainbow tables useless. But in this day and age, the bigger problem is how fast you can c

you'd compare the hashes in your database with those from the file. The users with a hash contained in the file would be notified. Because the passwords aren't salted(stupid), you might get multiple hits for the same hash(for example, for t

To clarify your first point: They've justified this by saying that compression algorithms have gotten better meaning people can store more on less, which is idiotic, seeing how files get a lot bigger because of higher quality. Their explana

I'm not a content creator myself, but every now and then you'll hear supposed content creators that are registered say that, unless you're a big fish, you're happy just to break even the membership fees.

The reason the destruction was toned down is because the maps would look extremely barren after a while. Even now, if you get rid of all the trees in e.g. Caspian Border, a lot of cover get lost and air and land vehicles would be having a h

I had to learn Objective-C, how to use a Mac and Xcode inside of a month, because the company we normally outsourced this kind of development to didn't have time. Never in my wildest dreams would I've guessed that the actual programming wou

I learned C++ by accident: A friend of my moms had an old programming book laying around and gave it to me. Next thing i know, i'm "wasting" my vacation reading the book from cover to cover. I never actually used C++ though. Not once in my

German dev here. Here, you hear companies complain about qualified laborer scarcity("Fachkräftemangel") and the politicians eat it up. It's not true though; it's just that the companies have totally wrong ideas of what they can demand/offer

Aren't you describing philosophy instead of religion, in the sense that philosophy is thinking about it, while religion is extracting rules/guidelines and/or dogmas from those thoughts? Also: Blind and stupid? Nothing against criticism, but

The reason we're not running on *aaS isn't actually becuase we don't want to - we'd love to. Yet we keep having to roll our own mini cloud on root servers because our clients fear for data security (and rightly so) when putting stuff on ser

While the article itself is very interesting to someone like me that knows squat about diddledy, i must commend the author for including FireFly references.

I think its always hard for software kickstarters to offer anything interesting besides the actual product. As you've said, in this case, even merchandise doesn't really make sense. The only tier, apart from a 15$ software tier(as its been

Maybe a fitting summation of your argument would be: Don't just fight the symptoms, fight the reason/root/cause as well. (?)

I'd imagine that in the presenters' mind, this picture wasn't worse than people inserting lolcats or funny pictures into their presentation. I'm not saying it's the same, just that those creating the presentation see it so. Whether insertin

I'd like to know what solution those that are critizing Kickstarter offer. After all, banning an IP is close to pointless.

I get the sentiment(and i'm right there with ya), but the author isn't asking for your whole website to work without JS, just to display some very basic, static stuff without Javascript. Hell, even just ignoring that JS is missing might be

AdBlock(afaik) directly blocks loading ads at all. Therefore, they are not counted as a view, because it isn't. I think it'd be a lot scummier if it loaded them, but didn't display them. That would wreck havoc with ad statistics and would d

It'd be cool if someone made a Minecraft IDE, where you program using preformated elements in a visual style by literally building your program with blocks. Sorta like Scratch.
