I'm with you on the lack of taste shown by some lovers of the technique who push the local contrast to its more garish, vomit-inducing settings. Having said that, tone mapping is an essential photographic technique that has been used i

It's a nice and slick project but it is unfortunately not offering a lot of value over, say, a google spreadsheet with a form data entry. Each organisation have their own rules about the data they want to track, so being able to custom

Now it does, but there was a time, at least when SO came online, when IE had a much larger install base, and older, troublesome versions of IE were still fairly popular.

It doesn't scan in the traditional sense of an office scanner does. This Snapjet doesn't uses a line of CCD to scan a digital picture and then print it on paper. The kind of scan it does is simply to run a slit along the smartphon

As of just now: * tag [internet-explorer]: 27,934 questions * tag [google-chrome]: 28,153 questions Since the number of questions is your metric for attributing shame, that surely imply that chrome is much worse than IE, especially consider

But that's already the case if you company uses Google Docs or Office365. If a company is intent on constraining access to data from its office space only, then it wouldn't select or open itself to such systems.

telnet and tfpt clients are still part of Windows, just not installed by default. You need to go into Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features On or Off. They, amongst other tools, are listed there.

This could actually be very useful! I have some old DOS-based stock-taking software that has been working for years but needs to be ported to the web to remove the hassle of maintaining and updating it across old and new machines. Porting i

Regarding the reviews, I haven't been on these sites but I suppose that they would only allow buyers to make a review. Even if sellers cheat and create fake transactions to be allowed a review, people who are not happy with the servi

It makes sense in the fact that the blockchain can be used to store a proof of copyright that may help in settling disputes when two parties claim to be the origin of the thing being copyrighted. So, you could imagine storing in the blockch

I'm going to say that, for some at least, fetishism is probably a part of the underlying lure. I find it hard to completely disconnect the passion some people have for footwear from some form of foot fetishism. Not saying it's nec

But React + Flux is an alternative to MVC. Still early days for Flux, but the principles are sound and I hope it offers a viable alternative to all these framework that rely mainly on variants of the MVC pattern.

Your product look useful and I might try it soon. However, there seems to be an issue on that page: on Win8.1 x64 and Firefox 32.0.3 I get constant CPU of between 25-60% when it's loaded (I'm on a i7 Haswell CPU with 6GB RAM, and

Lotus Notes was revolutionary and visionary when it came out, in 1989 . That it failed to really adapt to a changing technological landscape and failed to meet user expectations is more an indictment of the management at Lotus/IBM tha

I agree, competition would be nice, and I also do care about privacy and not being the product. However, being a pragmatist, I also see that FB has won a particular war: it managed to get everyone and their mom on it, and privacy issues are

It's not clear who this new social network is supposed to be for. If they want everyone, then it will surely fail. Everyone has Facebook already where their friends and family dwell, and no-one seriously care much about the NSA (I have

Pet peeve: for ambiguous currency signs, the currency code must always be clearly mentioned on the invoice. I hate it when I buy from companies in the US and they just write their prices as $. Then my accountant doesn't know if that in

For one, a lot more people have powerful mobile devices than they have powerful desktops/laptops. Second, price-wise, you can sell the VR device a lot cheaper if you rely on the user's existing phone to power it, making it more af

What I like most about Medium, in terms of design interaction, is the ability to comment any part of the text. Is there any open source blog engine that has that feature? This reminds me of the UI ideas of Doug Engelbart, like purple numbe

After doing some electronic goods trading with China, I can say that the main issue is to make sure that what you receive is what you paid for. Specs have a way of changing without you being informed. Consistency of quality is pretty random
