What is augmented? Or to phase it another way, what from the real world is integrated into the game? It is just using the camera and other motion sensors to track movement. It isn't augmented reality in any sense.

Seems like a kneejerk reaction. The reason services are bundled into SVCHOST is that it offers reduced memory footprint and lower startup costs, which is still significant on resource constrained systems (which Windows embedded still target

You're asking for a language change to fix poorly written code. The final else if() is redundant, if you change it to a simple else you remove the "not all code paths return a value" issue and remove a redundant check. This r

This is a facet of American culture that I've always found interesting... Self determination is a very core part of what I, an outsider, see as American-ism. But self determination only seems to apply to government interference, not pr

Indeed, significantly worse. No actual technical mechanism has come out suggesting how Kaspersky is spying, only that it could. We've seen technical mechanisms which impact US firm's hardware such as Cisco and how they're emb

The issue is that the cost increase is not proportional. If you go from an Economy Basic seat to a Economy Plus seat I'll pay 125% more. Meaning a $39 seat now costs $90. Does it cost over 100% more to fly an over six foot person than

Indeed. But the practice has somewhat backfired. Some members of the general public now erroneously believe that any image lacking a watermark is a public works. For one specific anecdote, a local popular bar lifted an image of their establ

I have little sympathy. The author decided to pick an "edgy" title to get clicks and it clearly backfired. If you posted "Motherhood Isn’t Sacrifice, It’s Selfishness" as a comment here it would get flagged to death too.

Agreed. My LG G2 had that, and it was absolutely fantastic; but no phone since then has had double tap to turn off, only on. I guess they're worried about false positives. But LG solved this by only allowing double tap to turn off from

Ironically, there's only a concept of "up" because of the very same home button. If you remove the home button then there is no up and down, since the virtual home button would always rotate to the bottom per gravity.

For what? I own a Surface Pro 3 and a Surface Book. Both have only been improved through firmware updates after release. There was actually some pain points on the SP3 right around release that caused some headaches.

There's no way to answer that without a bias. It depends which Mac you feel is most comparable to the Surface Laptop, what value is placed on Touchbar (if any), what value is placed on a touchscreen (if any), how much value you place o

If you stick to the boring Thinkpads (T series and P series) they're fairly safe bets. Some of Dell's business grade laptops are also built like tanks. Neither company's consumer grade (read: cheap) I'd touch. Microsoft

I'm just glad AMD are still competitive. Seemed like for a few years there they might almost gone out of business. I think consoles have helped keep them afloat in the bad years too. Obviously Intel will respond to this (either via har
