I've got confused by the definition of European over Wikipedia, "A citizen or attribute of or from the European Union[2]", but you're indeed right. I should know, as I live right under Switzerland :) I've fixed my c

No, you aren't. I prefer nearest-neighbor too, I think it preserves the "spirit" of the game. Generally speaking, I prefer it for any kind of "pixel art". That said, those algorithms are impressive, and I can see wh

Question: that article suggest to hash passwords client side too. This has any security advantages? The only one that I can think of is that an eventual MITM can't sniff your password, and then try to reuse it with other sites (as he o

But they did have to close the site. And I guess that Nintendo could easily bring them to court and win (not that they will, it's a small non-profit target). My comment was meant as a "funny" way to say that Nintendo is usual

Yes I have. No, they haven't. All you can do right now is to move the global menu from the "global" bar to the window bar. You can't still have it back to "default", like other operative systems, and you can&#x

Sure, I understand. But why not make everyone happy, and give a choice? At least, for the small "little" tweaks that make everyone scream? There are plenty of examples: globalmenu on/off, globalmenu hidden/showed by defa

I have a different theory: the Ubuntu "core" and "design" teams have their vision of what Ubuntu will be, and just don't listen for feedback from the community. It's fine to just push changes, otherwise we woul

Nice article, I think that the biggest problem with American's LTE (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, as a not-american I can talk only about what I read online) is that it got implemented really soon, in place of the almost n

I agree, Chrome shouldn't allow external application to automatically install extensions. There are few (none outside of the business/enterprise area?) cases where it's done for a good reason, and a lot of cases where it&#x27

Password prompts are annoying, agreed. I like the idea of delaying it as long as possible, even if sometimes it gets annoying. If I have to go through several steps just to register to a site, then I'll probably not register. But remem
