Check the map key. The FAP 342 and FAP 420 are set as "under construction", not built and existing.

"the laptop's bottom surface is coated in soft checkerboard patterned plastic" Looks like carbon fiber to me.

Some companies have a culture of patenting. You want to stay hired - you patent everything you can, to reach the targets. A friend worked for a company that did code maintenance (support/bug fixing) for some embedded IBM systems. They were

Yes, you are prompted to enable G+ in many "normal" activities. You are also prompted to "unify your accounts" and "use your real name" in youtube. You cannot even skip that "use your real name" prompt, I usually reload the link I wanted an

For firmware, 2012 is actually very new. I don't think manufacturers change the versions too often, even on firmware updates - they usually maintain/patch the original firmware (the version that was used when the hardware launched). A mothe

This was not unheard of. CD-Extra/Mixed Mode CDs were used for a lot of games[1] because they could use the drive's hardware decoding so there was no performance impact. At that time decoding a MP3 track could take more than 50% CPU. [1] h

They already have the Titan, four times more efficient, with 17 pflop consuming only 8000 kwh.

It's not efficient to hunt rabbits. You have to lay traps and just wait for them to come. You can eat them as soon as they are trapped (sell them an app) or keep them in the trap (sell them a service, like Dropbox, or rent them to the zoos,

Also, you cannot disable the automatic update in the Catalyst Control Center. Uncheck the Auto Update box, click Apply - the box is checked again.

Some cars expose a CAN bus through the diagnostic port, but reject commands like these coming from that port, probably for security and safety reasons. You have to get to the "internal" bus to be able to do this kind of hack.

The Note fits in a pocket. For the Tab you have to have a special pocket or a purse to carry it everywhere. Phablets are a compromise, but after you use the Note for one day as a phone, you will say "Wow, what a small screen my old phone ha

The last time they tested the diesel generator failover at a customer's site, the generator went on just fine, but then it did not want to switch to mains again. The whole building was powered by the generator for almost two days, until the

There is an editor action to select a line (Select line at caret) in the keymap that doesn't have a default shortcut, but you can define it and use it instead of the first Home+Shift+down. Then you can extend the selection with Shift+down.

It could be one of those bugs actually, as I don't think the manufacturers use the latest version of the reference code. Probably they use whatever version was available when the project was started or whatever version the programmers are c

Well, I had to bring industrial earmuffs (30 dB) while working for one customer, as there was such a noise in their office (lots of people shouting at each other) that strong in-ear phones were not good enough.

I don't find the "other top HN post right now" regarding this, but as I understand it [paraphrasing], nobody told him "hey, you'll probably get 6 months", they only told him "hmm, you can reduce it to 25 years. maybe. if you beg."

I had your application installed for a while on my Galaxy Note, but it drained the battery so I had to uninstall it. Just downloaded it again to check if it still has issues.

I had one of these for years. It doesn't work every time (not every time the pressure drops it will start to rain) but it helps you prepare. I also have a barometer on the Galaxy Note phone. I tried some barometer applications, but I could

But this also means they will compete in some of the markets. We'll see what happens. It should be easier to pick a laptop then, as I don't think we will see any Lenovo with a non-glossy screen.

This is not about patents in general, it's just about patents that they don't own.

45 nanograms per liter means about 1 cup of coffee every 6000 liters of water. This doesn't sound like a lot, but 6000 liters fit in a cube of ~1.8m - and there is a lot of water out there. The biological half-life of caffeine (how long it

This sounds good until you realize that "exciting" means that the "Coca-Cola" can you just bought has something else inside (maybe seawater), because they cannot defend the brand so everyone can use the name and the color to sell their own

For one thing, digital publishers have the same problem that record labels do: piracy This is not new and it existed before the e-book publishing started to grow. I remember reading a digital edition of the Lord of the Rings 15 years ago.

I had a client with the same issues. The company account is still pending after 4 months of e-mails and phone calls; in the meantime they are using an individual account to publish. It doesn't follow Apple's rules, but it's either that or n

The easiest way to do this is with a DDoS on the patent office. If everyone issues a bogus patent request every day, every patent will be granted :).
