Actually missed this point about the FDA visiting on the tip-off, hence my surprise. The FDA can only respond with the information they have, so as it took the FDA actually visiting Castle (on a tip-off no less), they must have been lied to

30 years of $x million annual sales of essentially counterfeit product results in "up to" a year long sentence and $100,000 fine. Madness. Though I find it ironic that they responded honestly to the FOI request.

Whilst great info, unfortunately most of the sites that one would actually try to use this on don't accept addresses containing a "+" as valid. Another Google Mail trick is to use periods. Not as useful as the +, but for thos

Some must recall the drama that was the launch of Steam. If I recall, it was optional for CounterStrike1.4, but then required for CS1.6. The PC bunch were crying that they'd never use this DRM'd buggy POS. That must have been 16+

The argument I've heard for why steam requires a custom 2fa is to do with trading on the marketplace [1] The custom component makes sure that marketplace activity is valid (somewhat like the custom banking dongles you get that require

I got the impression that Yahoo's Smart TV platform was outdated, and being eroded by Opera's HTML5 platform. Given that this is pretty much all that is left of Opera after the Chinese buyout [1] it may well be a chance for Yahoo

Funnily enough I can get emails on my mobile, even when my landline is down.. Not sure if it is a complete outage, I'm having issues with many sites, but HN works fine - which usually points to a DNS issue cough

Whilst I agree with your points, I wouldn't conflate the remote pull over with the right to repair, other than as a reason not to allow it. As you say, if it is open source it may well be modified, and likely the remote pull over will

The UK has always had the "islander mentality". The development of a European Superstate would either have had to drag the UK along unwillingly (barring apathy), or happen without them. The positive I am taking from it all is the

It blew my mind when Lego Minecraft appeared a Christmas or two ago. I saw Minecraft as a digital interpretation of Lego; how meta that you can now get a physical interpretation of Minecraft. Simply having green and brown pixels[0] is enoug

It uses the iOS simulator, so that's likely the hard bit to port. Just noticed it doesn't provide the option for Android simulation, which would be more portable.

In that PR the browser is running AdBlock plus. I'm intrigued as to whether that would make a difference overall and whether there is any difference between the frameworks when using ABP. Difference is likely insignificant, but if Reac

Wouldn't be surprised if Firefox doesn't have all the relevant hardware decode licences (MPEG-2 in this instance). For a lot of codec related items support is dependent on the underlying OS, and I don't think Windows ships wi

Unfortunately not all CDNs respect the Vary:Accept header. I'm sure it's behind the proliferation of the .format extension to determine response type.
