Contronyms are what you're referring to. Indeed, flammable/inflammable, also sanction/sanction (permit/punish) and other examples such as fast/fast (going quickly/held in place). Still, I do find "I could

I couldn't agree with this comment more. If my memory serves me correctly, the next step up for me, in terms of being blown away, was when my dad gave me a Sound Blaster card (the very first one released, which was 8 bits, from Creativ

Regardless of how far we've come with game engines and dev kits, RAD tools, open-source engines which deal in 2D/3D, sound and music creation frameworks etc etc, I can't help but admire the hell out of the people who can actu

Let's face it, the AVP is absolutely necessary for any dev who is truly serious about creating quality apps for the AVP. Those apps might not take off just now, but in a generation or five, the pioneering app creators might be laughing

Sounds like something you can have or enjoy in real life, and without having an expensive 600-650g weight on your head. (I do like the idea of virtual postits, mind you).

A single Thunderbolt (or HDMI) output. Then it could double as a Mac Mini on a desk. That would help justify about 1k of the total spend. I know it sounds a bit ridiculous, but I think it's less ridiculous than a 3,5k (minimum) face co

I've said this before, and I'll say it again. If it had a Thunderbolt out, or HDMI or something, that it could sit on a desk and double as a Mac Mini, for example, I think it'd be more 'keepable'. Most of my friends

Very informative. I only have one small gripe: I find that the 'Papaya' naming is somewhat unspecific, and somewhat ambiguous. I would have called it 'Wombat' for clarity, but overall I think these guys know what they&#x

Good lord, my price is €12.99 /month (Germany). I guess that's what Google calculates as the purchasing power parity exchange rate, but credit to them, at least they're taking that into consideration.

I'm a bit puzzled as to why they did not include at least one HDMI output. Given that it has a fairly impressive hardware spec, it's not hard to imagine someone buying this as a device which could be an face computer when desired,

I can explain, a bit, as I recently did a bit of research in this area, particularly Section 202 (Section 202a, Section 202b, and Section 202c) of the German Criminal Code (Strafgesetzbuch, StGB) which addresses the unauthorized access to d

+1 totally agree. My fridge is full of healthy stuff, and my pantry has a lot of of this sort of comfort food. Every now and then that 'instant spicy ramen' craving kicks in and I go for it.

I keep a supply of those. Both the "Hot" and the "insane" (I think they call it 4X hot) variants. They are great. I also found that they sell the sauce in bottles. It works to mix one packet of those with 100% of the sau
