Is there a Microsoft store that you can visit with this laptop? I have heard they provide free tech support even to computers not purchased in store.

This is interesting, but I think there needs to be an option that takes the next step. While this journal is for psychology only I would like to see a broad Journal of Negative Results . This would help limit repeated, failed experiments,

I agree that it was a little too hard. I would also show the ingredients to mix colors in the first few levels.

Thanks. I think I can probably get a talk out of that at an upcoming lab group meeting now.

This is for contrast detection which is used by older/cheaper detectors, and specifically not in the iPhone 6, Galaxy S5. Contrast detection is why my iPad (4th generation) can be seen to visibly scan through its whole focus range befo

I understand how that works given a lens (or pair of lenses) and a long standoff, but I have not found any information on doing this at the focal plane in the way that Canon does with the AF pixels, and that new phones do (ie iPhone 6). Doe

Sort of. Its important to note that there is a difference between what they restrict in the way of internet traffic, and what they sponsor in terms of allowing access to specific content over the internet. The services that you log into

I use "What is Jack's name?" on throwaway registrations that let me ask my own question. I agree that the sites that don't let me do that are probably trying to protect me from myself. Not letting me include the answer i

You shouldn't have to update it manually. Isn't there a good way to pull the current price from amazon?

Your resubmission actually counts as a single upvote on the previous submission. I think this is in place to prevent too many duplicate stories.

I agree except for life insurance. Most life insurance (at least a whole life policy) is a way to pass on wealth tax free, rather than a real insurance policy.

The average US household has $15k in credit card debt. A mortgage can be a sound investment, but paying over 10% APR on credit card debt is almost always a bad decision. http://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/credit-card-data&#

I like the earning potential argument, and I also consider the useful life of the products I purchase: A canoe bought now has a long lifespan, and provides several years of enjoyment that will be lost if I wait to purchase the same thing. T

You may view your value based on your skills alone, but the employer is likely trying to hire you for the lowest rate possible that will keep you happy and make you likely to stay. The local cost of living does play into that partially beca

If you are going without health insurance check on your car insurance policy. Mine does not cover my own injuries because I have a good health insurance plan right now, but you might want to add $100k of driver/passenger coverage to yo

Can you share what plan you use? From my experience no-contract plans usually have some issues like no off network roaming. Maybe this isn't a deal breaker, but it is a different level of service.

It is actually my trackpad not the iPad that uses two finger scroll. I assumed they were the same, and I guess I don't really notice how I scroll on the iPad. I am sure a two-finger scroll will work, but it is not the native recommenda

It looks good now. Next time I will try your support link instead, but I am glad you saw the comment and got it cleaned up. In the future it shouldn't be too hard to find someone willing to support and a good open source project with s

This is trivial in a native iOS app: you just look for two touches and call that scrolling. Does the framework you are working with expose all of the touch events?

I always find it hard to take things seriously when they are written in poor english. "Will coming soon" makes me worry about the quality of the rest of the project, maybe more than I should.

I am torn. I think every student should have the option to go to college and they should not be limited by their parents' resources. I also think that not every student should go to college, at least not a standard 4 year university. M

I don't think it needs to distinguish between drivers. Your kids probably should raise your rates if they are driving poorly.

It is disappointing how few people realize the cost of attending college, and most families who make >$150k will never know how much other people pay to attend school. The financial aid system is actually very good at most schools. Two e
