I wonder if recent cries for the government to reform patent law is pressuring patent trolls to hurry up and try to cash out on increasingly obvious claims. All shell companies have to start doing it, because their 'colleagues' are ruining

I can confirm this. My scroll wheel is very easy to move one increment at a time, and repeatedly moving down one then up one increment results in text moving upwards about 4 lines per cycle. When testing on this site: http://www.javascript

Great idea, and well presented. For those new-year's resolution type of folk, being in the habit of keeping track of your daily accomplishments goes a long way towards helping you fulfill your personal goals. If you have success with this,

I don't like that I can't see how paddleover would work without installing the plugin. I bet you're losing a lot of visitors on that page.

There's nothing in this video that demonstrates the body scanner failing to pick up on something it should have. Is there an original video associated with this one that demonstrates that?

This is so deceitful. If they weren't trying to swindle people they would have named it "Tips and Tricks for Microsoft Word" or "Microsoft Word 2012 Helper". This product is not "Microsoft Word 2012" and they should not get away with naming

I imagine there's all sorts of motivation for this too. A dishonest security admin or consultant for LinkedIn might have had no traction in convincing managers that they should pay him to upgrade the security system. I can see rogue program

It's mentioned in the parent article: > You're going to need the latest hardware to get access to all that graphical power, though. The demo we saw was running on a top-of-the-line NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 graphics card, and we were told

What you gotta do is match up each bozo with another - forwarding their messages to one another and letting them tie each other up in perverted conversation. For bonus points, implement smart gender substitution, switching the gender of all

I only just occurred to me - are these self-driving cars expected to pump their own gas? Surely Google's not prepared to build a complete network of fuelling stations that are compatible with unmanned cars?

These are a lot of really good ideas. Think about how much people like clever and funny TV adds released to Youtube. They upvote them, favourite them, and share them with their friends. (Old Spice, Superbowl ads, those old Rube Goldberg car

This is a conspiracy theory, but what if there are bugs in it that they can't find and so they're open sourcing it in the hope that someone else will fix it.

Yeah I got the same impression as you - both sides did legitimate work, and both have the right to feel like their toes are being stepped on. They both seem to be tuned into this community too. In an ideal world they'd take it under advisem

I've been planning to buy both Amnesia: The Dark Descent and LIMBO for a long time. I've heard nothing but great things about both. Looks like there's no better time than now.

This reminds me of A/B testing. Sure, you may stumble upon a method that leads to a more motivated and productive staff, but do your successes have a reasonable chance to make up for the lost productivity when your social experiments perfor
