Plugins are not security holes! Sure they make it slightly more accessible to e.g. steal browser passwords, but you can always inject code into other processes to do such things.

Probably because of the DPI settings for your screen/desktop. Win7 defaulted to large DPI for me because of the pixel size and when I opened IE8 it was at 125%, too. After changing the DPI setting of the desktop it was 100%. Of course I don

I'd guess that other people watch porn exactly as long as they get "excited" enough to do something I don't describe here. After this is "done", there is no need to watch more of it for at least the length of the refractory period, but bett

Do you type the word in or do you use copy and paste? I always force me to retype words that I look up (e.g. using dict.leo.org) to at least partially commit something to memory.

Is this using LibreOffice on the server to convert DOC to PDF or SVG or flash? Is the source code available?

There's one simple solution for that: A hosted version. Too bad they don't provide that. I wonder how many versions of FogBugz they will still release as hosted version before they only offer it hosted.

The tool shall clean up unused cloud instances, e.g. AWS. To me this sounds like a really bad idea: If you don't log in after 3 days, Janitor Monkey will delete that EC2 instance. But Janitor Monkey would be a great companion to Chaos Monke

Has someone found out in the meantime whether it's possible to put an W520 replacement keyboard into the new W530? I heart the key mappings in the BIOS would be bad, but it would fit physically at least. But there was no real confirmation.

The problems with Vista are in no way comparable with the problems in Windows 8. Microsoft did only kill minor great features with Vista (like Shell column handlers, e.h. revision number with TortoiseSvn) but not big important things like t

Of course what Zynga created cannot really be respected as or compared with proper games, but it's still sad that it's gone. How will the Moma put games like Farmville (which are an important piece of history of computers and FaceBook and s

Lua does not provide integers, too. From their mailing list I have learnt that the IEEE rules guarantee, that e.g. doubles have absolutely now problem representing 32bit integers. You write the same here. It seems to not be intuitive, but I

From what I saw in IIS logs on an Exchange server and in MAPI stores, every EAS client registers with the Exchange server and creates a folder there to track its's state somehow. So Google can surely change their EAS implementation to not r

It's really sad what happened to the TPM! After all the initial uproar the TPM was designed to not be able to enforce anything. It just sits there passively measuring e.g. your boot loader and BIOS and it only unlocks the secret key to your

ID seems to have a completely different idea of licensing technology than other companies: Just don't. As physics engine they even don't use Havoc etc., but just wrote it for themselves. Seems like all their technology is in house, which is
