I don't know what the limit for `for` loops is, but Excel has some limits to nesting of flow control structures like `if`. For example, you cannot nest `if` statements more than seven deep. I suspect the parent poster is referring to a

I leave it on all the time. I don't want to be bothered flipping switches when I want to use a feature. My phone is paired with my car, and I frequently use Airdrop to share photos and videos.

I can tell you right now that you will find a way to tackle all these problems. I know this because of the way you respond to criticisms of your work. There's not a single hint of defensiveness in your response. Kudos to you for seek

It is a stated goal of the JRuby project to meet or exceed MRI performance. The team will actually accept issues/bugs if you can provide a (well structured and isolated) benchmark illustrating a performance deficiency relative to MRI.

Where risk to human life is concerned, each individual's perception of the risk-reward trade-off involved in regulation will vary. Evidence of this can be found at every airport in the country. So I can see where you're coming fro

If the helicopter strikes the drone, or vice versa, it could cause the helicopter to crash. Think of it like a bird strike, which are also a problem for aircraft.

True. However, the Ariel Atom is an lightweight, open air (no roof at all), tube frame, track-day car. You're well advised to wear a helmet while driving the Atom. The Tesla is a 4-door sedan that you could easily use to pick up busine

That's the primary problem with using Skype for podcasting: you have no control over codec selection. When Skype detects network disruptions, it automatically changes codec to reduce bandwidth usage. Granted, if your network cant trans

A better way to look at it would be: What is the Google Car's mean time to error, resulting in a collision with injury. Then compare the same metric for humans. Otherwise you've set the bar at 0% error rate, which is unrealistic a

I think you're on to something there. Poor range is the complaint I hear from many owners of sports sedans/coupes. Chris Harris (a well respected automotive journalist) listed this as a chief complaint about his E92 M3 (the V8 pow

I've not moved VM's between Windows and Linux, but it works fine going back and forth between OS X and Windows. The only caveat being that you have to re-visit the VM's settings for things like host volume mapping and especia

Heh. This is the least bad thing about IE. The worst thing MS did with IE was implementing proprietary, and very aggressively protected, solutions to common problems. Developers, excited about the new features, rushed to support what they

I wouldn't say better. More of a lighter weight alternative. Fail2ban can do lots of stuff. You can define fail2ban rules for any service that writes login failures to a log file. Sshguard, on the other hand, endeavors only to monitor

What's "legal" is determined by Federal, state, and local code. I can't imagine there are any laws against this kind of thing. It almost certainly violates Facebook's ToS though.
