Well, you're not missing anything. These arguments fall apart the moment 'stealing it' becomes part of the discussion. The correct way to protest a content offering in our society is to not consume it. That's actually tr

Probably, but what for? It doesn't seem feasible to support every common binary type, and are all common binaries even understood well enough to do this?

This is the sort of question that needs a blog post to answer, IMO. I have not had enough time with any of these tools to speak to the pretty, but I can speak to the ugly. The chief issues with these tools on Windows are package management,

I don't think you can. You can scrub your profile of identifiable information, change your password to something random and then forget it, though.

I guess it depends on what kind of company you're working for. I work for an enterprise software company, and if my situation were like yours, I would be looking around for either a new job or a house/apartment closer to the offic

You don't. This is another example of an extrovert assuming that introversion is just a circumstance that is both undesirable and fixable.

This article doesn't say anything about it, but I wonder how these businesses were handling their taxes in the first place. Helping you avoid these scenarios is one of the things a good CPA firm does.

This is a solid oxide fuel cell, right? What makes this one better than the bloom energy devices? Speaking of which, what happened to the bloom boxes? Are the big customers still customers?

The XFS-as-default change is surprising. Does anyone know what drove this? I don't keep up with XFS development on Linux, so I don't understand why it's a better choice vs. EXT4 for RHEL7 than it might have been for RHEL6. ed

I guess this was downvoted for the unnecessary sarcasm, but the linked thread was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this new github feature. A lot of unfortunate ignorance and anger-in-response could have been avoided (or at leas

I didn't get that this was supposed to be 250x more efficient, just that it required ~250x less energy and was potentially more efficient. It reads like there is a minimum amount of energy required to establish and maintain a laser bea

What qualifies the system as 'mini' anyway? I have a fanless i5 on a thin mini-itx; it's a sandy bridge i5, so it predates this by a couple of years. The case is not nuc-sized but it's pretty small and thin-itx only.

Yes absolutely, especially on a Windows system: no post-boot lag, no lag due to paging, bitlocker overhead can be eliminated depending on configuration, etc.

Thanks, I didn't see that. Upvoted. I also didn't see the 'subscribe and save' link for 10% off; the prices above are not fair to regular Ensure, which is basically at price parity with Soylent. Ensure Complete is more e

by gnoway 12y ago
The cost of a serving of Soylent varies based on the amount you've ordered. The cheapest it goes for is ~$3.04 per serving - $255 for a monthly shipment of 28 days worth. The 'buy online' link from the Ensure page you posted

A lot of our developers use GitExtensions and like it. I don't personally like or use it, so I am not sure why it is preferred.

Yeah, keepass2 works w/ mono. I have it installed on an xubuntu system. There's an official package (in universe). keechallenge is also supposed to work w/ mono. That said, at least on my machine the fonts in keepass2 are ren

It can write over itself, but does so in pages which are typically larger than the amount of data you want to write. So you have to find a page to write, read it, modify the data in memory, erase the page, then write to it. I think the page

In at least one US State, your property taxes are different if you're living in the home vs. renting it out. In my case, losing the homeowner's exemption would almost double my property taxes. I'm not sure if you get to deduc

I think the point is that if there's a bitcoin miner doing 2GH/sec for $19, the operation is cheap.

This is not true. Unless something has changed recently, college football on ESPNU is not shown on ESPN3. This has caused more than one game I cared about to be (legally) unviewable for me.

Can you explain this? Is it because you don't want your enterprise customers to see the pricing, or because the pricing will be dependent on the customer, or something else?

I have not, and I ordered more. The vegans all got their orders first, so the gp could be vegan. Also, some people like Lee Hutchinson at Ars got their order more quickly because they are press and/or work for a business Rosa Labs (Soy

I can't tell if this is a serious new thing or if it's really intended to mock the "verifiably (pseudo)random" terminology, or both.

I don't think a company helmed by the inventor which actually sells a product based on the patents is a patent troll. How do you know the company is failing? And why would that knowledge lead you to believe both that their inquiry was

I'm a lot more curious about what the point of this is. Beats is about more than just headphones - they have the branded audio systems in some laptops and I think phones - but I didn't realize any of it was technically compelling.
