Even without any bezels at all, the 5"+ screens that seem to be the cost of entry to high-end Android devices would still be too large for many to use comfortably with a single hand. Though the 6s and Z5 Compact actually have very simi

His "Endurance rating per mAh" is a really curious measurement to use. Particularly as, despite it casting Apple's performance as degrading year-to-year, it still ended up higher than that of every other manufacturer in the g

Which? Apple won't adopt anything GPL, so BTRFS, XFS, JFS, etc--basically every Linux project is right out. It was almost ZFS, years ago, but Apple backed out when Oracle bought Sun. What out there is modern, good, and under a compatib

The money already came from the sale of the medallions. It isn't a yearly fee, which is good, since at 150m taxi rides per year, that would increase the price of each ride by at least $100. Though medallion sales also aren't worth

2ch has been, for over a decade, one of (if not always the absolute) largest discussion forums in Japan. No matter what the base system is, there's some serious infrastructure there.

Not really. A lot of the mods were current or former FYAG/FYAD posters. Only a few were banned, and the big anime witch hunts came much later. Raspberry Heaven was kind of a splinter from the semi-official SADCHUB. Lowtax never had any

Above you mention that this is with a 65" display from 10' away. A 65" television with a 16/9 aspect ratio is 56.65" wide. So: A 480p (DVD) image is displayed at 12.71 ppi. A 720p image is 22.59 ppi. A 1080p image i

Which is what makes these exploits so insidious: sneak an infected advertisement onto one network, even briefly, and you're now targeting who knows how many Internet users visiting legitimate, trusted websites. Honestly, one of the big

They're doing OS-level virtualization in Linux Azure instances, sure. They don't seem committed to OS-level virtualization in Windows, unless I've missed something. edit: http://research.microsoft.com/en-us&#x

BSD had jails for well over a decade before Linux containerization took off; Microsoft entering the space could very well be good for all participants. A rising tide, etc.
