I think that "it either work or doesn't" only if the receiver has some kind of cyclic redundancy check before processing the signal. My guess is that very few digital A/V systems implement this. Proof of this is the weird sound you may hear

This trend is really depressing me. Most of the time it's cheaper to buy new stuff than to actually repair it. This weekend I was trying to repair some bike's wheel, some spokes (4) were broken and needed to be changed, I called the bike sh

Annnd another useless feature of Google Reader. I can't understand the way they decide how Google Reader evolves, I mean they just have to pick up one of the many feature requests : http://productideas.appspot.com/#16/e=22493 GR lacks man

I just noticed that I'm instinctively using 3-4 browsers too at work and at home on a single machine. At work I'm using Chrome for everyday browsing, Firefox/Firebug for heavy development and Opera for personal stuff (Gmail). At home I use

Could this phenomenon happen because of stress ? I've done several interviews where I was asked to code and I really don't think it's easy, because you're under intense pressure of doing your task right the first time and under a very tigh

It certainly feels like it wasn't allowed, no mention on the official blog, no moderation... If it is a spam blog I'm very impressed by the level of the details put into it.

I'm actually quite disapointed by Youtube's HTML5. I had great expectations, I know it's just the beginning and I'm sure it'll be better, but I'm closer to 80% CPU than 20% with my Macbook on Safari 4.

I don't know if it's just me but when I open a new tab in the background in Safari 4.0.4, the Flash doesn't load, it only loads when I activate this tab. Which is a great thing, I don't some awful audio coming from the flash. I don't feel t

I don't see any use of it either. The term "Leader" makes me uncomfortable in the first place, English is not my first language, that's why maybe it resonate for me as in : "The persons who rules the others". In my opinion "Top contributors

Firefox updates are pretty annoying, I hate to launch Firefox only to wait for him to update. I wish they could fix that. Chrome is great because he handles all this dirty job in the background and you can browse almost instantly. I guess F

I'm quite impressed by Facebook's friends suggestions, I discovered a lot of friends thanks to it. I'm not sure he received this suggestions solely on his emails contacts as I haven't allowed Facebook to access my email contacts and I could

Funny, it's working under my current configuration with Firefox but not with Opera and Chrome translates it in a Google search. Not the world's best URL shortener...

2. What they tell you: Buy a greener car The perfect examples of this myth are the Toyota Prius and alike, it amazes me how wrong they are. I've read that the production of these cars is more wasteful than the usual (because of the batter

Yes yes, I'm an avid GR user too and I can't believe how slowly it evolves. There's a lack of keywords feed filtering, feeds personalisation, items expiration, some way to archive items for later and on and on... My guess is that it's a ver

Not exactly, you would have some capital to start. If you start with 50 points you get 50 upvotes or 25 downvotes, plus it evolves every day from your visits and the upvotes you received. The main point is to force people to be more cautiou

1) I would be curious to see an experiment concerning the karma system, a downvote would cost you (2 karma) an upvote too (1 karma). You gain 1 karma per day if you visited the site, this means as you get to know the community and its codes

I don't think Wave will replace it, it's different purposes. They have switched their own support forums from Google Groups to a much more usable classical forum : http://www.google.com/support/forum Google Groups was such a mess, I never

I have the same as number 2. I think that good programmers tend to be introverts with a bit of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder amongst others traits. Those are clearly not social facilitators but they really help in the job when you have to i

I'm concerned by the fact that he allows himself to go to such a place without applying the precept "Leave no trace". In my opinion if you want to preserve wild areas like this one, it is very important to respect it no matter what. You wou

You never know ;-), but the main problem I have with this is that when camping or when you have some sort of outdoor activity there is one precept : "Leave no trace behind". More details : http://wikitravel.org/en/Leave-no-trace_camping I
