Chrome is a common term that means the parts of application user interface that aren't representing the document ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface#User_... ). So window borders, menus, browser

Seems like a spam bot to me. I wonder if there's a farm of bots upvoting it - it appears faily high on the thread after all.

I don't disagree with you, but there is multi-ms latency typically in local setups as well, so certainly some latency must be tolerated by basically all the games. Carmack had an interesting point about this: http://superuse

Are these not closely related? IIRC the plasma containment would be a lot easier if the magnets would work in higher temperatures.

One method that comes to mind would be checking commit authors' e-mail addresses. Someone with @microsoft.com e-mail would very likely be an employee of MSFT.

As a Finn I generally get decent connectivity mostly anywhere. The rural town I live in has 7000 residents and all the three networks have decent 4G coverage here. Certainly not 1Gbps, but always tens of Mbps. Pretty much wherever I go, I h

Everyone I know doing recruiting says that FizzBuzz reliably disqualifies surprisingly large fraction of candidates. Even half of them, even after prefiltering by education or relevant experience.

IIRC among other pressures, Intel pushed Microsoft to consider one of their weaker GPUs Aero compatible. That allowed many PC OEMs to ship Vista PCs with very underpowered GPUs.

There is so much more to staying anonymous in the web than just the transport layer. With all the tracking cookies you have in your browser, it doesn't matter if you use Tor or not. There's an array of privacy-enhancing extensions

That is not correct. All the phone vendors need licenses to some Nokia IP as they own much of the core patents needed for GSM/UMTS/LTE radio implementations. They've licensed them to Microsoft among others. I guess MS got all

For that kind of emergency, you can point the domain name to the IP address via /etc/hosts (there's a similar file in Windows as well).

It's hardly unique. Here in Finland, the prices are comparable, though data caps are rare. 20€/mo gets you LTE with some bundled calls and SMS. Rest of the Nordics should be fairly similar. Currently I pay 18€/mo for my 50Mbp

I have extremely limited knowledge of this subject, but I think they could be transformer coils. For long haul lines one would want to have higher voltage to keep resistance loss at bay.

There's definitely some rough edges on the tooling that will make this less painful. You likely used it with development endpoints, which only give certificates signed by untrusted CA (happy hacker fake CA or something like that). Howe

It is sometimes useful to keep around a 1-10GB 'ballast' file full of zero you can remove if you're in this kind of emergency. Tuning the root reserved space as mentioned in the article comments is another useful trick.

Indeed, blue titles evoke MS Word. As pointed out, a PDF rendered with this style would be great help in understanding it. Perhaps it's a good choice for on-screen reading, but shouldn't you go with serif typefaces when laying out

For a short primer: trendi = trend, hinta = price, laskee = decreases, nousee = increases. "Kannattaako kauppa" can be translated to "Is trade profitable?". So the trend view shows in red where real estate prices are exp

Very likely nothing at all. Isn't TCL just an Alcatel brand licensee? So it's not connected to Alcatel-Lucent in other ways than the name. edit: question mark

To my understanding this is quite an open issue, and it's hard to find a company that would want to risk it in court. ZFS on Linux project currently distributes the modules as source, and they are built for particular kernel locally in

Btrfs is still very new as a filesystem. There's little evidence that it can hold up in production use. It is similar to ZFS, which is the filesystem of choice for many large deployments. Unfortunately ZFS can't be distributed wit

I bet their color hacks end up doing something weird or possibly nothing with emulators. No idea about the implementation details of any PC emulator, but it sure would be tempting for an emulator to just display the bitmap copied from the e

Yes, this is indeed the case. For a typical university student, you get a grant of 335,32€ a month and a up to 201,60€ for residence (up to 80% of the your rent). And up to 400€ a month of government-guaranteed cheap student loan. If you ar
