Alternatively, I could suggest that CPU is cheaper than bandwidth, especially on mobile, so not sending a full html document with every request and just sending the required data and updating via JS makes much more sense for mobile. Althoug

That's not true. You get fined if you receive ANY broadcast TV without a licence, regardless of if you watch the BBC or not. That said, I don't see what relevance this has to the topic.

considering non-clean is twice the price of clean, I would guess non-clean includes "sending a message"/torture before the death.

I think you've missed the point. If your procedure calls other procedures, how do you test its functionality individually? How do you know if the problem exists in the procedure itself or one of the procedures it calls. Without DI in s

Went up to the top very quickly and now I don't see it anywhere on the front page. Moderator action or did it hit anti-vote-rigging protections for too many votes too quickly?

Really great. Struggled to get the last one on the same chapter. Might be useful to have a hint feature. Loved the demos, especially the webcam ones.. I'm still surprised by what is possible with 'javascript' now.

I don't believe I have ever seen a switch like that (UK) so your comment isn't universal.

The hyperloop is feeling like the segway at the moment. I remember the hype before the reality of the segway and everyone being disappointed when they found out it was just a slightly altered scooter.

Agreed, horrible interface - I didn't work out how to hide the banner. And the banner combined with the large font and big separation on the page made my reading feel really restricted - couldn't read it easily.

You can't really judge how often chicken poo on unwashed eggs has caused illness though, that would probably not result in salmonella, I think.

But the wiimote is not accurate at all. You have to watch the pointer on screen to see where your pointing. It's very difficult to get a perfect distance from the screen to make the pointing of the wiimote match up with the location on the

I agree. I see thoughtful posts from hellbanned users and wish there was a way to help them restore full posting status. When looking through their post history, it looks like one post that the community didn't like was enough to get them h

In the UK doors almost always open inwards. From the more public area to the less public area. I always figured this was for safety so you don't hit people in the more public area when opening the door. The comments on the linked site also

That's not always the case. For example, the independent movie "The Man From Earth", gained a lot of attention that it otherwise wouldn't have, due to piracy, leading to the producer thanking the pirates: http://torrentfreak.com/producer-t

I saw it in HFR this weekend. At first it felt "wrong" or "cheap" somehow but by the end I didn't notice the HFR except that the movie looked great. So it's something I think we'll get used to.

Like others have said. I want to know if there's any local suppliers before signing up. This isn't useful to me because I'm not in the UK currently, but my father would be interested, so I wanted to see if there's anything near him before I

Same, no problems at all. Was surprised at the negative comments but after checking again I can understand the ambiguity of ranking low for a negative item. I often have that problem with English speaking, but this made sense to me. I'd say
