Out of curiosity, who was the card vendor? When my number was stolen my CU directed me to an online form with which I could dispute all fraudulent charges in bulk, and they were reversed two days later.

Everyone who cares about C already knows Microsoft's position on C99, as well as the bullshit recommendation of compiling C code as C++. And even if they did a complete about-face I doubt many would forgive them for being single-handedly re

Is 13 years later enough time to complain about Microsoft being unable to implement new language standards?

I still don't get the obsession with hidden controls. Why couldn't they have kept the start button, even with the current Windows 8 functionality. Instead you must guess that a hidden button appears if you move the cursor to one of two corn

You don't hear complaints because no one is going to find a bug caused by weak memory ordering without already knowing about memory reordering. In real buggy code, failures are so rare that most developers will never personally see a fail

Only the most expensive PowerMacs had multiprocessors; iMacs, PowerBooks, and iBooks vastly outnumbered those with top-end PowerMacs. Which also meant there wan't much point in writing heavily threaded programs unless specifically targeting

MyBook Essentials (pictured) use the same Caviar Green internal hard drive, with the same warranty, which is still priced $10 more on amazon.

That anti-excuse reminds me of one of the recent cases where Paypal screwed over a business for using the "Donate" button, because it should be obvious that only registered 501(c) organizations are allowed to use said button.

Even before that, start making mattresses flippable again. But a flippable + rotatable mattress means it could last decades, so of course it won't happen.

Are you using the same site I am? It's faster than it used to be but it's still one of the slowest sites I know of. Not to mention that they randomly break core functionality for months at a time.

Even if it was mainly about ads I do enjoy the mentality that responds to people saying "these ads are rather annoying" with "too bad, suck it up and check your entitlement"

Yes, it's not really possible with current products. But part of the point is that we should strive to make it possible; the original 6-button Apple remote should be the minimum and every additional button needs a significant justification

So... one of his key problems is that when (not if) things break, you need to learn more than you ever wanted to know about the low-level internals of an OS to fix it. And you say you've never had that had that problem; you should have a

A physical assault carries a high chance of being noticed, and unless carried out by law enforcement, a significant chance of being punished with jail time. So it's not something that has a high chance of happening. Additionally, it's hard

Well, the fact that x86 encoding is suboptimal is also a dead debate. If AMD had had the resources of Intel, or if Intel hadn't botched IA-64 so badly and actually licensed it to AMD, x86-64 would have better instruction encoding, no questi

The RISC vs CISC debate has been dead for years. Doubly so ever since we found the limits of scaling clock frequencies ever higher. After all, the RISC movement started as a reaction to the difficulties of scaling the architectures of the d

I figured Atom had hyperthreading because it was Intel's first in-order x86 core in over a decade, so compilers had forgotten how to schedule x86 code, so there were lots of stalls in the ALUs that a second thread could make good use of. Pl

In the US, there was never such a law. It was a term of credit cards' merchant agreement that merchants couldn't charge extra for credit card use. However, the recent Dodd-Frank Act limits that - merchants can give a discount for using cash

What does IE have anything to do with this? I was pointing out that from my perspective, the entitlement of web developers has gotten so out of control that disabling JavaScript is the best way of making the general web tolerable to browse.

I see it the opposite - website designers have decided that they are entitled to decide what my keys and mouse clicks do, among other immensely annoying things. In short, no you are not. Get over yourselves.

Everyone entering something different is just as valid as entering nothing at all for determining whether a word is identifiable. Even more so actually, since a null response has at least four distinct meanings that I can think of. (user to

One nice thing about recaptcha is that you know those cut off words don't matter (badly OCR'd) and can just enter gibberish for them. But it has gotten to the point that about half of the control words are unintelligible by a human.
