This may explain how they accidentally turned the auto update on a few months ago (that ended up forcing a few people to upgrade to 10). They were probably changing this from an Upgrade to an Update and it got out into the wild.

I think this is a bad decision but let's look at Googles options for showing content to users who pay for their service. Option 1: Don't show you videos from creators who don't sign it's deal. Option 2: Show you videos f

It's part of human nature. It's the old idea of an eye for an eye (which was originally intended to say if someone takes your eye you can't take MORE then an eye, but has been misrepresented as if someone takes your eye you

I just came here to point this out. You can see it on the website. I found out that last year on my birthday I was at the cheesecake factory.

Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face-to-face conversation. Avoid gratuitous negativity. gratuitous- uncalled for; lacking good reason; unwarranted. I feel that my comment falls into what I consider a fair statemen

Just based on the bad things everyone else is saying about them, I have to do some research and see if they are a good or crap company. They just have a lot of power regarding my passwords, and they are an unknown to me, but , in the other

Well looks like I'm going to have to convince, my wife, family, extended family, and friends that they all have to switch password managers now. I'm blown away, I've been a fan since day one because of it's simplicity a

I agree, I really like seeing the EVE development blog. There are a few blogs up about major battles where their servers are just being thrashed and how they were able to stay up. They also mention that their users warned them about this b

I've found it much easier to navigate Windows 2012, Windows 8 and Windows 10 with just the keyboard than past versions. Maybe because it has forced me to learn some of the short cuts but I also think the commands have become more powe

Isn't that true of anything that has automatic updates? Browsers, games, operating systems, etc. Does this mean that if we don't trust our government we should stop pushing anything that automatically updates?

On top of that you have the licensing which is going on, so if one of these systems get put into place they will most likely dominate the spectrum so that the others, if deployed, wouldn't even be allowed to transmit. Good answer by th

If you can look up skype Id by CID then this also opens your IP up to discovery. Which is a really big deal for people who stream (like my little brother). But I have no confirmation that is possible or not. Just speculation.

I'd be interested to see these numbers compared to the benefits offered by companies in each country. I know that in a lot of European countries it is normal to get more time off, the government offers more benefits, etc. I say this b

I was actually thinking that this manual would be great for people like my dad! He isn't a politician but it would help him figure out how to use it and having a manual he could use would make him much more comfortable getting started

Ha good point. I'm going to circle back to the comment above mine though. I'm going to change his $20 to $15 because that is the highest amount listed on their site. I'm also going to factor in that this only removes at mos

Which is interesting because of how many people mention that adds really only contribute a small fraction of that. From what I can find $1 per 1000 impressions seems to be about average for ad revenue. That means that if I go to 1000 websi

Obviously someone thought there was a sign, even the teacher told him not to show it to anyone else outside that class. I think saying that a homemade clock isn't a sign is greatly underestimating how the news is capable of skewing th

Yeah but you also don't want to be the admin at a school with a bomb where there were "signs a student was creating bombs before he went ape shit". I agree with the color statement, but not addressing the issue at all can be

If the school and the police had acted in the correct way this would be no big deal. Hey, we have a device here that could be a bomb. Police show up, call bomb specialist. Bomb specialist laughs in a few peoples faces, the school apologi

This may be a simple question. Can you take "snapshots" of AI and then load multiple robots with the same robot model learned in a classroom like this? I.E. Do the training with a prototype robot, then send the learned behavior

They are also only using fatal accidents and not all accidents. I'm assuming that truck accidents are more likely to be fatal than non truck accidents but I have no data.

Even though Microsoft has had some issues like this, I'm glad they are open sourcing their code. It's a huge risk for a company like them, but I'd take a poorly open sourced codebase, where they can fix the problems over clo

Is it just me or is the code in question basically commented out so it will never execute? They could still attribute this guy, but they included it in a public repo so they should either delete or acknowledge this guy. Edit: It isn't
