I am international myself and have seen international students cheating before. In one (really bad, no one cares) course that I took as an undergrad, everyone cheated. I was the only one who came to class and didn't cheat (or didn&#x27

As a foreign student, thank you. Among close American friends, some of them were acquired through my class projects. Although it might not be the most effective channel, it definitely makes a difference. I think the best the school could do

Also, Arial is among the few fonts that displays right without anti-aliasing (aka XP era). I know people who prefer crisp fonts and have anti-aliasing turned off on their screen for whatever reason. Georgia is inferior in that regard.

You are correct - I was wrong. "Tiếng Việt" works here without fallbacks [1], though. My theory is that the fallbacks are designed to work well for those popular fonts so it doesn't look off when the system falls back. The co

The article didn't really explain why they are bad, and why is Arial worse than Helvetica, and why is Helvetica Neue is better. It just went on with ramblings and snobbishness about some hinting problems and unexplained screenshots wit

Your crypto-enthusiast friends will be like "why is our conversation CC'ed to another number?" and you'll have to explain to every single one of them that it is a multi-device workaround. And then when the NSA decided th

Yes, you can carry the conversation from phone to several desktop platforms. It uses a Chrome extension to achieve that. You can't have two phones synchronizing yet, though.

Yes, you would have to reflash the BIOS to remove the nag screen but it should be relatively painless. Given you would have to open the machine for SSD replacement anyway, it is one stone for two birds

For anyone who just wants a basic and solid developer machine and wants a good, nice HD display, then you should consider at the Dell Chromebook 13. It is a fraction of the price for the XPS 13, fully compatible with Linux, has an upgradabl

As I have been involved with OpenWRT/LEDE and how they make builds to different devices recently, I realized that making unified builds are actually possible. OpenWRT has the same kernel and root image for many different devices that u

Supporting many devices is a double-edged sword. I feel what Google wanted for their AOSP code is to not support tens of different devices to make the code move fast. Part of what made CM valuable, I feel, was really the changes that made i

I think, though, that if the alternative is to trust my instincts (which I don't have), then I'd rather trust that -130 dBm strength signal. I think that my instincts are the secondary factor when I get lost in the forest, not the

Interestingly I have a Dell Chromebook 13 running full blown Linux and I am observing speaker distortion. It doesn't matter to me that much, but a bad driver could definitely cause damages to hardware.

Just as if you don't agree with Apple, you are welcome to use the alternatives. If you don't agree with GNU, you are welcome to use the alternatives.

That's better. There is some back-and-forth between the how much drive one has correlated with how far can one get in education, but I totally agree that you have a more direct narrative of what the paper claims.

Dropping out of high school isn't "doing everything wrong" and finishing college is pretty far from "doing everything right" so this seems to be a little bit of editorial journalism. From the paper: "Children
