I've only stayed at places with good reviews as well. For the last one with the false location I can only think of a few possible explanations ) the users didn't look at the AirBnB map and only looked the instructions received a

I'm certainly hopeful this will lead somewhere useful. Intel tried with Larrabee but apparently couldn't get the perf they wanted, especially with comparisons to GPUs It would be great to know what the trade-offs are with this arc

Gorgeous pictures. I know next to nothing about this area but my first uninformed thought is as neat and cool as the pictures are how do I know this isn't actually a slum? As an example the Kowloon Walled City arguably needed to be des

On the general issue of if something like AirBnB should be allowed I'm mixed but on the specific of AirBnB they're an evil company in my experience. They aren't even trying not to be evil. They are trying to take ZERO respons

You don't have to overwrite the old header. Concat any zip files you want and feed them to conforming deconpressors and they correctly extract only the last headers files. If you didn't only look at the last header then you'd

Very cool. I think I'd love to be able to define which domains open in which contexts so if I click a link that happens to be to something I want in other context ... But that got me thinking just how effective will this be? If someone

I just wanted to say Thank You. It basically takes someone to step up and organize. If no one does it it doesn't happen. If someone takes the initiative and organizes a block party it's a huge step in getting people to know each o

And do those options clutter the ui? I use vlc. 99% of the time all I need is the standard ff, play, rew and the que bar. But I'm also one of those uses that uses many of the other buried features. If they weren't there I'd s
