Same thing happened to me. I wonder if I'll get my image ? Wait time is 300 hours so it'll be a while.

Putting on my trusting hat, I would think that MS is only transmitting enough data to keep the machine running and virus free without any intervention from the non-technical people. So it would be a safe machine for a small company without

Maybe you should keep your enlightened racist attitude to yourself.

I wonder if you would mind if your boss got burned out writing pay checks and decided he/she needed a break from writing them for a while? Meeting payroll is a stress that can be so huge, it will make you yearn for the day when you cou

Not sure what point you could be attempting to prove? That there is nothing more meaningful in this world than writing code?

Wow, super depressing. Don't forget that there's more to this life than writing code, folks.

Proximity to a particular repair shop is obviously a factor, that's fair. Where I'm at I can be at an Apple store talking to a tech within 30 minutes. For a major problem, I can be walking out of the store with a brand new laptop

The configs for .net I would definitely consider part of the code - they can have some really intense setup for the project! If I was forced to put credentials in there, then I would ignore web.config, but commit a web.config.default file w

The biggest reason is in case the original source goes away (the author removes a particular version for example). A lesser reason is to make it easier for others to get up and running without needing the build tools. I tend to leave them o

There's a trade off to having a laptop that seemingly defies the capabilities of the day - they have to glue parts and remove coverings. Apple has been shedding ports & user-serviceable parts in laptops for years to get them thinn

It requires the original license text to be included somewhere, nowhere does it say you have to give a credit or thanks. The author says specifically in his article that what the other person did was perfectly legit within the terms of MIT,

I agree it is a jerk move, but I also think it's a good lesson in choosing the appropriate license for your work. MIT is clearly not the right license if you feel that others should give you a courtesy credit. Regardless of how rude it

It seems to me that they focused really hard on the consumers, but perhaps it was the cleaners who were their true customers? Of course that becomes a niche business model which isn't that desirable for investors.

The fear of looking stupid is probably what stops most people from ever doing anything interesting. I do see an occasional startup fumblebrag and think to myself "that was a stupid idea." But I rarely think anybody is stupid for t

The private area of the site does go into just about every option you could imagine - various drug combinations, creating hoods for inhaling gas, jumping off a bridge, etc. It pretty much comes down to the amount of risk the person wants to

Oh, I'm not sad for this guy at all - he's doing this by choice. The sadness is the fact that housing is so unaffordable. The irony is that these successful companies have driven up the price, but the average worker there can bare

This is unfortunately not true. If you do some research into it, you'll discover that it's not easy for terminally ill patients to end their life. Contrary to what most people think, sleeping pills are not reliable, nor are many l

I don't really know how to feel about this. I certainly respect the guy for being thrifty. At the same time it seems sad that an employee of one of the most successful companies on earth is living in a truck. I know this is a choice he

Can anyone who knows more than me say - is this the beginning of the end of the SSL cert selling business? Is there still value to buying an expensive cert from another vendor?

I don't see how that would destroy the clipboard any more than having a permission dialog when an app wants to access my camera? Every social app out there wants to access my contact list in the name of "cooperation and interopera

I'm a guy. I feel perfectly comfortable saying that guys can be absolute pigs.

Simple. Because the guy can be gone the next day, never to be seen again.

I would not be surprised at this scenario - her: do you have protection? him: um, sure. I'm taking that, uh, that pill thing. I can't help but think a male contraceptive that is not visually verifiable by the women is not entirely

Except the perl kids weren't cool (I was one of them) because they didn't write c++, and they weren't cool because they didn't write assembly, and on on!

UPS does the same thing, scanning for tracking numbers. I don't find it particularly creepy, but it probably should be a privacy setting just like location, camera, etc.

These really de-focused images are interesting for the article but if you can take a slightly out of focus image and make is laser-sharp then it is extremely useful for all kinds of photo and video applications. It's really tough to fi

Hehe, perhaps! Ideally whoever leads the team knows how to give customers what they want, even when they don't know exactly what it is that they do want!

Apple seems to favor apps with a good design, or simply a good use of some new feature in iOS. I'd guess it was something along those lines. Obviously design was a high priority, as they said, even inter-office documents had a high sta

That seems to be the case as far back as medical history goes. New discoveries are sometimes dismissed or even laughed at by the establishment. Perhaps the skepticism is for good reason because there's so much quackery out there. But i
