   BTW, post like this (but much longer, with namy examples, and, alas, in Russian, which is unfortunate, as target auddience must be English-speaking) was written by my friend in FaceBook. Post has been blocked in 6 hours for "hate speec

   Both cards don't have words "debit" neither "credit" on them. I need to be really careful to use right one, as they are virtually indistinguishable. Yes, from my point if view one is debit and one is credit, but I w

   How could I know are my card credit or debit from system's point of view? I have two cards in my bank, both are exactly same MC cards, embossed, and all (not some Maestro variation). One card is linked with my current account — I have

   I hope it could be extended to retrieve tags and titles from IPCT/Exif. To rename files to photo titles is not very viable and scalable solution, IMHO.

   To be honest, I read only ~75% of comments, but I'm very surprised that [almost?] everybody discuss postgrad's salaries and conflict with university and is it «free market» of employment as TAs and scuh/. Why doesn't any

    I dream, that, maybe, sites which have something like "news feed" could export content not only in human-readable HTML/CSS/JS but, maybe, some machine-readable format too? And such plugins, software products and extensio

    To be honest, optic is soooo much cheaper than 10G-T. I've upgraded my home network to 10G in parts (not each link, but critical ones: for NAS and for my workstation) and everything is a lot cheaper with optics. Switch are much cheaper

    a) DH scheme was invented specifically to solve this problem. And, yes, I could pass my public key via other means, which is not as convenient as e-mail. Including paper card in anti-tampering envelope, is I'm paranoid enough. b) I&#x2

    It is not problem of protocol. It is problem of user agent. And, yes, all webmails is incredibly crappy user agents. Stop using webmails! On the other hand, UA (for any protocl) which will not allow copy'n'paste from is crappy by

    It is only half of the story. I was almost sure, that ECU and Infotaiment runs on different CPUs under different OSes. Question is, what do they share? Same bus? Some memory area? Or only something like I2C? I could imagine situation, when

    Question is, how do they talk? For example, if they have shared memory on same bus, it is BAAAAAD.

    I have never used "AI Curated playlists", and I'm listening to music only by full albums (no shuffles, no random, nothing), because one unit of my favorite music is album, not track (still). But I don't understand vynil

    I can not disagree with you more. I have been a software developer for more than 25 years too. And it never getting boring. Oh, should I say "globally-boring". It becomes "locally-boring" from time to time, each project
