People claiming the internet is free...well its not. In the US the carriers like comcast make money hand over fist selling expensive plans for a pittance of bandwidth. That's where a huge chunk of the money is going.

The threshold were nice sites asking to be whitelisted that were using either malicious advertising services OR injecting so much crap that their site became intolerably slow (both from cpu and ram bloat) when using my atom based fanless sy

My niece and my aunt are coming to visit in a few days and there seems to be no issues. A lot of noise over stalling a few countries with serious terrorist and isis presence. Its going to be a few tough years as the media openly has the k

jpeg2k is far far more complex, hard to implement, is far more computationally complex. The quality of the results arguably aren't that much better. Revisiting the encoding of the DCT coefficients shows tremendous gains can be had th

trump stated that he's going to crack down on illegals and fix the legal immigration nightmare. If you read the article someone who comes here illegally seems to get preference over those who come legally. The system is currently scr

It's hard to tell what's going on honestly. The media is full out at war with Trump. They hate him (more than 90% donated to Clinton's campaign, and wiki leaks was full of collusion between the media and Clinton campaign).

5yr olds aren't supposed to use the tehnology...possibly can cause developmental problems with 3d perception.

pretty much the whole population who can see perceive color. about 15-20% don't see in stereoscopic 3d. I'm one of those and i like seeing this 3d trend die...

So the US gets involved in other country's elections. The obama state department got monetarily involved in trying to defeat nentenyahu in the israeli elections. Middle eastern money made its way to the clinton campagn. There's

Without Jobs I king of doubt that it will be them doing it. They might stumble onto some gem and use their vast hordes of cash to buy their way into an emerging market this time around.

It doesn't help that many of the people I personally knew who were mac evangelists (programmers) in the late 80s and early 90s tended to be sniveling elitists.

So its okay that Obama's administration messes with other countrys' elections but anyone else tries to mess with ours? It would be nice to have more details how Russia messed with our elections.

Oh yeah its real. Back 20 years ago I came down from Guenella Pass to Georgetown in Colorado and just about lost my brakes on those switchbacks just above Georgetown. One of the scariest situations I've been in.

If you look at fuelly you may see different numbers. I know that for my last car: honda accord, and my current car: kia soul, manual transmissions both get noticeably better gas mileage even though the MSRP claims otherwise.

I see no value in turning a whole industry into defacto civil servants. Doctors and nurses are people too who need to be able to choose themselves. I don't give a rip about insurance. Getting access to health care is what matters.

They built themselves a prime bird frying machine. Insects like heat, the birds follow them and voila, instant cooked meat! Extra bonus for this type solar.

wow...i've seen some ancient architecture in china and in no way does any of it stand up to what the romans were producing. not in quality and especially not longevity. And the western cathedrals are marvels themselves.

fossil scm is a dvcs built around sqlite. one executable, very few dependencies and atomic transactional safety. workflow wise its more like cvs or svn properly converted into a dvcs. great for small teams, integrated web server, wiki is

huh? The nazis were entirely socialist and ran a socialist agenda. That was their platform. Centralized education, centralized health care, strict gun control laws, the list goes on and on.

turbohf claims to be 4x faster than zlib's huffman coding and 2x faster than FSE and is a generic cpu implementation. Even if claims are only partially true and turbohf is a clean dropin replacement for zlib and licensing were friendl
