I had a professional development class in college where A, B and C players were defined. "A player" meant you would shoot-for-the-moon, process be damned. You would be a constant source of disruption. That can work in the short term, but a

It sure does! Google can only scan your email, calendar, etc. if you let them. Use outlook.com or Fastmail or iCloud or another alternative if you don't like the agreement Google requires.

Is tracking someone's car a crime? It comes off as a newer form of stalking, in the casual if not legal sense of the term.

Supposing that this problem does affect men and women alike, there is still good reason for GitHub to target one group and not the other. The deck is stacked against women due to sexism, e.g. kitchen jokes; this will take time to end. In t

LEDs emit light in a narrow frequency band, i.e. LEDs have intrinsic colors. White is not just one color, so your options to make white light from LEDs are: 1) Use multiple colors of LEDs, which will make the light source look white but obj

Email in may not be generally secure but it is still easier to plug a phone into a computer than to access someone's email account without knowing their credentials. 10 minutes could be the difference between someone copying your emails fro

That's a silly argument; you don't have to be the first to do something to be the first to make a difference with it. See: the computer GUI, Google's search engine, Apple's iPod, Apple's iPhone, etc. Google Fiber is certainly a big deal at

Ask Google to do it. If they can get books scanned, OCR'ed and available online, they should be able to do journal articles as well.

Many states do not allow ordinary citizens to record a phone call without the consent of both parties. This seems like it would have the same kind of justification.

If they sell at a >4:1 ratio in favor of the gamer version, it is still suboptimal. If I had to guess, I would say their gamer card prices are by and large good approximations of the value they provide. No idea about professional card

I did too, but Google instant changed things. Try this: 1) Set your search engine to Google (if it isn't currently) 2) Remove the search bar. 3) Press ctrl+k (cmd+k) and start typing. You'll be searching on Google's site, by far the best se

The cost of switching may be low but familiarity is a powerful motivator to stay. We saw this with Office 2007 drawing so much ire despite the ribbon interface being quite good. We're seeing it again to an extent because of the don't-call-i

Google Voice still uses regular old phone calls, unlike pure VoIP setups like Skype. A carrier agnostic phone number and free data-based SMSes must rankle carriers, but it does at least require voice minutes.

The trend is that iOS's market share is growing, albeit not as fast as Android's has been. As an aside, if you want a smartphone that is not humongous, your options are: 1) A low- to mid-range Android device, or 2) Any iPhone When was the l

Sometimes motherboards work fine with more than the advertised supported maximum. It would be worth a shot if you can try with borrowed or return-able RAM.

"declined to renew" would be IMO better than throwing in an all caps word.

1440x900 is just enough for me to use Sublime Text 2 in two column mode, or Xcode with the assistant editor. I do have to hide any sidebars for both to be usable. I stand by earlier post for, say, a web browser or email client.

I have a 13" Macbook Air with a reasonable 1440x900 resolution, and I can fit about 1 1/3 windows on screen, at best: a narrower-than-usual browser window and TweetBot. Laptop screens are generally not wide enough to fit two windows side by

Now come on, the reason they raised the bar from 25,000 to 100,000 is to keep up with the site's increasing popularity. They could have set the bar to 100,000 at the site's launch instead of 5,000, but no petitions would have reached the t

I love their solution to run apps side by side, by using the phone version for the smaller app. Android is the only other platform that could really do it, with both widescreen tablets and apps where the same binary can run on phones and t

I really liked SourceTree when I tried it, but my god is it slow on my iMac at work. It's still useful for complicated operations I don't want to (or know how to) do on the CLI, but it is not fast enough to be my main version control interf

I recognize that Git is complicated, but what part of the complexity is unnecessary? It seems to me that Git is complicated because version control is inherently complex.

Disabling javascript will let you avoid the paywall. Disable JS, refresh page, re-enable JS works if you can't disable JS on a per-site basis.

There is something to be said for a vehicle that works just as well for a trip to the grocery store as a trip across the U.S. The thinking is that I can have one car that does everything I need, rather than two cars or one car + renting.
