   The only thing that matters is that it's against the law to sell a broken product and not give any kind of refund. You can't say that because it may be relatively cheaper to buy from Steam that we as consumers should just metaphor

   I don't know about everybody else but I don't use wiki as a verb, it's a noun in my vocabulary. I'll say "Google it" but I won't say "wiki it" or "Wikipedia it." I'll say "Che

   This is not the same reason that my latest phone upgrade was to iPhone. I always root my Android devices so that I can get the latest OS when I need it. For example, my Galaxy S2 is not 4 major updates behind as this chart says, it's a

   Yep, I like the way it tells me how long my journey to uni in the morning is going to take.

   Seems like they're spending a lot of money on the campaign. We're getting local radio station adverts here in Glasgow, Scotland. Are they placing them on radio stations everywhere?

   I'd make sure I finish the CS degree with a good classification as your job is just a job and with a degree you can do more than just code for a living.

    I will eventually, yes but I only just bought a PS3 and have quite a large catalogue of games that I still want to play on PS3 and Xbox 360, even though I've had the 360 for 4/5 years! I've always been a gamer and even though

    This comment (simonw's) should be the downvoted one and not its parent. Edited for clarity.

    To me this clearly just looks like a plug for the guy's friend. Hardly an interesting article.

    I used to work at night when my son was just born but he's 2 now and requires lots of my energy so I'm too tired to do anything but sleep at night.

    > it's irritating to me that this article is using weight and mass interchangeably. The article doesn't mention mass at all and it is true that if a stationary object is losing mass it is also losing weight.

    I'd say it's not important at all any more. Users will type a web address - at most - once into their address bar then they only need to type the first letter or two. Sometimes a user will just search in the address bar or directl

    I have Windows 7, Ubuntu and OS X running on separate machines that I use almost daily. Windows 7 on HP laptop (procured (wink) from my wife) for taking to university. Runs my CFD and CAD software which only run in Windows. OS X on Mac Mini

    I try not to be a trend-following coder. I stick with what I know, what works and what seems to have the most documentation available. Java, PHP, Python, C, Obj-C and C# are my likes.

    I got this on my iPad this morning (it's 9am UK time) and, since I was drinking last night, I thought I must have tried to do a restore while I was drunk. Very glad when I discovered other beta testers had the same issue. A quick jump

    Good on you John, best of luck. I'm going to be applying for engineering PhD programmes by this coming January and I'm in a similar position to you: 28, wife, 2 year old kid, trying for another, etc.

    I think, if the kid has a phone or a tablet, building a quick and simple app for his device might make him think that programming is cool. Get him involved in the process, build a fart app or similar, getting him to make the noise and recor

    When other people were around, on Windows machines, press the shift key rapidly to make that Sticky Keys beeping sound. They'd always be well confused about the sound!

    I don't know if I missed something but what's the point in this? Couldn't I just build a little x86 machine and stick x86 Android on it, for cheaper than the reward levels in this listing? Maybe it's not intended to be u

    Of course I'm referring to the App Store as that's what your comment was about. If you want to publish on the App Store you need to make sure your app can't be thought of as 'limited' as then the reviewer could reje
