You start regedit. cursor up/down, page up/down, or F3 to search, hitting enter to follow directories, until you reach the key. Hit enter on the key. The values will be displayed. Hit tab until you are on the key you want to edit

Yeah, that wasn't an attempt to remove keyboard navigation, that was fixing a painful error in keyboard navigation.

Screwing with a keyboard combo in Excel... like Shift-Space to highlight a row... is like an IDE deciding to swap the key-bindings for '{' and '['. You'd have entire accounting and marketing departments in rebellio

I tend to feel the same way. The medication is obviously useful in some cases and for some conditions, but there's also a pushback against the notion that it isn't the best solution for other cases and conditions. There are case

Then, why are you in this thread?

I bet half the devs who say 'we don't use it', probably have it on their site and don't realize it.

Conversion from jpg to bmp to jpg is a lossy process, so it may obscure the watermarked pixels.

Maybe cheaper tires for us in Oregon? Until they inevitably copy the Californian law?

They're doing that with Blueray games now, writing gigabytes of uncompressed audio for no particular reason other than to use up space and sucker the occasional audiophile.

That's probably the best solution. I think they could also get away with "gImp" Or even, take after GIF and pronounce it with a "J" sound, like "JIMP"

There are words that some British accents pronounce with an initial consonant while Americans it with a vowel sound, so accordingly Brits use the 'a' article while Americans use 'an'. A case where accent changes the gra

That's the plot of "Spock Must Die" by James Blish, the first Star Trek novel ever written. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spock_Must_Die !

>It seems obvious to me that these restrictions make references easier to reason about than C-style pointers, and therefore easier to learn. I came to C from Assembly, so maybe I'm in a different camp, but references seem to me to b

Could a utility be written that would provide configurable age ranges, so you could set different ages to be reported to different apps or domains? That could be useful.

Assume you have an area with a certain productivity and rent. Population and housing are growing at a certain rate. Now make a law that makes construction cheaper. Or make a law that makes construction more expensive. What happens to ren

If you do the same prompt with zero noise from the US and the EU, would the difference reveal the watermark? I suspect they'll roll out the watermark everywhere.

Just go to a fast food place. There's a strong tendency to have guys in the back cooking, girls in the front at the register.

One of those things is not like the others...

Yeah, I'm sure you're right. I was looking purely at orbital mechanics and gravity, but I think a four-stellar-mass black hole would certainly have other harmful environmental effects that would be felt at that range.

I don't doubt that those detectors are generally correct. Pangram seems to be particularly accurate. I see independent evaluations ranging from 97% accurate to over 99%. Frankly, I somewhat doubt those numbers, but I do agree that L

I tend to judge false accusations (when done negligently or maliciously) as harshly as whatever the accusations are of. Falsely claiming somebody is a liar is as bad as lying. Claiming they're racist, as bad as racism. Cheater, fasc

People are doing it, but not that much, because while it generates some pretty good five-second scenes, it fails terribly at generating any long-form video. And by long-form, I mean 'longer than 30 seconds'. I think what people w

Well put. We need to make lawyering more like programming, in the sense that it should be open to the everyman... not make programming credentialed and licensed like a professional guild.
