I own a new W530, and I can confirm the trackpad still stinks. After my Macbook Pro died, I switched to Lenovo because how much work and fraught with difficulty keeping Linux running on the MBP was. Installs have been easier, but now I've f

I'm not even that old, but cry me a river. My whole life I was told dress a certain way or you won't get hired. The world put up with it when it was old guys telling young guys they had to wear a suit. Now there's an older guy who says he c

The problem is that it was not reasonably secure. As I understand the complaint, you can't integrate PGP into an extensible, skinnable interface securely. There's not firefox or OS support for making that kind of thing doable. You'd want to

I maintain sites using both the older synchronous and newer asynchronous Google Analytics. I also personally as a matter of course block Google Analytics using a few adblock rules. As a user I have never experienced page breakage due to blo

It did not work for me in Firefox, but I switched over to Chrome and it then worked.

You're missing the point. It's unavoidable that if you say "you sound racist" that that attributes a trait to the person rather than their behavior, and is not much different than saying "you are a racist." The rule of thumb is address the

Ok so many listeners are susceptible to this, but why do moderators allow it to happen? The last few times I've seen a moderator say in effect that the person didn't answer the question, it forced the speaker into a laughably fake-sounding

Someone should send her a link to Derailing for Dummies. Questioning his account of the events is dangerously close to blaming the victim, derailing the argument from the cause discussing anti-Semitism, and forms a pattern of discouragement

There is a huge chunk of Tumblr that sounds identical in tone and language. They all feed off of each other. He came into his job sounding like this, it didn't happen recently. Tumblr is their outlet. Not that that in any way justifies his

Maybe Microsoft should open some offices in the Midwest. I moved out of the Midwest because, while there was work, it was sparse, and frankly, not interesting. There are decent paying jobs but I found the ceiling was low compared to other p

I have done this and can confirm it was really easy to do the fix. It works, but it should be noted that if you leave your cartridges pushed down in the system all the time it will just wear out quickly again. The design is just flawed.

It wasn't about ideology, it was a CITY fire department that for a fee (not tax) would provide fire protection service inside the county but outside the areas it has legal jurisdiction to tax. Some places in the USA do not have county-wide

The video strongly implies that Muslims as a group are violent (watch the part with the father and daughter early on). It presents Islam's founder as a horrible human being, and a religious fraud. This is not quite as mild as it gets with r

Last I knew, it was justified under public safety. People who had already been sentenced and served their time in the past had been listed on newly-created sex offender lists. Court ruled that it wasn't a punishment, so it couldn't be consi

While this helps, unfortunately there is a burgeoning business of websites that scrape offender lists and re-publish them, and will not remove your name unless you pay them money. There weas one a while back that would actually contact peop

I've been following this, even tried to buy hardware to support it. Fair warning though, Version 1.0 does not support Ivy Bridge architecture. There's an unsupported experimental branch that is supposed to work, though.

Thanks for the links. Here's my thoughts, take them or leave them: First, it's a big leap to go from the Harvard article's "here are theoretical issues with this test, not knowing any specifics of how it works" to "this doesn't work." There

What about allow a publisher to delegate a subscription endpoint via something like pubsubhubub? Then publisher just has to push to the aggregator, everybody does their pulls from them.

This virus could be used to track the flow of money in terror networks. It could also be used offensively to surprise-defund them, or to grab off-the-books cash for your own nation's agents in the field.

You can access 4chan through Tor, now. It used to be blocked, but now only blocks posting. Additionally, there is an HTTPSEverywhere definition (you have to specially get it from their website) that forces all the 4chan content through SSL

There is a chain. There is the World Wide Web, which is a mass indiscriminate content creator. Then you have 4chan, which functions as both an individual content creator on the WWW, and as a giant aggregator. 4chan users aggregate funny pic
