People continually try to use density as some sort of an excuse for the ludicrously under-spec broadband deployments in the US. Why do NYC, SF, Boston, Chicago, and LA all still have the same shitty service as the rest of the country? SF is

This clock is a "slavish copy" of the Swiss clock, down to the weight of each element and the presence of the red hand. You can't possibly say it's an 'homage' any more than running the Mona Lisa through a color Xerox would be. Edit: It app

I find it completely hilarious that Marissa is not dogfooding. I know that someone else said this earlier in the thread, but why is this on Instagram and not flickr? Come on, at least use your own damn product. The correct answer to the obj

That's primarily because it also supports sinultaneous USB OTG for some reason (likely Samsung's bizarre checkbox marketing team...) The GS2 supported MHL over the regular connector. I hope companies start developing MHL compatible docks no

MHL moves 1080p24 video and 8-channel audio over a micro-USB connector. The use cases for the 'dock port' in 2012 are docking in cars/alarm clocks/speakers/video docks and charging. MHL covers the first set, and any charger can give the ri

I think it is especially important to note that linear regression assumes that the relationship between the variables is, well, linear , and that in the real world, it very rarely actually is. At best, a big asterisk should come from any o

The TTL on tethered packets is 1 less than on packets originating from the phone. That's the easiest way, and one that most tethering solutions don't fix.

You can challenge strikes by paying $35 and you can only challenge one strike for "you misidentified me, you muppets" (even if the "independent board" finds in your favor!!) Seems about as fair as we'd expect from the MAFIAA to me. (see

The way to fix this is to do all your "backing" (which is actually pre-ordering, no matter what clever wordplay KS tries to apply) on an Amex, where chargebacks are decided by default in your favor and they go after the merchant on your beh

And that wheel isn't the "click wheel" which is the touchpad-surface for scrolling and the physical buttons for clicking. The first gen iPod had a mehanical scroll wheel and separate mechanical buttons.

You should call the cable company back and ask for the "lifeline" package, by that specific name. It only includes the local channels, but it exists in basically every franchise area and is generally $10 or less.

This is farcical reasoning. Apple chose to sue Samsung. They could have not sued them. Therefore, the problem is with Apple, who chose to be the aggressor in a bullshit rounded rectangle lawsuit.

It isn't an "appearance" of protection. NAT is the best thing to happen to security for home networks since their inception. The push to remove it with IPv6 and to force home users who don't care about these things to put their entire home

It is 15 minutes now. (Which is far too short to even begin to use a lot of apps like games that download tons of additional resources without mentioning it in the app description.)

Time is someone's most precious resource. Suggesting that they should waste it because "nothing they requested is of any consequence" is inaccurate. Your incredibly condescending tone doesn't help either. You could have just said the 3rd pa

The point of H-1bs is to depress the prices of labor for any given job. (Econ 101: Increase supply, reduce cost.) So, no, I'm not really interested in increasing the supply of skilled labor any further and driving prices for my labor any lo

He can't. The veiled mentions of "holds" on his records prevent him from transferring, because the University will not release a transcript until he submits to their punishment. No transcript, no transfer.
