It's very stable for me on Win7, I've had very few issues and none that I'd consider a show-stopper. I also don't think the game would have reached such large revenues if it was as bad as you suggest. Rather, I think you may instead be high

But wait, there's more! You can definitely do that; see the "Create shortcuts for other apps" section of this help page[1]. You can make a shortcut that can be used like any other Windows shortcut (say, in the quicklaunch), it takes on the

Also, just realized that doing so put's it in auto-hide mode (at least in 2010); when you click a tab, it shows up only long enough to let you select something, then it hides again. Great compromise.

We just "upgraded" to office 2010 at work, and....it still stinks. I admit that many Windows applications are very well designed, but the Office suite suffers from the worst of the worst -- whether it's the horrid options menus, where the m

Hah, very cool! We need greater adoption. Reporting things to a city entity (especially technology-related) is often an exercise in futility... with little-to-no follow-up to be had, unless you happen to get someone who takes ownership and

Great point. I cringe when I'm on some site and content gets posted that the site owners take issue with and remove, when in reality there was actually nothing wrong with the content -- it just didn't fit the preconceived notions of what

Would any of the CommonJS[1] "packages" specs be a good fit for them, or are they all too disparate? Is that even a concern of CommonJS? It seems like JS could use some sort of working group to address these types of issues, such as PHP wit

It's not that bad, really. Most people are using 5.3 and are either moving towards 5.4 or recently moved to 5.4. Those on 5.2 are probably stuck there for reasons outside of their control. And 5.5 hasn't even been released, so you can compl

IMO if there's a single social network to worry about [going evil], it's LinkedIn. It's a phisher's wet dream right behind genealogy sites, and the data they have access to is worth magnitudes more than your run-of-the-mill "social" data. S

True, but there's no delineation provided in the PDF files so as to ascertain which files require which features (via file extension or whatever), and so it might be impossible to tell if your particular reader supports all of the features

I don't do any e-reading, or else I might be more sympathetic. I'm all for high-tech, and do lots and lots of reading online, but....I like my books the old-fashioned way.

Yeah that's expected, but it's not expected (at least for me) to happen in a chat. But, I never use FB chat so I don't know -- does it also create thumbnails for links and such?

Yeah that's a good point, the # of those users is going to be high in that user sampling (black hats), but very low for most of the rest of the world. I think I used an anonymous proxy back in '02 to get around a forum ban or something.

It doesn't matter in those cases; it DOES matter for the 99%+ of the time that both the CDN and your site are working optimally. In theory, the CDN should provide the best all-around experience for users (caching, lower latency, parallel lo

by k3n 14y ago
Yeah, but if you gracefully handle those failures with local fallbacks, then the CDN's downtime is a moot point.

by k3n 14y ago
And that's why you have a fallback, to fully mitigate any CDN downtime (how little that it may be). It's like a spare tire in your trunk.

Full PDF support is a security nightmare[1], and PDF supports so much more than a simple reading program should need, which results in it being bloated, buggy, and drastically increases the surface area for attacks. 1. http://cve.mitre.org
