Always had problems with this in the old days with intel stuff when I used to overclock. There's a reason I don't overclock anymore...

mp3's are the jpeg of the audio world. Maximum compatibility with any and all ancient electronics, and now totally free. I don't think we'll ever be rid of it. And really that's fine because at high bitrate mp3 is ver

Microsoft dealing under the table with OEM manufacturers, forcing none to reveal any details of the deals is absolutely a prime example of abuse of their monopoly position in the OS world. A shame they never convicted of these deals.

And the politicians who make the decisions to run up the debt have zero skin in the game. They just get to spend other people's money. In many cases it goes out the door as political payoffs for getting votes.

Lower the taxes and don't let government get their hands on it at any stage of the process. This smacks again of redistribution of wealth and I'm totally against this.

Or to put it more succinctly, deterministic behavior. Important for anything time(r) critical. You don't want a GC pause to hit at the wrong time...

Yes, take the EIT and several other tests and you become a certified engineer.

People abuse debuggers (I see this esp with windows programmers). It's better to write test drivers and simulations to force the breakage. If this is how debugging is done you'll enhance your test drivers and simulations. Just

I only got hit by that recently. A few of items in my "Save for later" list dropped price one day early this month. I purchased them on a whim one day without thinking too hard...one item was successfully shipped to a totally di

wireframe resize and move is the easy answer for reducing application resize events and display server spamming. This is a core problem I've always had with enlightenment window manager, it forces opaque resize/move no matter wha

amiibo's are a lame money grab by nintendo. I see zero problem with using an NFC hack to get around nintendo locking access to features already in the software you bought from them.

uneducated people here. obama pushed the flawed rule in just before leaving office just to evoke this type hysteria. the way things are now is how they have been forever.

I've used "elvis" in the past as it has good syntax highlighting. I'm not seeing that as part of nvi's feature set.

A serious problem in the US was that regulation demanded clothes washer lids be locked when in operation. This led to forced electronics on clothes washers starting several years ago just to handle the automatic switch. I know Speed Queen

Except for the private data part, I found this not very constructive. Too political. IMHO biggest problem with the web itself is snooping, tracking all driving an insane amount of bloat which clogs the internet. Any extra bandwidth or ho

I wouldn't mind having a 24" or 27" for coding use. All those years of having active pixels (and phosphors) blasting my eyes can't be a good thing. An issue might be getting good quality ambient lighting to use with a

Considering NYT, CNN and Politico were all implicated via wikileaks for directly colluding with the Hillary campaign I don't blame Trump one bit. The mainstream media needs to be reigned in an not represent one single political party

the media's knives are out against trump. things that were hohum under obama or clinton all of a sudden become a huge scandal under trump. the media needs to report the news, not make the news or be the news.
