I use this technique to get web layouts pixel-perfect with the mockup, just put both windows next to one another and superimpose them with your eyes. Works great. There are tools that do this by overlaying an image with 50% alpha but it doe

Santa just fills stockings in our house- one or two small toys, some candy, new gloves/socks. Everything else is from mom and dad. Kids are excited about the magic, not what they get from whom.

Not to mention, videos of "drones" are hot right now and get a lot of traffic, so if you can convince yourself that the lights you see in the sky above the airport are drones, you too can get some of those eyeballs

I guess so, to a point. Jimmy Kimmel wants you to feel like you're a part of a community because you watch his show and get all of his inside jokes, but he's not sending you fake text messages pretending to be your close personal

Interesting, I was hoping it would be more specific than "English" (e.g. "Southern Illinois"), but I'm sure that's just around the corner. It looks like this is an advertisement for a product to "lose&quot

why would you ever set a minimum price? If you're looking for a certain service level just have it look for that. Otherwise I'd be worried you'd miss out on a flight that fits all your criteria but costs $385 or something

I have seen that, and I came close to buying one of those Lytro light field cameras so many times (but thankfully restrained myself). Light field seemed like a huge obvious "way of the future" thing in the 2010s but with the benef

When watching 3D movies with a VR headset you have to keep your head perfectly still or the lack of parallax destroys the 3D illusion. Compare to a 3D game where moving your head actually lets you move through space and actually look around

Wait- why would the DOJ buy Chrome? Is that something that they do, buy things? I don't want the government to own my web browser. That seems worse than a private company monopoly.

Withholding a letter of recommendation maybe? If the culture truly is such that you get a job in your early 20s and stay there until you retire or die, then presumably a job seeker in their 30s would be virtually unhireable without a good e
