If you're just doing it for web/streaming video, it'll be fine. If you do any gaming or videoconferencing, the latency on satellite puts a real damper on the "feel" of the connection.

I expect this will depend a lot on your frames - if the arms on your glasses are thick it'll be more inclined to squish into your head. That said I'm really happy with my Logitech G930s - I usually use them wired to keep the charg

Yeah. Liquor consumption is crazy when you dig into the numbers. From [slate]( http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/medical_exa... ), 11-drinks-per-week is the national average, but it's so top-load

Not always feasable. I run my email through google for my domain, and the IP assigned to my mail server is actively used to send spam (like, daily active reports on SORBS), so I can't even fill out their form to get it unblocked. As a

Sadly, it'll never happen. The original (no effects) film is lost so any remake would need to both erase/repair the old graphics, and then put the new effects on top. I've heard that the TNG remaster isn't recouping its

Spinning disks. If you want raw file access, your ideal filesystem is a giant key-value store that keys on the full path to the file. This choice means doing a directory listing will involve a lot of random access reads across the disk, and

Gotta go back further than that. ING Direct (Canada) peaked at 5% on a savings account in mid 2000, and was above 4% from when they opened up in '97 to April '01. https://www.tangerine.ca/en/rates/histori

"Active Hours" is such a stupid idea, too. I'm perfectly happy if my box has to reboot at 3am for updates, but I do actually make use of it in the morning as well as into the night, and as it shares some home-fileserver dutie

I feel like the real problem here is that the camera attached to your screen always seems to be centered above (or below), so you get a skewed looking-down-upon-you situation - either you're staring at a forehead, or the other person l

This issue wasn't overbooking - they had mechanical failure on the scheduled aircraft and had to swap in a smaller plane. The problem here was not detecting that the flight was _now_ overbooked after reducing the available seats.

Yep. Network effects. Best place to start a business is where you have easy access to a large employee pool for your specialty. Best place to locate yourself as a specialized employee is where your industry concentrates a large number of em

Using this article's logic, Jupiter is not a planet either (it has two swarms of asteroids hanging out around its L4 and L5 lagrange points).

That's probably just bad game design that you've run into. Done well, an "unlock" ability should either grant access to more space off a central hub (that you'd be returning to anyways) or give optional minor reward

Which is great, because you can pivot and expand on the question. Once they've got the comparison out of the way, you can bring up those issues and see where they grow their implementation.

On the bright side, it's seriously awesome that they're so transparent about salaries.

I sure hope one possible end-game is to re-skin it without the gaming focus and price it competitively to Hipchat/Slack. As soon as screensharing lands it'll be an across the board upgrade to Hipchat at my work (only missing featu

And yet, it seems pretty routine for the sales team members to take residuals on leads they bring in - it's just that it's a lot harder to quantify the effects that code changes have to the bottom line.

Recently read it on my phone, which tells me it took 27.4 hours, or about the same as Scott Lynch's first two Gentlemen Bastards novels (also a good read, for different reasons), or a bit longer than the first 4 Dresden Files.
