The continuing sales of the Galaxy Ace should be criminal. If you buy one and update all apps it comes with, bam: you're out of space. Not to mention even if you apply all updates available you're still a walking target for every

Unfortunately a lot of apps embed the Android browser as well, and you can't change that.

There's a plan to get from ITER to a commercial version. Next in line after ITER is "DEMO", which will have higher output and actually produce power (ITER will just vent off the heat). PROTO would then build further on the fi

As the other poster said, it's a square with bits cut off. You can program it per pixel if you want to, but for most typical use-cases developers will be using higher level APIs that handle the details for you. You can try out developi

Google do as well - they block logins that they determine to be suspicious, and a separate country seems to be a big factor in that decision.

If your theory was the correct one, could we use that effect to perform computation - perhaps condensing 1000s of years of computation into a few minutes, with the result encoded in which steady state it settles on?

Not older. All. It's a limitation of the file format, not the runtime. It's a common misconception that it's fixed in later versions, because Facebook ran into a very similar (but different) problem that is fixed on newer d

Hacker aged over 24 here. Sure, we all knew. But it's one thing to "know", it's another entirely to have tangible proof. Whenever I spoke about this to people 10 years ago the reaction was "there's no proof, yo

What is the burden on every smaller shop that operates in this country and manages to obey these laws? Without Amazon's economies of scale, it costs them far more per item than it would Amazon. Just because the absolute cost to Amazo

Counterpoint to "not practical": We have a dashboard at work that displays, amongst other things, the CI build status. For reasons I won't go into, we cannot change the HTML. We can change the CSS though, using Stylish. The

Filing a small courts claim in the UK is really, really easy, doesn't require a lawyer, and actually favours the little guy. I don't think we really need a SCSAAS system. Historically, legislating this kind of behaviour has had a

This made a lot more sense with the original title: "Airbnb to Out 124 Hosts to New York Attorney General". The new title gives no indication at all as to what this is about.

This really varies from phone to phone, sadly. When I plug mine in I am only given a choice of which protocol to use to give the host computer access to all my files (and it connects using the default one as soon as you plug it in).

Degredation as a DRM mechanism sounds clever, and lots of developers think of it at some point (and many games have actually done it). It's actually a really bad idea, though, for a couple of reasons: * Your support site will be floode
