The parent is referring to the ability to disable the messaging, not the ability to disable secure boot. The only time the messaging is useful is when someone has unintentionally disabled secure boot. In this case they can go enable it agai

Thank you. Far too often it's the same story, over and over again. Whether it's ageism, anti-gay or anti-women it's always the same issue and the same discussion that comes up. Everyone laments at the situation and then goes

"Yes, the problem: the only way the content owners will stream tonights game to my computer is if it is protected somehow." No, the problem is that they think they reserve the right to control what your hardware displays.

"What is next, you are not allowed to run a certain program on your devices?" That's what software licensing decides. I can have perfectly valid executable binaries on my computer but if I don't have a license to use the

This is Canada but I don't think it's the norm (especially not in tech). 3 weeks is much more reasonable at a new job.

Seriously 10 weeks? We get 10 days here (no joke)..

The linked article explicitly states that the author has found (albeit anecdotally) that good engineers are very very productive in PHP. I've found this myself as long as you don't go writing code that sits in PHP's "hmm

Shouldn't this also be a really fast implementation since there isn't even the delay required to move items into/out of ram? Also what happens if the scheduler moves the application out of running state?

Or more importantly, to make it easier for the console game makers to port to Steam box since the controller will be the primary input device anyway.

What happens when the timer hits zero? The game just kicks out? Why not just set a timer on your smartphone and when it goes off turn off the kid's console..

We've used master/master shards in the past and they've been very difficult to manage. I'm not fully aware of Gizzard's capabilities so I guess the answer is no, because we weren't aware of it. We also needed s

Thanks for the reply. We have a high-write application and while individual writes aren't really that slow we have A LOT of them (we receive our writes off the network from a 20+ hadoop-machine cluster so they can send quite a bit of j

How high is your write load? We considered using it recently but used ndbcluster instead since XtraDB Cluster doesn't actually shard writes (iirc it only returns a write as "complete" after enough nodes report the write as be

I use the nvidia drivers and have the same problem.

Wouldn't that mean that as you're reading a comment it could suddenly start moving up or down the screen? That'd make it pretty hard to read the stuff tailored for shills/fanboys/antifanboys...oh you may be onto som

I clicked the link thinking it would be code examples and I had to guess the programming language...

You honestly think programming will become such a vital skill in everyone's job that it'll be taught along side reading and math to young children? Even at the high school level students are forced to learn algebra and calculus bu

Woosh. He was referring to Sony and their removal of Linux on the PS3.

Have they removed Linux as being supported? I can't find it on the supported systems page.

The specs only need to be higher if you want to run modern Windows on it. If Ubuntu netbook edition was more user friendly and more windows-like I'm sure a lot of people would've been very happy with a low specs machine that ran s

Even without a review process by making the device locked to their App store they put themselves in charge (and responsible) for these sorts of matter.

Most of the appeal of Percona (specifically xtradb over innodb) is only visible on the high loads of production environment. There's virtually no noticeable difference on your local development machine.

Lots of jobs for PHP devs in Canada. Definitely look in Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa, Calgary or (if you speak French) Montreal. Ottawa, Calgary, and Montreal have pretty cold winters but the living costs are much higher in Toronto and Vancou

I feel we'll see the same thing with the Wii U. Everyone is dismissing it right now and for good reason (lack of games). But Nintendo did announce at least 1 game for every major line they have running at the last E3 so I expect the Wi

Win32 is the only thing going for Microsoft on the windows side. They're far too late to the touchscreen party to dictate the tempo of UI design and thus they appear as a "me too" solution. The only thing they could possibly
