The article is quite superficial, so not much unless you were clueless to the beginnings of reddit. That said, a lot of things are actually out of your control. You can't make everyone like the thing you want to work on and people often don

He wanted to remain together just for the children. It's pretty safe to conclude he would not have done so if he had no children and that her presence is detrimental to him in some fashion. The terms listed are harsh, but they reflect his p

Blame both laptops and consoles. The reasoning is the same: both have less powerful hardware and developers want to maximize the availability of their game.

Play with a time increment per move. I play casually at work with 2 minutes on the clock and 5 seconds per move.

One of the main purposes of SSL is to prevent someone who may control the route from server to client from eavesdropping or injecting their own data, so the article assumes this situation: only the server and client are trusted. It's trivia

"is broken" equates to "allows or encourages something that wasn't originally intended". That's an apt description of the patent system and the current situation.

There's value given to a cause if someone important endorses it. Sure, a wealthy individual can write a check and cover the entire amount with ease, but why should he/she? You won't be rich for long if you hand out money every time you're a

The referenced post brings up a good point, but for many purposes (including your event) it's irrelevant. If your guests are likely to be on facebook, then facebook is a perfectly valid choice.

If he's cautious enough to do two-factor auth, he probably doesn't leave his accounts logged in. Plus you have a whole lot of other problems if someone owns your personal machine.

I'd say it's because you consider the 'GREATNESS' of a discovery is correlated how well it answers a simple question that almost anyone can come up with. Evolution is a great answer to simple questions about life for anyone willing to accep

Of the choices, I'd go with 2X24" since having a second screen for non-essentials, searching the web for info, comparisons is nice. I wouldn't worry about 27" being too big. I'd even go with a 30" for a primary and tack on a secondary to fi

It depends on the screen. A cheap glossy screen might scratch easy, but something like a macbook screen probably has a pretty good anti-scratch layer. Glossy screens tend to get dirty easier, but also clean a bit easier with readily availab

I play FPSs very often, and a glossy screen really has no merits unless you are playing in the dark with no other light sources to reflect. I'd much prefer a matte display with good color reproduction.

Yep. There are way too many other factors. Many people who pirate may never have considered paying for the material in the first place, and pricing would probably be quite different if piracy wasn't ever an option. This is just more finger

This seems like the right choice. As nice as it is to force code to make explicit distinctions between the two methods, something as popular as jQuery shouldn't cause code breakage in a single update. Deprecate, hint at the better way to do

Wow, looks great. A few more years of speed ups, a bit more bandwidth, and better client side web storage and we'll be playing multiplayer FPSs in our browsers.

I think the version disclosure here was less of a "This version has a bug" and more of a "The latest version has a bug." It's a lot safer to tell people which haystack the needle is in than to give away the needle anyway.

No. While there's lot of value of offering more courses that teach the key aspects of software engineering, I can't see it ever being better than the experience at an internship at a real company, which an any serious industry-bound CS stud

The cleaning is the biggest thing. I've seen this in a few places and there are always red and blue tints left over from erasing. Old writing tends to be a bit hard to take off without some kind of liquid spray.

There are a few grease monkey scripts that the same thing. I wrote my own that does this and also fetches more results to fill in the gaps left by the "This site has been blocked" entries, but sadly I forgot to back it up before I upgraded
