If you want to modify a copy of the file, before you start your modifications you simply choose File -> Duplicate and it opens the same document but with a different name. What if you only decide that you want to save as a different f

In that case why can jaywalkers be charged with the crime of reckless endangerment in the US without anyone killed, or hurt? Reckless endangerment in Nevada occurs when someone allegedly "neglects any duty imposed by law in willful or want

Especially given the recent fuss around Ouya, I wouldn't be all that surprised to see valve have a go at a high powered linux flavoured console.

Nobody cares about diaspora because it is poorly executed and the front pages look like a business pitch. Also, my guess would be that whatever kicks facebook off it's perch will not be a copy of facebook. It will be something that at first

There is sponsorship and then there is instituting a ban on selling chips and using personal wifi. One does not need to follow from the other. This level of exclusivity is not something that should even be on the table to purchase, as aspec

Which loops back to what I was saying to start with, which is that is a business and design decision that it is completely fair to criticise if people want to. Craigslist have decided on a strategy, and it might go well for them, or it migh

Not when you have an executive that can outpace the rest of government on anything with the word security attached to it, so that it can do stuff like drag you into a war before anyone else can even get their boots on.

Given how ridiculously easy it is on most hardware to install a second ubuntu partition on a windows box these days, I am not sure that is really too much of an issue. Also, the least hassle I have had with migrating people to linux has bee

Well, that would make no sense in comparison as having a certain level of open API access is not the same thing as giving away your entire business. In fact, if you do it well, surely it drives costumers to you as it widens their available

PC games players are speed junkies. If this all goes through, then I would not be surprised to see games players migrate to linux in droves.

However I am re-reviewing the literature and might be able to be convinced that having it slightly lower is better, but I still think that having the top of the screen at eye level is too low. Has been ages since I looked at this properly,

I did ergonomics as part of my course at uni. Having the top of the screen at eye level means your gaze is always from level and down, this is not good practice and encourages a hunched posture as you will tend to aim your head at the middl

I've been using Windows 8 for months, and while I've initially had the same reaction about that bloody schizophrenic UI, it's not hard to configure everything to look and feel almost exactly like Windows 7. So are you saying there are two

Anyone can sit and judge on anything they wish, you can judge someone's business, their politics, their religion, whatever. You might think it is impolite, however there isn't any hard and fast rule that says anyone has to be polite either.

It's a bit like the worlds best lottery. To enter you devise a method that can generate lots of numbers. And then whoever has the numbers that match reality the best, wins $3 million dollars, a big desk and a really comfy chair.
