Doesn't Google make enough money at this point that they can stop clinging to the idea of not having any functional user support as a cost saving function? It is ridiculous that the only way to get an exceptional issue solved is to pos

I don’t get this. There is no reason for anyone to have a Twitter account. It is awfully arrogant of Twitter to assume that anyone would want to sign up for an account just to read their users’ posts.

There have been a lot of these lately, eg "build your own sparc machine" but it's a Raspberry Pi. Not exactly the same thing.

I’m glad you don’t have these problems in your European utopia. We still have a lot to work on here - there are race riots every year. Part of our legacy as a very young country that was built with the labor of imported black slaves. Other

Part of the reason for not allowing default apps to be set programmatically is that everyone else was abusive with this functionality. You’d install some 3rd party app and it would hijack your default settings to use their shit program. Or

It just seems confusing that bash is using the /dev namespace for this feature. Are there circumstances where /dev/tcp/host/port might be provided by the operating system and provide the same functionality? Or is th

I am unable to copy the SAM file out of that shadow copy path without becoming local admin. My regular user account cannot do it. So this might be overblown unless my environment is not standard somehow.

Right, if the UT has a mistaken idea of its position, it won't find the satellites that it is looking for in orbit, and simply not work. Alternatively, if it DID find satellites, then it will know at least what cell it is in (how big a

Did you not read the part where the salary dramatically dropped? Why is it justifiable to pay someone less for the same work, just because of where they live? If I find a way to produce the same output but with lower expenses, the differenc

Why on earth should you take the pay cut? That savings is yours, not the company's. If you take a pay cut for relocating to a lower CoL area, you are being stolen from.

The article seems to be saying that Apple has a decade-long lead in wearables over a list of companies that don't even make wearables. That is a clever trick for giving the article a bold title, but the result is a fairly uninteresting
