For some reason good music[1] with vocals that I haven't heard to death add a sort-of distraction when I'm working so I choose to listen to music that I've heard enough to have memorized the vocals or music without vocals at

Some do and some don't. I haven't personally tested any of these, but according to the application database, only Photoshop CC 2015 has reached "Gold" level of compatiblity. Photoshop CC 2015 will work with some issues

I'm always curious with releases of Wine about specifically what new software can be run that couldn't be run with the previous version(s). It's been a long time since I've done anything with Wine, but I'm pleased

Gah, yes, thanks for that. Edit button is gone or I'd fix it ;).

I may have read it incorrectly but didn't Lexmark sue a reseller, not an end-user? I don't think it changes anything -- my thinking is that suing over what is likely a trivial change made to allow them to screw their customers by

Although I tend to be anti-patent, the circumstances around the case are important and the eff didn't really provide them. The link, included, pointed directly to the ruling which I was unable to grok as a non-lawyer. I found a more d

I've taken a bit of my lunchtime to comment on this post in various places but one that kept coming up is "is there code for this, somewhere?" I have a camera setup on my RPi for this purpose, but never got around to tying in

That's generally the same in Michigan unless it is a subdivision/residential area, but even then it's rare for a cop to waste the time. It's possible to get a ticket for going 1-5 MPH over the limit. It's describe

Laws vary from state to state covering things like the legal use of telephoto lenses, etc (and some of these laws, themselves, are in violation of federal protections and therefore void). As a general rule you are not violating the law if

In general, I agree with your points. In Michigan, with a few exceptions (freeway design limitations/residential roads), the speed limit is supposed to be set at (I think) the 85th percentile. Effectively -- county/city/tow

In a residential subdivision like I live in, speeding is much more dangerous than it would be on a county/city/township road. There are various things that play against safety in residential roads marked for 25 MPH speeds. In the

Completely agree - does anyone know if there are similar open source projects around this? I already have an RPi camera setup for this exactly purpose, but I estimate speed manually (I've measured distance between two visible points o

Count me in as a "nitpicking busybody", though I'd hardly equate dog walking offenses with the kind of damage a speeding driver in a residential neighborhood can cause. Speeding in a subdivision is annoying to those who live

Just used it successfully (with some changes at the bottom -- converting the certificate so I could import it to Windows) to get a cert for my IIS web server. Worked like a champ!

Gotta say - Well done. I'm a remote guy and have been for over 10 years (different companies) and being a part of a community targeted at "just remotes" is something I've wanted for a long time. The site is polished; ext

It's a political tactic that's been used forever . When the legislature wants to do something unpopular (or even stupid which is what this is), associate it with the "Evil Of The Era" and propose the bad legislation a

I hear ya, but "Mechanic's Car"[1] sometimes comes into play. I recently installed a new AC router in my home. I took the time to install OSS firmware, customized all parts of the security, applied a few tweaks to the WiFi

I'm not sure what else I can write to convince you -- I've detailed how I "read" so quickly in a few comments on this topic. It's true but I don't think it's all that unusual (your comment is making me th

Actually, it's only technical books (programming specifically) that I'm referring to. I do not read fiction that way (I actually prefer audiobooks for fiction mainly because speed reading fiction is less enjoyable). To be fair (

The course I took promised both, so the problems the article has with speed reading courses are completely fair IMO. They're ridiculous and on par with claiming a pill will make you lose hundreds of pounds without any effort or work.

On its own, you're not going to magically be able to reduce your reading time by 95% and still maintain the level of retention you get by a slow word-for-word read from a few weeks with an app/course. As the article states, there

On the security front, they need to clarify one large point: who has the keys to that encrypted data on the server? It's great that they protect the data in transit and store it encrypted on their servers, but if the data is being encr

What you've stated in your first sentence is a perfect interpretation IMHO. Providing kindness in response to evil diffuses the problem. Some translations adjust that verse contextually to read "Heaping hot coals of shame".

I quoted the exact same verse in my response and was similarly concerned how it would be taken in this forum (having been the guy who generally rolled my eyes when people quoted the bible). Regardless of ones opinion of the bible, that ver

Great read and I've seen this work directly in my life for the 20 years after I heard this advice for the first time. There's no avoiding it. Someone is going to treat you terribly for reasons you don't deserve and most of t

Two points make this solution unlikely to meet the goals the author is attempting to meet: Those who are performing whatever evil acts of information sharing are disallowed by the counsel will use tools that do not have a counsel who ca
