It was a general trend of the industry recently to put trash keyboards in all their laptops. I returned two laptops over it a few years ago, then got a lenovo because they were the only consistent choice at the time. That being said, they&#

That's actually pretty interesting, I didn't know people could lack stereo vision, and even more I didn't know the same people could get it with therapy. Kind of reminds me of that one camera connected to a blind person'

Ignoring Tesla, self driving cars will almost definitely be safer. People die in cars constantly. People don't have to die if companies don't rush the tech to market like Tesla plans to. To be fair, I blame the drivers, but I stil

Just to warn people who might have a different situation, sometimes cable companies say something along the lines of "$19.99 bundle!" And in the small print it says each, so it's actually $60 for phone, internet, and TV.

No, other companies push the envelope. Touch screens and 360 hinges and fingerprint readers to name a few. Plus most motherboards in laptops are custom designed as well. Dell always designs the cooling system differently to try and be quiet

That's because it would be a health issue. If I wrote a book for fun, and said you could have a free copy, it wouldn't be my responsibility to make sure you enjoy it. The VLC team does an amazing job at making their software solid

Actually, he wasn't being sarcastic. I see how you may have thought that, but his response was genuine, and the commenter took it as so.

Ask yourself that question. If you find the answer is you shouldn't care, then don't click the link.

The idea is that once whole grains are processed into flour, the surface area is increased enough to make the benefits much smaller than eating actually whole grains (like rice). A little more googling shows me that whole grain pasta is def

While true about whole carbs, a lot of people are mislead on what that means. A lot of whole grain cereal (such as multi-grain cheerios) is processed enough that you don't get any of the benefits of it being whole grain and it's d

Wikipedia lists 36 types, I'm not sure where I'm remembering hundreds from, but I posted a comment above correcting myself.

Cheese is probably one of the most satiating foods there is actually... Fat and protein keep you full.

Saturated fat got a bad rap because of butter. More recently studies have brought it into question how bad it is, and as it turns out, replacing saturated fats with carbs increases your risk of heart disease. Unsaturated fats are better, bu

It's probably worth noting that bipolar disorder and manic depression are the same condition. In other words, bipolar disorder is a form of depression, though they could have been more clear and said "other forms of depression&quo

I did nand2tetris something like 7 years ago, it was a pretty fun introduction to digital logic. I remember hitting a point where I couldn't continue after designing the ALU due to either a paywall, something missing, or the Java softw

I can see it now: "Facebook now offers faster news feed rendering for PCs equipped with Intel 10 series FPGAs!" Kidding of course, but I think the FPGA/CPU combos will be more relevant to servers than end users, at least init

Windows 10 has a nice feature to "refresh" which supposedly re-installs Windows while keeping programs and settings. I haven't tried it, so no idea how well it works, but it might be worth your time

Just a pet peeve, Moore's law isn't tied to performance, it's tied to transistor count. Also, it has been pronounced dead every year for a very long time, but it hasn't actually been dead until the last few years, and so
