I was reasonably happy on my bosses plastic Macbook until OSX stopped supporting them, and I need xCode for my job. I now have his non retina Macbook pro to compile apps, and i fear the day that stops working too.

Ive had that exact same feeling since my iPad 1's life was effectively ended by software updates. It was the quickest device to become obsolete I've ever owned.

I dropped Sickbeard/SickRage for Sonarr a few months ago. I'm very happy with the change. Especially with the better support for torrents and easier to use UI. Thanks for all your hard work on the project!

Wow, that's a shame. I've had quite a different experience with my devices, so much so that I went from a Nexus back to a Samsung device (note 4) for the extra perks and have been very happy with it.

Considering it is Samsungs flagship device, and Samsung have offerings for business security with KNOX, I have no reason to see why they wouldn't.

My guess is that the entire display circuit is tightly coupled with the SoC, and it would cost a bit more to get something into the circuit that accepted, decoded, and displayed a digital signal on top of the current SoC talking directly to

Youtube-dl [1] is my go to tool for pulling video content out of a page, and its source [2] is a nice lesson in de-obfuscating the sites it supports [1] = https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/ [2] - https://gith

I really like watching the code reviews Terry has put on youtube. Watching him use his own creation to navigate, test and explain his own creation is very interesting.

Why dont you just use something like Tekkit, FeedTheBeast, or ATLauncher? They bundle mods together and its a click and play ordeal. They are essentially just autoconfigs for Forge. I find the most odd thing about minecraft is how much 3rd

This list seems to be full of both causes and symptoms? I would say Depression / Lack of interest / Feeling stuck would be what causes me to stop being productive, and reddit and hacker news browsing is a symptom of those.

Sorry I said discounted. Thank you for the link. Sadly Australia never saw the edition which shipped with Ubuntu, but I'm fine with that as long as i know the hardware supports it.

That is true, however the Nexus 4 is an exception to that rule. I own a nexus 4 and can not think of a single thing which i would switch to an iPhone 5 for. The only thing it is lacking is LTE support, which ill be happy without until my ne

The github page helps a bit - https://github.com/kitcambridge/evil.js It appears to try to hilariously break JavaScript in order to thwart hot-linking.
