Looks pretty interesting but I find myself having to guess what you're doing. It's important to be concise and reference things people already know ("Pixar") when you want to convey information quickly, but it's unclear what the value of th

Changing DPI settings still screws up various applications on Windows 7 (fonts on various UI elements don't scale consistently, e.g. Visual Studio 2010 is messed up, games are usually completely broken even modern ones like Starcraft II, et

Out of curiosity can you recommend anywhere decent (apart from the obvious freelancing/guru sites I guess) to find such a freelance sysadmin?

I pay for everything I can with my credit card. It means I have a digital trail of all my spending, which makes budgeting much simpler.

I go to many music festivals and often take photos while I'm there. In 2-3 hours I'm pretty much always guaranteed to produce at least 10 awesome photos of people with little effort. People who want to be photographed find you and go out

Odd title; confusing for those of us who haven't used TextMate and unnecessarily specific since the feature in question isn't specific to TextMate at all. Surely the title should be "'Go-to-file' and 'Go-to-symbol' shortcuts in Google Chr

It's frustrating debating with one who employs such rhetoric: 1. "I don't consider actively exploiting the poor as "not improving their lives enough"." and "Neither do I consider marginal benefit a positive if it comes at the cost of explo

Perhaps it's not "passive aggressive" in terms of the DSM criteria but it's certainly not constructive: 1. it asserts authority ("right") rather directly addressing the underlying issue (the concerns the users of the bathroom have with hy

Assuming this hardware monitor is reasonably accurate, my hyperthreaded quad core i7 chows 145W when I'm really busy, which with my 80+ Corsair HX750W means I'm not eating more than 2 100W lightbulbs. I seldom play games any more so rare

Agreed. If you're seeing that Photoshop splash screen regularly you simply don't have enough RAM. I keep my PC running for weeks on end and seldom close anything. With 12GB of RAM (which costs nothing) I almost never run out of RAM and e

Problem with this article is they're not considering whether their write load is justifiable. Why are they writing 15x as much data as they read? Anand wrote this in response to the question: "Statistics are pretty beefy (they are one of

I'd argue that having a blocked credit card is FAR more manageable than a blocked debit card and this is precisely why I almost always only carry credit cards (I also move my income into an investment account from my cheque account as soon

Interestingly, the 10TB only applies to outgoing traffic. For most people this probably isn't that important but for my current project it's great because the bulk of my bandwidth will be users uploading data and/or me fetching that data

The major reason my first relationship (at 28) failed was because of the love/approval addiction I had. At its core that was because of a set of dysfunctional beliefs I had about myself, and had little to do with introversion or extroversi

I suspect that this sort of behaviour is indeed a precursor to empathy. I think the debate would be greatly improved if all parties could agree on a definition of "empathy", and then identify whether the experimental design justifies a con
